Joseph Priestley’s 1769 'A New Chart of History' is terrible. Is the 2016 update any better?

This post from Kottke today (May 15, 2026) has both charts side by side. Priestley's version has been rightly ridiculed, but the 2016 update appears to have the same problems — are there any redeeming qualities?
