@xruiztru Pretty cool map. But I don’t see how something like Mali or Zimbabwe is considered ancient

[Global Explorer @GlobalExplorerx]

@xruiztru Yup. I'm also pretty sure their population was smaller than their rivals, but not having borders to defend gave them a huge advantage

Found these old 1912 maps from a book

I find it funny that it shows England slaying the dragon, and then the second page shows King Edward (English king) showing his son, the first prince of Wales

Circa in 1700 BC - a rich visual art arose in the Nordic region. The most common motif was the ship. On one of the two ceremonial swords from Rørby in West Zealand. Later the depictions became more abstract as shown.

@cartographer_s Reminds me of mount and blade fire and sword

@AddictMap It's cool how you can see the reclaimed land
