From the same passage ('Evolution of Beauty'), I tried the Timeline fuunction in Google NotebookLM.
OUTPUT:
Detailed Timeline of Beauty Standards
- 3rd Millennium BC (Ancient Egypt):
- Slim waists were highly prized as a beauty standard for women.
- Thick black eyeliner was considered beautiful for both men and women, used to highlight facial features.
- 3rd Century BC to 3rd Century AD (Han Dynasty, China):
- Pale skin was a significant marker of beauty, associated with the upper class who did not labour outdoors.
- A delicate frame was also considered a great beauty for women.
- Ancient Greece (Specific dates not provided, but distinct from Han Dynasty):
- Heavy, broad hips were a defining characteristic of beautiful women.
- Make-up, particularly to highlight the eyes (dark-rimmed eyes in art), was applied.
- Tang Dynasty, China (A few hundred years after Han Dynasty):
- Wider waists became desirable, and slender women were seldom seen.
- 794-1185 (Heian Period, Japan):
- Very long, dark hair, extending to or beyond the toes, was one of the most sought-after features in women.
It's not visually a timeline (like the one in Padlet). It's merely a chronological outline/summary.
Then, it happened that the passage itself had a strong historical dimension.
