This is a very special kind of song, combining epic symphonic music and subtle electronic elements with ethnic music styles - Indian, Chinese, African, Arabic and Celtic. I even came up with a little story for it:

In the distant future, the Earth is destroyed and humans have settled in faraway galaxies. An exploration team have been sent to the Earth in the search of an artifact left behind by last men on the Earth: The Last Chronicle. It contains knowledge of the history and achievements of mankind so it's invaluable for the leaders of the new human populations. The song begins with the exploration team landing on the ravaged Earth and finding the chamber of the artifact. When they open the chronicle, they are absorbed to visions of the wide range of cultures and history of the ancient Earth. I also hope you feel the same when listening to this song.

Here's some information about the ethnic instruments used in this song for anyone interested (some are not probably strictly related in corresponding cultures/areas):
3:03 Indian instruments - Sitar, Santoor, Sarod, Dilruba, Bansuri, Tablas, Indian bells
4:33 Chinese instruments - Guzheng, Yangqin, Erhu, Zhonghu, Taikos, Kettle drums
5:43 African instruments - Kalimba, Fula flute, Djembe, Bongos, Shakers
6:53 Arabic instruments - Oud, Tambura, Duduk, Ney, Middle-Eastern Strings, Dumbek, Darubaka, Riq
8:26 Celtic Instruments - Tin whistle, Low whistle, Uilleann Pipes, Celtic harp, Frame drums, Acoustic Guitars

And yes, the title is a bit silly but it probably describes the song the best way.
