The History of the World, Every Year

What an amazing video - I was pretty much glued to the screen for the entire 20 minutes. It will require a good few re-watches to get a hold of the things you miss while trying to keep up with everything that happens, y'know, in analysed recorded history, but they will be just as captivating, surely.

An incredible job by the people involved. Trying to picture the timeline and everything that eventually pulls together to create the tapestry that makes up a life, the history of a single human being, is a huge enough endeavour, let alone the movement of every single human through time.

Looking from the outside and then diving as far and as deeply in as possible only continues to emphasize the beautiful and insane complexity of the world. It would be amazing to be able to Dr Manhattan view it all, but hey, these kinds of videos are a pretty great glimpse.

Cheers, History.

Unity Through Laughter - So Fluffy!!!

I seriously want as many people to watch this video as possible - the more useless stereotypes and preconceptions dead, the better (although may the humorously benign ones live forever! I can't take a world where an Arabian prince can't be in possession of a real life tiger and one ideally named Rajah).

Love this guy and genuinely love what he's trying to do with his work - it's a hell of a balance being able to remain genuine, truly hilarious and culturally sensitive without completely ignoring cultural differences and ultimately being able to highlight the humour in all of it.

Salud Gibril!
