Key Takeaways:
This visual timeline attempts to plot all of the world’s empires throughout history, based on geographic area and size.
The rise and fall of familiar civilizations, like the Romans, Mongols, or Ottomans can be seen, as well as modern powerhouses like the U.S. or China.
Attempting to plot this all on one timeline is bold, but also comes with its many challenges and some omissions.

Always thinking there’s some other fate.
