Data Visualisation: A History of the World in 100 Seconds
A brilliant visualisation of the history of the world: “Many wikipedia articles have coordinates. Many have references to historic events. @godawful and @heychinaski cross referenced the two to create a dynamic visualization of Wikipedia’s view of world history. Watch as empires fall, wars break out and continents are discovered.” (Description provided by the creators)
