Our History is no more than a series of incredible events. From the birth of a thousand-year-old empire to the death of a flourishing civilization, from the creative genius of a handful of men to a worldwide cultural revolution, the most infinitesimal of our decisions can influence the future of humanity.

With spectacular reconstructions created by 3D modeling specialists, every story is told in sequences, which gives new perspective for today.
