Friday Fun Link – July 7, 2006 (Largest Cities Throughout History)

One of the great things about doing a weekly fun link targetted at librarians is that I can basically link to anything
interesting I find since it’s all information and librarians tend to be
interested in…information. This week’s link is one of this type – not
directly related to libraries or librarians but very cool nonetheless.

The largest cities throughout history
list “is an an amazing work providing the population of cities
throughout time. [The author] utilized a plethora of historical sources
to locate approximate populations for the world’s largest cities since
3100 BCE.”
