  • video was hot but the egyptians werent western people

  • Neither were the Moors and the Aztecs.

  • Cool video, I could use some different music throughout.

    Did you do all the animations? Did you draw them all, or import pictures from magazines, etc.?

  • They are all images I found in books. The idea was to use an image of a soldier made by the civilization or age that it represents. Obviously I couldn't use original images by the Neandrathal and early man (didn't want to use stick figures) so they are illustrations from the forties, I think.

    The soundtrack is supposed to resemble a marching army, but also the march of time, the march of "progress". After awhile is becomes pretty abstract and it almost sounds like a heartbeat.

  • A bit US & 20th century bias here...

  • Wester Civilizations were made up. The Historians admit that they made it all up so it's fake.

  • @EuropaPax i see....i did miss it,,,this person is an artist..

  • This "history" is interesting, ...am I to infer from this that warfare is a particular characteristic of Western Culture? I'm certain that I must have missed something, right? No half-educated boob would make such a proposition....right?

  • this is retarded

  • at least you're honest

  • what we want?? to take over the world of course ;)

  • I think the characters killing themselves were supposed to be symbolic of civilizations phasing each other out. The characters used were just prominent figures of those civilizations

  • this is crap. thats all I have to say.  the beginning is cute, bt the rest just ignores the rest of the world. and if you are concentrating on militay history, then you left out a LOT. yeah...
