Neat map/history of religion
« on: December 20, 2006, 10:09:24 AM »
Saw this on Digg today, it's a neat animated map of the history of religion over the past few thousand years:

The back and forth between christianity and islam is fascinating.  It's one thing to read about it and know the basic facts, but seeing it animated like this is a fine visual aid.
