Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for "But they differentiated between the Roman Empire & Byzantine Empire!"

Um... excusme? I can't watch the video right now, so what does the Romans and Byzantines thing mean?

Nice maps. Great link chopstyx.

This'll be moved to the history thread...

Nice little movie.
