Holy cow!

What a great pair of links!

Visual guide to the history of religious expansion – somacandra, I’m lookin’ at you! Heh. The bit at the end with Israel, well, my twisted brain found it amusing. It was like someone said “Okay guys, who let the jews back in the party? Was it you, Uncle Sam, you naughty boy?”

I’d be interested in seeing this exact thing, except with a more diverse color-coding for christianity.

Also, AN ARG FOR THE TRANSFORMERS MOVIE. Thanks to CJ who posted it! It’s way too “flash-y” for me to look at from work, sadly, but I’ll check it out after I get home.

(EDIT: I forgot – the password is takara83. Also, go here to see the brand-new-today trailer. I haven’t watched that, either.

  1. The religion page looked broken when I went–just broken tags, even on a refresh. And the transformer page… I couldn’t go anywhere. It just said something approximating “access denied”.

  3. Non java-player version of the trailer…

    Is available here:

    I had some trouble with the java player, I couldn’t d/l fast enough and it kept stuttering… the link is to WinMedia or QT versions. Yay!

  4. wow, definitely interesting… and I would definitely like to see a colour coding for Christianity, because that term is tossed around like crazy these days. At the very least, it should be broken into Catholic and non-Catholic/protestant.
    It should be noted that this is essentially an organized/major religion chart as well. At 3000 BC, there were civilizations spread over much more than just India, and Israel.

    Then again, there aren’t mentions of other civs like various indians, other continent natives; what about the Incas, or Atlantis? :P
    Or greek and roman mythology, definitely is missing…

    So FWIW, it’s a nice visualization :) To be fair, it is a ‘map of war’, so it’s basically saying these were the most active/vocal/violent over history…
