Maps of war: animation of middle east history
The folks over at mapsofwar.com have put together an exception little visualization of the history of the middle-east, showing the reigns of every major empire in the last 2000 years.
Highly recommended. Great example of how effective a little animation can be.

Great map.
Scott, What a great lead for home schoolers. I immediately showed this to our teenagers. Tons of questions ensued. Lots of “nations” I hadn’t even heard of.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy reading your blog.
