What d'you mean by Judea-centrism?
Anyhow, I thought it was a bit inaccurate for the Byzantines to be killing the Romans since, um, Byzantines are Romans (yes yes I know it's a bit more complicated than that but come on). But eh I guess artistic license. Still cool to see the Bzantines in, indeed. Actualy I'm surprised I was able to recognize all the groups in thetere.
I've actually never heard the song before, despite it supposedly being pretty famous, and I gotta say even though the lyrics make me feel a bit uncomfortable (especially in the light of the video), it is a rather haunting and beautiful melody.

It seems that the "land" is current Israel/Palestine (otherwise it does not make sense to finish off the video with israeli army vs palestinian orders).
Well aye I think that was the point of the video, although of course its point can be applied elsewhere.
Also, for those interested, here's a blog post about the video by the animator/creator/cartoonist/whatever behind this whole thing: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2012/10/01/this-land-is-mine/comment-page-1/
Apparently she is aware of the fact that Byzantines killing Romans doesn't make much sense so I'm happy: "I don’t know if “Romans” ever fought “Byzantines” (Eastern Romans) but this is a cartoon."
And now that I think about it, the song does have a bit of a Western flair...

How can this run off a program just 64kb in size including sound, textures and everything? How!? ![[pissed]](/images/smilies/pissed.gif "Pissed [pissed]")

Similarly with just 4kb
. This one uses a lot of fractals, and so somehow less impressive to me, because everyone knows fractals are magic.

Link to download the files in the youtube descriptions, might be various compatability issues though.

Not sure what exactly the elephant thought she was painting*, but a cool video
*I suppose an elephant does not view his/her own form as one to be abstracted in this very human manner anyway. But i like the video, if anything it shows that those creatures can bother to memorise a number of paintbrush movements, provided they deem it worth their trouble to amuse the stupid humans and get some extra food.
I at least hope that the canvas was not tainted with stuff which would cause the elephant to paint over not readily visible lines.

The 'Goblin Shark', which apparently bites by repositioning its whole jaw structure that originally was hidden below the rest of the head..
