Geography general: A thread for maps, cartography, GIS, human geography, historical geography, cultural geography, regional geography, critical geography, pomo geography, if it involves space and place and maps it's all fair game
>tfw haven't read a geography textbook that doesn't begin with "environmental determinism is pure evil"
It's a valid fucking explanation, not a "racist eurocentric discourse".
how does i into mapping?

what's the deal with those people? who they were?
>>407660
All of the continents look really weird but at least the Mediterranean is somewhat accurate.
>>407679
I don't know, but I was reading Herodotus and he described a people called the 'Androphagi' which were a group related to the broader Scythian culture.
So perhaps another related group?

Here's a link to a map made in 1778 for a book called Oryctographia Carniolica by Balthasar Hacquet: http://biblio.unibe.ch/web-apps/mapsV3/lightbox.php?col=ryh&pic=Ryh_4608_14&col=ryh&locale=de

To be honest, some great maps have been made in paint.net.

I was going to mention GIMP and p.net since they're both free, but yeah, paint.net is another free software with good functionality that is incredibly easy to use.

Here's a big-ass map of the Duchy of Carniola, made in 1843. Sorry I couldn't put a picture on here - the image is vastly too big for 4chan - 125MB. I image to the left also shows the Duchy of Carniola, this one shows its subdivisions

Sorry I spilled coffee over this one.
What's a good website for uploading images from 4MB to 130MB in size? Anything up to 100MB would be great.

Very funny, faggot. Here's more Carniola for you.
>>415064
Yeah, that's not really an option since that's only 1MB more, and my images are mostly all over 10MB anyway.

This map was over 3000 years ago

its about the route the Germans used into hollow earth during and after WW2. Also shown is the Antarctic U boat base.
>>409585
this is real though. The Germans explored the Arctic for the last time in 1939. This is a map of the territory they claimed.

Are you saying that a woman can grab an Aurochs bull by the horns? It is clearly metaphorical, a woman couldn't grab a normal bull by the horns without being gored.
If it is metaphorical, therefore it implies a message, seeing that the Minoans were a maritime power, then we can deduce they had an advanced understanding of the sea and its geography.
pic related is a map of the spread of Minoan mtDNA

Furthermore, pic related is from 4000BC in Sardinia. Clearly it is related to ancient Sumeria, this map >>415091, clearly shows the bull leaper being thrown over from Mesopotamia.

In author's "defence", he also made Scotland an island.

Also, the map was made in a time when the only sources were older maps and own observations. And they didn't have satellites back then. They had their ways (drawing lines between two positions), but that led to squiggly lines that can be observed in the above map.
>>417324
Naval maps were really fucking accurate though
>>417340
I don't know what the cartographer's way of drawing the map was, but I agree with you. Piri Reis comes to mind. Medieval maps were extremely accurate for the time but there were always exceptions. I presume he based it off an old, imperfect map.
Still, the author of the above map (Pietro Coppo) made some great, accurate maps of Istria.
>>417379

It really disturbs me sometimes that old maps can be so insanely accurate sometimes.

Here's an interesting article on this topic: http://discovermagazine.com/2014/june/14-the-mapmakers-mystery. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a website where someone went in-depth on how the cartographers back then worked.

And I'm pretty sure Christianity is more popular than animism in Africa.

It's about civilization/culture rather than just religion, though then again it's not like there's any unified African culture.

Here are some good free resources.

and if you want t contribute to projects with OSM that's a good way to learn.

Currently reading American Nations by Colin Woodward. It's pretty convincing so far.

I sort of "get" why I was taught how environmental determinism is bad - it was the geography of racists and colonialists who made very broad holistic and inaccurate assessments of entire regions. Hell the father of modern geography literally designed the concentration/death camp system for the Nazis so it could most efficiently gas Jews. It is literally a discourse of social Darwinism that, while appealing to some misanthropes, does not have any answers to why or how things really are besides "muh conditioning!".
Modern geography is a serious science, as opposed to an antiquated field of British guys in pith helmets talking out their asses about places and people they literally have never met in person. Most old geography textbooks are one dimensional descriptions of places, and don't go any deeper into the intricacies that make up a region.
That said, I agree with any geography students here who feel the SJW feminist marxist shit is annoying. I had a human geography professor straight up tell us she thought the author of our book was obnoxious about "post capitalist feminist discourses" and told us to take everything we read with a grain of salt. You are free to pick and choose what parts you want to believe; don't let one guy's rant about "muh trans african feminist geography is the only geography" get you thinking everyone in geography is crazy. There will always be multiple narratives, some more radical than others - and they all coexist even if they are contradictory because each serves a specific purpose.
Treat the discourses like ice cream; there are many flavors, some bland and some delicious, you should try them all but dont eat them all at once. Fuck fruit flavored ice cream and vanilla with shit in it. Its still fucking vanilla but with shit in it which is shit.
Or just go straight GIS and learn to hate ESRI because fuck arcMap
