Ancient maps, lost civilizations, and a mystery that defies history! The Piri Reis Map, created in 1513, shows incredible geographical accuracy—including the coast of Antarctica, which wasn’t officially discovered until 1820.

Where did this knowledge come from? Did ancient cartographers have access to forgotten history, or does this point to an even greater mystery?

The most common geographical evidence we have from ancient Rome are catalogs of places. Roman maps, to the extent that they existed at all, were almost certainly rare and expensive. Ordinary Romans would not have had access to them. Instead, Romans would have used itineraria, which are just what they sound like — lists of the places a traveler might encounter along a certain road. Many itineraria are catalogs of the milestones that the Roman government placed on its road network.

One of the more famous itineraries is found on a set of cups that were excavated in Vicarello; they describe the route from Cadiz, Spain to Rome.

In ancient Egypt, maps were not as developed or commonly used as they are in modern times. However, the ancient Egyptians did have a basic understanding of geography and utilized certain visual representations to depict their surroundings. These representations were not as detailed or accurate as modern maps but served specific purposes.

One type of map-like representation used in ancient Egypt was called a “topographical list” or “descriptive list.” These lists documented important landmarks, cities, temples, and natural features along with their distances and directions from one another. They were often inscribed on temple walls or tomb reliefs and served as guides for religious or funerary processions.

Another form of representation was the “land register” or “estate map.” These maps depicted agricultural lands, indicating boundaries, fields, canals, and other relevant features. They were primarily used for administrative purposes, such as taxation and land management.

Honeymoon pt.5 - Shaaloani

Aetherically, there are some striking differences; but in form alone the similarities to The Qitana Ravel are uncanny. That such ruins could exist both on the first and the source.... This has given me much to think about. Come, you two, let us freshen up and make camp before nightfall. Our adventures may continue tomorrow.

New update 27/09/24

The Captain of the Guard is playable!!! WOOOH! It was a big work, and currently only a very linear path is playable with the captain through Chapter 1, but I will add the rest of the choices later.

GOOD NEWS: It's the path that will definitely redeem poor Captain {instert-clever-insult} in the eyes of those who read the thief origin ❤️ So please give the captain a chance to do some good deeds to our resident little thief ✨✨✨

What the update includes:

Captain of the Theban Guard origin is playable! Lots of choices are still greyed out, but you can read through chapter 1 as the captain now.

16k words added to the demo, so that makes the total word count 185k.

I made a map! Well... I translated a map from my native language that I made ages ago for a similar book. It took me forever last week to find the English names for certain cities, and I'm not sure if some of them are correct or not but fuck it, it's good as it is. You can find the map in the Codex page in the Stats!

Did lots of bug and code fixes

Fixed some grammar and spelling errors

Next week, I'll add the missing choices in the captain route. Not sure if I'll have time to add all of them by the Friday update, but I'll try :)))

LINK TO DEMO

Hope you'll enjoy it! I'm especially interested to hear the opinion of those who've read the thief origin before 👀

i was thinking about regulus today, how he must have been a teenager, a boy. just a boy. so here’s fun facts about him

regulus wrote his door sign himself, so probably there was a day where he just decided to do this and put it up himself or get kreacher to help him, typical teenager behavior. harry thought this was something percy might do, reading harry pov always cracks me up and then the context is actually sad!!

he took pictures with his quidditch team and he was smiling with them, this shows us there was things that bought regulus joy

this is just him being a typical student hehe!!

grandeur means of high rank or of social importance and this implies his room looked like one. it also shows that sirius and regulus’ room were very different. it also says that regulus had the family motto “toujour pur” which means always pure, so someone painted that in his room when he was a child or it has always been there, intentionally placed. who made choices for his room decor? a teenager eager to please his parents or a mother who wanted to oversee the room decor, we’ll never know.

this is kreacher’s pov of how he views the situation!!

kreacher knowing regulus loved him, never doubting his love!!

what was regulus usually like? what do you think? does an 18 year old have a chance to discover all of his potential?

“his beloved regulus…”, “seeker who resembled sirius…” just kill me already!!

regulus never wanting his mother to know so she could be safe, even after how much she failed him, he loved her and wanted her safe!!

kreacher wearing the locket and fighting in the name of his beloved master!! they’re so precious :’(
