Imperial History of the Middle East in 90 Seconds

[Deleted User] · 2010-02-15 00:15:15

I just found this animation/flash which, in 90 seconds, shows the complete imperial history of one of the most ancient, succesful regions of the Earth: the Middle East and surrounding areas. I found it with StumbleUpon and thought it was worth sharing.

Yeah, that was great. There are a few things like this around. Showing populating migrations over time and the like. Sorry, I don't have any of them bookmarked on this machine.

Very interesting. Just watched this one. I didn't realise democracy was in place around what is today, India. Very cool site indeed.
