More recently he has made various travels, notably to Uzbekistan in 2018.

Career

He is known to have started making maps as a hobby on his parents' computer. He soon learnt how to use maps in a frame by frame format, putting several maps together to form a single animated mapping video. In 2016 he published the video: The History of the world: Every Year, which was remarked to be the finest work in Animated Historical Mapping by the Mapping Community, with depiction of global events at a scale that had never been seen before.[2][3][4] He soon developed an interest in Indian History and has since published multiple videos on the latter.[5] He has made illustration on a wide range of subjects from The History of Nations to the spread of ideas and growth of populations.[6][7] His videos on Europe and elsewhere have been used as a teaching source on several occasions.[8]
