Chart starts at 1950BC. The British empire was in its infancy 3000+ years later and is well represented on the chart.

I remember seeing this or something similar when I was in high school (1982-85).

>>What other African kingdoms have been world powers?

Nigeria; I’ve heard from several descendants of her kings, generals, and admirals, all asking to give me a share of the imperial fortunes.

And I would swear I’ve heard Louis-Louis Fairatcons mention Kwaanzanastania.

Thanks for posting it! I love the useful way the author shows the ebb and tide of civilizations by how much space they take up on the chart. And also when they tail out and finally disappear . . . .

A great graphic, and thanks for posting. I notice they’ve left out the Hyborean Age.
