Ridiculously Fascinating 90-Second History Lesson

Even if you didn't wake up this morning craving a refresher course on the spread of the world's major religions, you should probably watch the map below, which animates all of religious history in 90 seconds.  Watch as sprinklings of electric blue Christianity pop up in the Middle East, or as green Islam makes its way down Africa's easten coastline, and try not to feel too much like a tiny speck of dust floating in a giant uncaring universe when the tiny speck of hot-pink Judaism appears in the middle of the map in 1948.  (By the way, anyone else find the phrase "Jewish expansion" weird in this context?)  Then check out the map's home site, Maps of War, which is full of other fascinating animated histories.
