In the “morbid but fascinating” category, a condensation of imperial history in the Middle East:

• An amazing presentation to help understand the powers of Empires.
• 3,000 Years in 90 Seconds
• Watch the history of the Middle East (and beyond) unfold with an interactive map showing the various civilizations that have ruled the region from ancient Egypt to modern times.
• This is from the Biblical Archaeological Society e-news.
• No wonder it is still a region in turmoil — it’s never known anything but war and strife.
