Very Eurocentric. The size of the Han relative to the Roman Empire tells me a lot. Still a cool concept.

Sumeria doesn’t deserve a highlight? I don’t understand on what assumptions this graphic was made, but I’d suspect the author needs more education in history.

I really like this, but the way the data is presented, I think gives a false impression of the scale and significance of various polities. For example, the Roman Empire takes up about 1/3 of the chart at it’s peak, while the contemporaneous Han Dynasty takes up like 1/20th. At their respective peaks around the first century AD, the Han controlled more land than Rome, and had a slightly larger population. But in the chart it’s a fraction of the size. It makes places outside Europe seem like an afterthought.

I can maybe see Europe being larger than Africa on this map, but the fact that it’s larger than Asia, I mean the bias couldn’t be more obvious like come on 🙄

Let the „Byzantine Empire“ name die already.

The more prosperous part of the Roman Empire never stopped being Roman, is this a western european centric thinking to portray it as such?
