“What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.
History, although sometimes made up of the few acts of the great, is more often shaped by the many acts of the small.”
Animated version of the Bayeux Tapestry. Starts about halfway through the original work at the appearence of Halley's Comet and concludes at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
