CompassionateCynic on January 15, 2026 3:25 pm I love the reference to the “bag” being held in Mesopotamia, what does the symbol in the Amazon represent?
DiscordantObserver on January 15, 2026 3:29 pm Yo! That looks sick, very clean work! As a fan of woodworking, this is just awesome to me! Good job!
CosmicEggEarth on January 15, 2026 4:28 pm Gorgeous!!! I’ve played with this idea too (maps of old coasts), but in digital. This is not only tangible and also pleasant aesthetically, it is so awesome! I like the attention to details, the trident on the sail… is it drakkar?? https://preview.redd.it/v9ajukcihjdg1.png?width=5207&format=png&auto=webp&s=075816b80c852098bfc72a1978a4aed5f359421e

therealashura on January 15, 2026 5:55 pm This is beautiful! I did something similar but using Inkarnate https://preview.redd.it/my3jd8aayjdg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=b80a9aa431ed2cba777fc723ad3a73563de1ccc3
Sinefiasmenos22 on January 15, 2026 6:11 pm It is beautiful , I also tend to believe that Atlantis was in Azores. It makes more sense to me.
Mikeyjf on January 15, 2026 7:22 pm Love the map but I’m pretty sure New Zealand existed 12k years ago.
Cautious_Chipmunk_65 on January 17, 2026 1:17 am Love this. Would there not be more coastline if sea levels were lower? Just thinking about Graham Hancocks suggestions in and around the Indian Ocean.
