Euxine Sea?? How old is that map?!

Euxine Sea?? How old is that map?!

Old enough to use the proper names?

Besides, Euxinos pontos is a nice euphemism; means 'good to strangers' sea (eu*+xenos), and alludes to the traitorous waters.

*obviously pronounced as 'eph', not as 'eww' like that thing

 

[Arakhor]

I know it means the Friendly Sea, but no one's called that in a long time.

I know it means the Friendly Sea, but no one's called that in a long time.

People with monocles do.

Supposedly by some kind of most used defining search word in google?

The lithuanian one is very boring. "Lithuanians are lithuanians". (see two nexts posts as well )

Belarus =!= Lithuania

 

[Kyriakos]

Belarus =!= Lithuania

Got me there. I suppose this supports the validity of the map

[Kyriakos]

Wild boars seem to stick to their prussian stomping grounds.

In the thumbnail version, that german dog looked more like La bête du Gévaudan

Any system in there about what is shuffled o_O?

Any information about the haplotype of the boars?

That image employs a Venn diagram consisting (presumably) of people who know about the Ohio purchase and the naming of Roman provinces. I can't imagine it's a particularly large diagram.
