Unclear who eventually dominated or didn't.

The common thread is, aspects of civilizations rise and fall. History is the story of man and the forces of his evolution.

I have a similar one. Stretches out almost 6 feet. Includes biblical history timeline too. Don't pay that any real attention but is interesting. Gets real small and hard to read as history progresses. Quite inclusive though. Good quick reference. Looks cool on a long empty wall. Most folk stop and peruse it when they see it.
