The question's been reopened so the link's no longer needed (the caps lock was never needed in the first place and I'm amazed nobody edited it out)

| May 11, 2020 at 17:56 | comment | added | Brian Z | Here is a tutorial that might help you start learning to make such a map in QGIS. Even then, you may not find the layers you need readily available. Unfortunately I don't think you will find an existing, easy online tool to automagically design the map you want. | |

| May 10, 2020 at 16:38 | comment | added | Yulia V | I have been able to vote to reopen my question. Is this how it is should be? | |
| May 10, 2020 at 11:44 | comment | added | Tom Au | @DenisdeBernardy: I have voted to reopen, and you seem to be in that camp. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 11:43 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @TomAu - I would be happy to cast the fifth vote. need help from three more participants | |
| May 10, 2020 at 11:42 | comment | added | Tom Au | @MarkC.Wallace: In your shoes (on another site), I would wait for four other votes, and cast the fifth so that my vote counts for one, and not for five. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 11:41 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @TomAu I'm reluctant to use the diamond to reopen a question - I was hoping the community would. Anyone who upvoted, please vote to reopen. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 8:15 | comment | added | Tom Au | This question is linked to, and expands on, a highly active question on the site. More to the point, I believe that it at least relates to "historiography," if not history itself. It deserves to be reopened, IMHO. | |

| Mar 4, 2020 at 17:53 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | As I guess this is now more of general question into the 'howto area' regarding methods to use, perhaps for your initial request chronas.org might be still be useful? | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 16:32 | comment | added | Yulia V | @LаngLаngС: to have some basic visuals. Political boundaries + locations of the capitals would be enough. The best I had found on wiki was the combination of 2 maps, without Caria's boundaries: yu51a5.com/cyrus-cylinder | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 11:57 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | Those maps and mapping tools do exist in various forms. But here we miss the crucial element of "for what, exactly". Old geography, old political boundaries, old settlement patterns, roads etc? Maps are always reductions of reality. Not all might be useful to you or what you look for specifically might not have been done yet. | |

| Mar 2, 2020 at 22:06 | comment | added | Jurp | @T.E.D. Good point about copyright. At the very least, you'd have to insert a "Copyright © 2011 - geacron.com." directly underneath the map. | |

| Mar 2, 2020 at 20:59 | comment | added | Luiz | the historical research is limited and sometimes wrong, the criteria for what is a country is debatable, small countries may be fully omitted, it is inaccurate as the borders are discretized in fixed provinces, but you can get a Europa Universalis IV game, change the start date to any date between 1466 and 1820, and you get a world map with country borders. But If you want to have an approximate interactive display of how some borders changed over time, it may be enough. My child relatives loved that map. And It may be more detailed than Geocron in some regions (i.e. no single blob HRE). | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 20:54 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | @Jurp - Note that if you use that non-premium tool to generate a map, its quite possible you legally aren't allowed to share that map with anyone. I can't find anything on their site about copyright for generated maps, and their website itself just says "all rights reserved". | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 20:17 | comment | added | Jurp | The non-premium geocron tool may give you what you're looking for (the first time you enter a date, a "buy the premium version" box opens. Just close it to use the non-premium version). | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 19:51 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | Very skeptical, but if there is such a thing, I'd love to know about it for my own personal research as well. | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 19:43 | comment | added | Santiago | Maybe geacron.com/home-en already has it. They have a premium tool that I have not tried (sus.geacron.com/map/atlas/php/table_vsNEW.html). | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 19:39 | comment | added | MCW♦ | It is a compliment. | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 19:35 | comment | added | Yulia V | @MarkC.Wallace sorry English is my 3rd language: is it a compliment or a reprimand? :) | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 19:29 | comment | added | MCW♦ | Deceptively interesting question. Is there a GIS tool that can do this? a GIS that works in time and space? | |
