A history of the world in 100 seconds

Yet another fascinating piece of work here that concerns the themes of mapping and data visualisation that I am currently most interested in.  This well executed project cross references the geographical and historical information provided in Wikipedia articles to provide a stunning, animated time line / global event map.

Despite currently working on two mapping projects, this piece has inspired me to take an entirely new direction with my Unknown Alphabets project from earlier this year.  The results of which should be on here within the next few months.
