Bonus map: Pomerania in antiquity.
Showing tribes & tribal confederations according to Tacitus, Ptolemy & Pliny the Elder by mapping their stated geographical identifiers such as "between the rivers of..." or "on the coast of...".
Just cause I felt like doing a quick one without modern, academic citations (beyond citing 3 primary authors). Keep in mind this is my own interpretation based on the reading, you will absolutely find maps online that show these lines differently, contradicting me & each other. It's in the nature of the vagueness of these authors.
This took 4 days to make so I hope at least somebody will like it: Pomerania in 4 Historical Timestamps. I usually wrote all the info into tweets but here everything is given on the images themselves... Image 1 is all 4 separately, image 2 is a superposition of those 4 maps together. Afterwards I will put all 4 maps as individual images. With this upload I also want to make clear that I'll probably redo my older maps to meet the standard set here, so expect me to delete old stuff & repost overhauled versions...

There is a cat inside a Dalek. Cat’s controlling Daleks makes sense. https://en.osm.town/@karlos/110652052135432926
