Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback in the previous video (v=0v5f5DFcn6o) while this was still in production. If you have any questions, think I left something out, or find any mistake, leave a comment. All serious feedback is valuable to me. Also see the FAQ section at the bottom of this description.
Most of what is shown here are civilizations with a writing system and urban centers. There are some exceptions to this where possible. This does not include most pre-historical cultures.
Special Thanks to mutong for research and translation of several Chinese maps.
