Maps of War

October 29th, 2006

Though I’ve found the turbulent history of the Middle East to be fascinating, I’ve never before found a resource so eloquent as the Maps of War Imperial History flash animation which enables one to see 5000 years of empire building and state history in about 90 seconds.

Though a lot of the empires shown here are familiar, I had no idea their respective magnitudes or durations.
