So the source for that appears to be
http://www.ggdc.net/maddison/oriindex.htm
"Statistics on World Population, GDP and Per Capita GDP, 1-2008 AD" but I can't find the methodology used. It is definitely an interesting spreadsheet to look through.

Maddison is garbage source for anything pre 1800s, FWIW. His all "data" before 1800s is completely made up. See
