History of the World in 100 Seconds (Accoding to Wikipedia)

     In Wikipedia, most of the event-based articles are tagged with geographic coordinates. Mainly using this attribute of Wikipedia, Gareth Lloyd, software engineer, and Tom Martin built "History of the World in 100 Seconds". Then they made an animation of it.
     The animation starts with the date 499 BC and continues until the year 2011. You can track the dates at the bottom right corner. In my opinion, it doesn't seem 100% accurate but who cares? It does show the essetial information, and if I got it right it's aim isn't to be 100% accurate in the first place, rather it's to make people to have a general idea about the world history. I liked the animation and the idea in general. In the end of the animation the modern world map appearing vaguely is another aspect that I liked.
