Interesting how China and India are the only two civilizations to make it from 4000 years ago to now without pause.

Nice visual way of storytelling. A bit western/white point of view, but still nice.

Had a copy as a kid. I think it would be a potentially interesting project to modernize it.

The eurocentrism is strong with this one. China, in particular, gets majorly shortchanged.

Cool looking map but China gets the shaft in a major way (and for what it’s worth, I’m an Irish-American)

Why does it begin at 2000bc instead of 3500bc ? And why is Iraq split up across eras whilst other countries are showed as one throughout history ?

I’m not qualified to comment on much of this map, but as a Chinese historian, this chart is awful. Chinese power at many points in this history far surpassed anywhere else in the world, and Ming Dynasty China was even arguably the most powerful place in the history of the world until the British Empire.

Rome and the Han Empire had nearly identical territories and influence, yet on this map, Rome appears to be several times wider than the Han.

Grossly Eurocentric. Check out Useful Charts on YouTube for better info

This image seems to suggest that the Mongols overthrew the Ming Dynasty, rather than the other way around.
