    It's weird they compare mostly monotheist religions, thereby leaving out the Greeks and Romans, but include Hinduism.

    it gives the overall impression that there weren't people/religions in the areas until christianity/islam/budhism/hinduism/judeism showed up.

    the muslim expansion into europe and southeast asia ends up looking like the first punch.

    Incomplete and potentially misleading, sure. A better name would be "A Graphic History of Contemporary Mainstream Religion." The fact they ignored Alexander the Great's conquest of Egypt pretty much sums it up.

    That's the impression I got, too. I kinda doubt that's accurate, though.

    it might be sorta accurate for that particular movement, but it kinda ignores how christianity got there.
