The song is not much of a song in the musical sense, but I think it is rare for anything in pop culture to reflect much historical reality. I always hoped someone would make exactly this video for this song.
I couldn't find out anything about who made it –– just "A.D." on YouTube. I think the maker did an amazing job. I think the video looks very professional.
Too bad they don't teach history like this in high school. Everyone would get it. Hard to imagine Billy Joel's iconic hit could get much better, but this video is a masterpiece. Wished they put Christie Brinkley in there somewhere; she's ageless.

Saw Billy Joel live at Wembley last year. My wife loved it. Unfortunately I'm not a fan and the acoustics at Wembley are dreadful, but I did and still do love this song. Simply because it is fantastic
