Maps of War – History in 90 seconds




This is an amazing Shockwave production showing in 90 seconds the ebb and flow of empires in the region of the Mediterranean basin and beyond.

Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Persians, Europeans...the list goes on. Who will control the Middle East today? That is a much bigger question.

Activity/animation of a map of the Middle East showing the ebb and flow of different conquerors from -3000 to 1979. See 5,000 years of history in 90-seconds....
