This is one of my most favorite animated maps ever:
650 Million Years In 1:20 Min.

650 million years of Earth history, which includes a projection into the future of what the Earth will look like in 250 million years (another Pangea, this time in a doughnut shape surrounding the remnants of the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean gets HUGE! I'd love for this to have an interactive scroll bar where the user could zoom back and forth through time at will and zoom in to specific areas. Combine that with a comprehensive historical map of the human parts of history like the animated maps I've already posted. And then add even more speculation showing the Earth's formation and eventual demise... and even the formation/destruction of the entire solar system and/or universe. I found a timeline of Star Trek history for other planets that could be added in as an option. There could even be a Creationist version that blacks out at about 4000 BC.
Remember, if you have any suggestions for Animated Maps Thursdays let me know.
