Very Eurocentric. The size of the Han relative to the Roman Empire tells me a lot. Still a cool concept.

Sumeria doesn’t deserve a highlight? I don’t understand on what assumptions this graphic was made, but I’d suspect the author needs more education in history.

I really like this, but the way the data is presented, I think gives a false impression of the scale and significance of various polities. For example, the Roman Empire takes up about 1/3 of the chart at it’s peak, while the contemporaneous Han Dynasty takes up like 1/20th. At their respective peaks around the first century AD, the Han controlled more land than Rome, and had a slightly larger population. But in the chart it’s a fraction of the size. It makes places outside Europe seem like an afterthought.

I can maybe see Europe being larger than Africa on this map, but the fact that it’s larger than Asia, I mean the bias couldn’t be more obvious like come on 🙄

Actually, according to ancient astronauts theorists…

Let the “Byzantine Empire” name die already.

The more prosperous part of the Roman Empire never stopped being Roman, is this a western european centric thinking to portray it as such?

Cool, but unreadable

This is either wildly outdated or just poorly researched. For instance the Norte Chico civilization was prospering in South America since at least 3000 BC.

Why is any Chinese empire never as large as the Ottoman Empire or even the Egyptian Malmluks…?

Either China should also show in SEA or Vietnam should be east Asia with China. Furthermore I think Asia is way too condensed, if using the same scale Europe should just be one subsection
