Visual History of the Middle East

This is amazing: www.mapsofwar.com Puts a lot of the things I've learned into perspective, both chronologically and in terms of scale regarding how much land each empire covered.

So who the hell were the Sassanids? Where did the name Calphilate come from? Excuse me, I'll have a lot of Wikipeding to do. (That was the first time I ever used Wikipedia as a verb.)
