Man and his image cannot
be separated. But a photograph explains what he looks like. The same goes
for the whole planet. It keeps on changing every moment. But to visualize it,
we need photographs of Earth, perhaps year by year. We call it ‘Historical Maps’.
To make the study of
history purposeful and entertaining, if possible, I have made these maps,
starting from 600 B.C. and ending with the world of today. I have covered virtually
everything in this project that has happened to this ‘civilized world’ in the
past.

All the noteworthy political
events over the years across the globe are condensed in it. How the political
borders evolved over a period of two and a half millennia is depicted through
these maps. Annual global political changes are exhibited to enable the user a
clear insight of the contribution of various personalities, events and
governments to shape the present political borders. In a nutshell, we can call
it ‘global political history’, itself a summary of everything that has happened
in the past twenty five centuries. Therefore this project highlights the
features of each era.
I have created a Youtube
Channel for the purpose. Since it is an infinite subject having enormous depth
and width, it cannot be explained in a video or two. We have to go for smaller and
easily ‘digestible’ videos. So I have thought to dissect the huge whole into
hundreds of comfortable episodes and playlists.
This ‘promo’, promotional video, will help you understand my future plans.
