Who has controlled the middle east?

Pretty much everyone it is said.

Here's 5000 years of history displayed in 90 seconds, a geographer's dream.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do.
Who leaves the Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do.
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do.
Who robs cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do.

Cool graphic. Puts our current irrational respect for random and meaningless borders in perspective.

The Bush Empire was forgotten...maybe because it is not really established yet

Man, I was seriously disappointed. I fully expected a color at the end for the "Bush'ist Junta".

No joy.

I had no sound on mine. I could imagine screems, clashing of swords, the sound of arrows zinging through the air, and then bullets and bombs as times changed.

Many have ruled in the Middle East, few, if any have controlled it.
