Does a video of the complete history of civilization on Earth exist?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Sorry in advance admins if it is not.

What I want is a video or mod I can download that shows all the major events of Civilization according to the generally accepted timeline. For example the entire battle of Kadesh could just be a chariot fighting an archer or whatever.

Basically the video would start at 4000 BC or earlier and go through each civ each "turn" showing all the moves it makes. Obviously the level of detail would have to be toned down and there would be alot of civs.

It would be cool if a pop up could be added to explain which battle the fight represents and explaining what was built in a city.

Obviously this would be an enormous undertaking but knowing people's obsession with this game it would not surprise me if someone had actually created it. Obviously some events could not be simulated owing to the rules of the game so heavy use of the map editor would b required.

I have seen Rhy's and fall of civilization and while it is good it does not acurately depict history and since players can influence the game it takes twists not found in history.

Anyone have any idea if this exists in one form or another (not necessarily to may exact specifications)?

I do not think that this has been done.

As you said, RFC is a pretty good simulation. What I would suggest if you want to try this is to download RFC Multiplayer and play a hotseat game so that you can be all of the civs at once(Or get a few people to join you and divide up the civs).

If your going to do this then you will need to mod RFC a little to make it more accurate. For example: I game terms, Jerusalem was built by a Babylonian settler and not created as an independent city in 3000 BC. Buddhism was also founded alot later. These things were changed so that the game would play better. There are alot of other things that you will have to mod to but you should be able to do a somewhat historical game if you devote a lot of time to it.
