The innovations in the slideshow below each involve a reworked moment in history. We all learned what happened during the Renaissance and are aware of historical figures like Gandhi, cavemen and samurai warriors.

Forget everything you learned in history class and cycle through this cluster. It'll tell you everything you really need to know about world history.
