  2. Thank you Randy.... it's nice, although I wish I knew at what time things happened. I think I will search for more time lapse views, they show very well how the balance of power is changing over the centuries.

  3. My thoughts exactly. It would be even better if they time stamped it somehow. Look how late Germany arrives. Also, Sweden and Norway never change.

  4. Yes Randy, we learned at school that Germany was a patchwork quilt of principalities and smaller or bigger kingdoms for most of the historic time. Maybe that is one more reason why nationalism could blow up the egos of so many people in the last centuries... just a thought. And maybe it is also a reason why we have castles and strongholds allover the country like others have department stores.
