This blog entry offered a terrific moving map that swept forward through the turmoil of Europe's history/geography from 1000 AD until 2005. Unfortunately, the video of it had only been up here a couple of days when YouTube withdrew it from its website (and therefore from everywhere online), because of a disputed copyright claim. Apologies to readers who hadn't yet caught up with it here.
I can't seem tom play this back. Shame.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that. Perhaps you can just go to YouTube and search for it. I think it's titled Epic Time-Lapse Map etc.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is Lithuanian. Very interesting to see how large Lithuania became at some point.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, Bob Dylan's grandparents are Lithuanian, Leonard Cohen's too. If both their grandparents had been Irish - as I am - we'd have claimed those boys by now.
Massive cluster of colours where Germany now is. That was fascinating to watch...
