The entire history of the World from the rise of civilization to the present day.
There are a number of takeaways from this compelling video…
. While humans had migrated to most regions of the earth, including the Americas, well before 3200 BCE, large scale “organized humanity” covered only a small portion of the planet until relatively recently.
. Many of the major civilizations over the centuries are never mentioned in K-12 history classes.
. Who knew there were so many Caliphates?
. During the Roman Ages, there were only about 200 million people on earth, about the same population as present day Pakistan or Brazil.
. Humans did not reach the 1 billion mark until 1802. A little over 200 years later we’re at 7.6 billion.
. Things change. Sometimes very quickly.
