Synopsis for the Theatrical Short History Of The World In Three Minutes Flat

This charming little short film reconstructs the history of the world as an ever rising building- generation after generation building on top of each other, with notable moments standing out (at one point during the Dark Ages section a man in a turban says "praise be to Allah! I've invented the Zero!" "What?" "Nothing, nothing." and then rolling on instantly.)

It's evidently a product of the cold war era- it ends with a musroom cloud exploding at the very top.
