WisdomMaps represent a new take on a very old idea: mind maps, first created in the Near East some 2,000 years ago and more recently popularized by Leonardo da Vinci during the Renaissance. WisdomMaps bring Leonardo's brain-child into the 21st century with a multimedia-rich patented learning technology that shows how the elements of history fit together in terms of cause and effect, meaning and implications, shared concept, historical parallels, and more.
