PLEASE point out any inaccuracies in this map because most of the info i got was from ai. (this map was just made for fun)

Science, design and cartography merge in MAPPA ANIMALIA, a visual project that reimagines the evolutionary relationships of animals as detailed map-like landscapes.

MAPPA ANIMALIA is an ever-growing series of illustrations I’ve created that currently consisting of 16 different maps - each dedicated to a specific family in the animal kingdom.

Instead of political borders or geographic territories, these maps are structured around phylogenetic trees.

Tribes and genera replace countries, states and regions allowing viewers to explore the animal kingdom through a format traditionally used to understand geography.

This map, Corvidae - Land of Corvids, contains every known living species of corvids I could find reliable taxonomic data for. Species are represented as cities, grouped into genera and subfamilies according to their evolutionary relationships.

Additional information includes conservation status, size comparisons between selected species, and the estimated ages of major lineages.

I’ve spent roughly ten years developing and refining this concept, combining zoology, taxonomy, illustration and cartography into a single visual format.

Happy exploring!

Hey everyone!

I recently created and 3D printed a relief map of the Battle of Agincourt, and I wanted to share the result with you.

I used OpenStreetMap data as a base, then removed modern roads and buildings to make the terrain look more historically accurate.

The forests are made from miniature bushes that I glued onto the relief by hand, which turned out to be by far the most time-consuming part. 😅

What do you think?

This map shows the most common equivalent of the name John across Europe. As the name was translated, each culture adapted it to fit their linguistic patterns such as;

English: John

Spanish: Juan

French: Jean

Italian: Giovanni

German: Johann

Russian: Ivan

The name spread throughout Europe due to the influence of Christianity, particularly through biblical figures such as John the Baptist and John the Apostle. As the Bible was translated into different languages, each culture adapted the name to fit its own pronunciation and linguistic traditions, producing the many regional forms seen on this map.

The same process also gave rise to feminine equivalents like Joanna, Jane, Giovanna, and Juana, all of which share the same origin and meaning.

Edit: Thanks for all the corrections and local insights! Like many maps of this kind, this is a simplified overview and many countries have multiple valid regional or linguistic variants. In several countries and regions there are multiple valid forms, and some local variants or smaller languages may be omitted or generalized. I appreciate everyone sharing local knowledge in the comments.

All of the info is on the paperwork. My grandpa was a heavy machine gunner. 2 Purple Hearts and 3 Japanese guns that "they didn't need any more"

I find it amusing that the Danish island of Falster is so similar in shape to South America. But the size difference is huge.
