Let's get some historical maps in here.
I love map threads. Here's a map I saved yesterday, showing proposed expansion of Finno-Ugric speakers.

>Lebannon was a Christian majority country until the 1940's
>>2868909
>Camolodunum
Ok, we've found Cameloth
>>2869198
This has always seemed obvious to me but it's far from widely accepted. Colchester is perfectly positioned to be capital for a warlord resisting the early English kingdoms of East Anglia and Kent / Sussex, as well as having a suspiciously similar name.

Map of Prehistoric archaeological sites of Sardinia. I had to put in on MEGA because it's an image of over 22mb (5342x9812). While still incomplete, is probably the best around.
Pic related it's a shit-quality version, pretty much a thumbnail.
The interactive version is even more updated, and has way more data (also you can change the language to English):
http://nurnet.crs4.it/nurnetgeo/
Android app for the interactive map:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cordand.nurmap
The legend of the image is in Italian. Translation:
Nuraghe monotorre = Monotower Nuraghe
Nuraghe monotorre sito non verificato = Monotower Nuraghe, non verified site
Nuraghe a corridoio = Protonuraghe/Corridor nuraghe
Nuraghe complesso = Polylobed Nuraghe or a Tancato nuraghe
Dolmen = Dolmen
Domus de Janas = Domus de Janas
Tombe dei Giganti = Giant's Tomb/Grave (Sardinian megalithic gallery grave)
Menhir = Menhir
Villages = Villages
Pozzo sacro = Sacred well
Culto dell'acqua = Water cult Temples or structures in general
Fontana sacra = Sacred fountain
Unicum = Unicum (something that is unique and doesn't belong to any category)
Grotte tafoni = Ancients tombs inside Tafoni
>>2869327
>Dolmen = Dolmen
Thanks for translating this bro, I was really confused!

Nationalism was a terrible, terrible mistake.
>>2870333
Bukovina/Maramures was a mistake. Should've let the hohols have you if you love them so much you fucking inbred peasants.
>>2868909
I vastly prefer actual old maps to modern maps depicting older periods.
Largely because I'm a linguistics geek and place names, spelling, and conventions evolving over time make me wet.
Pic related, where I'm from.
>>2870901
I like both but old maps do have a special charm
>>2870574
intersting stuff, m8
I love this one. You can see the extent of Slavic settlement in some of these.
Ok I'm dumping my maps folder
>>2871001
whoops sorry don't know why that pic's in there
continued...
>>2870991
Here's the full map, not much different but maybe there's people out there who are like me and prefer the original
>>2871009
much appreciated
This'll be my last one - The 4MB rule eliminates half my folder
>>2871032
I feel you, I've got a few maps that are 100MB+ in size. A lot that are just a bit over the limit, too.

Odenburg democratically voted to stay with Hungary. Its literally the only region in the treaty of trianon which was allowed to choose where it wants to stay. Its so strange that there are people who are butthurt about it.
Austria didn't have any right to Burgerland anyway.

>comic sans
I can't take this map seriously.
>>2870956
what're the slavic ones?
-itz and -ow?
>>2872978
-au (as the Germanised version of -ow), -hau (basically the same thing), -in, itz and -ow. You can see the patterns of Slavic settlement through some of the German forms, too.
>>2869074

>It is basically established that if there was an Arthur figure he would have been based in more western areas.
This isn't established at all, it's inferred because most of the Welsh myths about Arthur are in the west. but guess what, Wales is in the west, so naturally they would localize their greatest hero in the region they live in. In terms of historicity, Colchester is perfectly positioned between the two areas of early English settlement and was a Celtic city long after the areas around it had been lost to the English.

Nothing strange about this, it's just a map of the Americas with Argentina distorted because the parchment is an odd shape.

I thought that was the modern Arabic word for Egypt.
>>2874085
No it's a very ancient term, it's used in the Bible too.
>>2874082
Santiago, no, since it's one specific saint. But San/Santo [...] is extremely common. Basically 90% of towns there are named after a christian saint.

As someone who was reading pulp before he got into history I'll never get over Scythians and Cimmerians actually being real.
>>2877463

In what pulp fiction those appeared, because as far as I remember Cimmerians are related to Conan?
>>2877474

Herodotus never made any map, this is a map drawn by some LARPer based on what he THINKS Herodotus thought the world looked like
>>2878391
thats a really simply version of that map, others include islands like sicily
i did say it was shitty
>>2878391
The islands oare clearly omitted. Greeks had colonies in Sicily at the time and yes, also in Iberia.

I'd guess it was a fairly common Greek colony name.

-au is German for "wet meadow". So there must be some huge overlap with the slavic -ow
Another bump
>>2883684
I'm from a village ending on -au and there weren't any slavs there for the last 750+ years.

Does anyone have source for this? It's pretty interesting if it's true.
>>2883616
I wonder how much of an effect this had on the genetic footprint of the affected regions.
>>2883684
>>2883945
If it's a village inside the area of Slavic settlement, there's a high chance it comes from a Slavic name (the border of the Slavic settlement in eastern Germany is clearly visible on the map). And as a matter of fact, Slavic tribes settled those lands around the 7th century before colonisation from the west.

Galicia had to be colonised in the 9th century since the suebi had been expelled by the visigoths. Think of the Christian kingdoms of 9th century Spain, very devoted christians, so basically every settlement was called after a saint. Also add that Santiago is one of the few Christian holy sites that was left at the time.
