Animated graph of the tallest buildings & structures throughout history, from 2600 BC to 2025 AD.

You can see how the list is dominated by the Pyramids, Christian Cathedrals, American skyscrapers, Monuments, TV Towers and finally Asian Skyscrapers.

This list includes all free-standing buildings & structures, but does not include guyed TV towers or chimneys.
