Miles Davis for President: Kottke pulls from the ether

Kottke pulls from the ether

Kottke pulls from the ether something I was wondering about two days ago: a map that shows who controlled which parts of the Mid East and when. It's gorgeous and astounding.

Bonus points to anyone who can give distinguishing features of all the empires between the Byzantine and Ottoman (without, of course, using the internet).

Minus points if you're confused about what a Caliphate is and why it's important. Large minus points.
