The Wacky Millennium is one such site. At pw2.netcom/ rogermw, one gets brief description of the major events of the last millennium and the century. The site has no graphics and some facts may not be accurate, but the site is very entertaining.

The Normans invaded England in 1066; everybody united under Ghengis Khan in Mongolia. This site is a nice an frothy way of recapping the centuries gone by.
