This amazing history of London is made entirely out of paper

National Geographic has made a beautiful animated history of London spanning 40,000 years - and the whole thing is made out of paper.

to the Vikings...

the Romans...

the Black Death...

the Industrial Revolution...

and the present day, where all this stuff ends up in a museum...
