Delicious Visual Map of History

Delicious Visual Map of History is a Shed post on the blog Wait But Why, written by Tim Urban.
It depicts a map from the book Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline. Made in 1931, it is a page from that book and left Tim with no option but to stare at it for 20 minutes. It shows the empires of the last four thousand years, divided into regions. The amount of space on the map each empire takes up corresponded to which regions it controlled and how powerful it was at that point in time, with a vertical timeline, clearly denoting which empires coexisted at the same time.
