The concept of using a pyramid with different rooms representing different points of time is clever. And I throughly enjoyed the animation. It almost felt like a "Where's Waldo" discovering all the micro-interactions. However, I was so confused and overwhelmed of what and where I needed to focus my attention to mid-way through.
I am by no means a history buff but I think I have a reasonable grasp on world history...although I got utterly lost in where we were in the telling of human history. I spent so much of the viewing trying to figure out the chronological timeline that the pyramid was representing. And I'm still confused at what I was supposed to gain from this telling of human history. Maybe if I rewatched it after settling in to the storytelling style it would be clearer. TLDR: Intriguing idea with overwhelming visuals that make for an unclear plot.
