Maps of War
Monday, July 21st, 2008
The site says you can see 5,000 years of history of middle eastern history in 90 seconds, and it is truly and impressive saga. The map is overlaid one by one by the various empires that ruled it. I was shocked to see the size of the Macedonian empire. I had read about it in words, but to see the pictures was just amazing.
I was also surprised by the Roman Empire. For the amount of influence that it has had through the ages, it just wasn’t all that big.
