Most of these I'd known about (although I was occasionally surprised by some of the details) but it's a nice visualization of the empires of (or at least impinging upon) the Middle East through history.

Huh. I'd like it better if it weren't zooming around all the time, but it is pretty visually impressive as well as informative.
