Here are two fascinating flash video maps from the Maps of War website. The first map shows how the geography of religion has evolved over the centuries. Pay special attention to Christianity’s explosive growth that began with the rise of modern missions in the 1700-1800’s.

This is so neat–my 12-year-old son loves history and thoroughly enjoyed seeing (and re-seeing) this rather high speed animation.
Hi eclexia,
I’m glad your son enjoyed these. I had seen the empire one before, but the world religion one was new to me.
