a better approach here is not to specify.  Use

<script src="//api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js <http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js>" type="text/javascript"></script>

that way it will always pick up the proper prefix from the page that contains it.

It looks to me like it may be a problem from mixing secure and insecure sources at the secure site: https://www.public.asu.edu/~vanfleet/history/mgt_timeline.htm

I'd try changing:
<script src="http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js"; type="text/javascript"></script>

to:
<script src="https://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js <http://api.simile-widgets.org/ajax/2.2.1/simile-ajax-api.js>" type="text/javascript"></script>
(the only difference is the one "s" added to the end of "http".

Happy Holidays,

            I'm 78 and javascript is not really in my wheelhouse, but
            the Timeline Widget is, for me, a very important widget.
            I'm interested in scaling it up to the level needed for a
            "biography of the entire planet".

            It deeply saddens me that the simile project seems to have
            fallen of the world's radar.

                    This is the Timeline widget at that site

                    http://simile-widgets.org/timeline/

                    View source on that and you see that it links to
                    this simile_api file, which is not the same as the
                    one to which you linked
                    
view-source:http://simile-widgets.org/timeline/api/timeline-api.js

                    Interesting observation:

                    Paint your url into Firefox, Brave, and Safari and
                    you get different errors.
                    One of which is failure to load the favicon
                    One of which is that Timeline is not defined.

                    Study the instructions at the linked simile_api
                    file and you see that there is a need to define
                    access to timeline.js
                    which, BTW, is not visible on the source of the
                    timeline on simile-widgets.org
                    <http://simile-widgets.org>
                    That timeline is working in firefox.
                    It's the only timeline demo which works.
                    Other ones seem to fail with the same error.

                    No real clue what's going on. I see David Karger
                    is suggesting it's a server error.
