I like how visible the Rhine is. Cool map otherwise too.

Guys I am terrible at rivers. Most of the maps I view show rivers as an afterthought only. What I'd really like is a world map that highlights rivers according to size. So at a glance the really huge rivers of the world like the Amazon or Congo would be one colour, the Danube or the Colorado river a different colour, and so on. Does anyone know of anything remotely like this? This is fun:

Since this is the pedantic map thread, Mexico is part of North America. Unless you mean Norteamericano as some Latin Americans use it to mean Canadians and Americans. Although now I’m curious if the mound builders or any of the other major Us/Canadian pre Columbian civilizations did human sacrifice. Probably yes but probably also not as much of an industrialized slaughter that the Aztecs turned into an art form. Saladman fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jul 16, 2018 |

I can see the borders of Poland-Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire on that map. Neat. Somewhat related, here's a map of notable languages and alphabets printed in 1710 near Nürnberg. Europe  Africa  Asia

Weird how English gets Anglo-Saxon, most of the other ones get their contemporary language I think. Noticed Greece gets both Ancient Greek and "Graeca Barbara" in Anatolia, which looks like it's Demotic.

That "writing" in Japan is just gibberish, right? Also, seems like anywhere that's steppe or wasteland in Asia was just called Scythia.

Negrostrike posted:That "writing" in Japan is just gibberish, right? It might be supposed to be this script. It's an Indian script that was introduced through Buddhist texts around 800 AD. It's still used by a few Buddhist sects in Japan. The bit of text just below Japan seems to say that it's written using a "Brahmanic method".

so that means I can be a cheapskate and post about posting instead of having some wit or spending any more on comedy avs for people. Which I'm also incapable of. Comedy.

steinrokkan posted:Look up what Pilsner means. ... named after Pilsner, the city in what is now Czech Republic which was once heavily populated by ethnic Germans? And the first modern Pilsner was made by a Bavarian brewer? That seems to match exactly what Retarded Goatee was talking about, i.e. that Pilsner is from the Germans.
