A Brief History Of The Middle East
posted by Steven Shaw at 3:23 pmThis 90-second animated timeline and map shows which conquering empires have ruled the Middle East over a period of 5000 years. Including Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Greeks, Persians, Europeans and many more… Just goes to show how much turmoil and constant change the area has suffered. And nobody’s really sure just who’s in control these days (that person who muttered “Fox News” should leave the room). From Maps of War.
