I have been meaning to post this for some time as it really couldn’t be more interesting. It’s a short video that traces the movements, from birth to death, of tens of thousands of notable people across the world, with data gleaned from the earliest written records. As such, it is a fantastic visual proxy for the spread of people and culture across time and space – a true “Gods eye view” of human civilization. It’s mesmerizing, informative, beautiful… and I’ve watched it a zillion times. Runs 6:38 minutes long. https://youtube/watch?v=4gIhRkCcD4U
