That was pretty neat, Ird. Also disturbing at the same time.

That brings into focus all of the wars that have been fought in that area in the past 3 thousand years.....

It seemed to put things in perspective for me.

Like huntcg said, neat but disturbing.

To me, the most interesting item was the fact that the largest areas controlled were by Mediterranean, Asian/Turkic or Arab 'invaders' - the smallest by the Crusaders - yet the Islamic/AQ/TB leaders point to that as the main thrust of their opposition of 'evil'.

Very good find. Lots of different people fighting over the same chunk of real estate over the past 5000 years.

Do a map with the same time period of most parts of the world and it wouldn't look much different.
