Alternative version with much less fictional urban sprawl. Both illustrations were made by Rocío Espín Piñar.

Here's a brief account on the history of the myth (including some passages from Plato), which has survived and thrived for two and a half millennia.

EDIT: Hello everyone! Welcome to /r/papertowns! I didn't expect this to blow up to the second page of /r/all. It's already the most upvoted papertown ever, only 4 hours after posting it. We've got many gorgeous illustrated maps here, so go on and explore the sub to see for yourself, hope you'll enjoy! (Check the sidebar for some quick examples of what you can find here.)

Actually read a book recently that covered roman slums, although it was specifically about the city of Rome. Not sure how true this is outside Rome itself.

Any 3-4 story building (besides temples, gov offices etc) would be an insulae, an apartment building. Even within an insulae there would be lots of class variation. The lower floors were classier (don't have to carry water up that many flights of stairs). The attic was hellish, basically just privacy screens sectioning everyone off

In Rome illegal & shoddy construction was common, so were fires + collapses

Good eye Sexy Satan! I can't definitely confirm, but that looks very likely! A horse drawn version, at least

No need to wonder, here it is on google maps.

The 3D option is getting better all the time. I only recently found out that you can free rotate by holding down the Ctrl button and moving your mouse to get the exact angle you want.

People often laugh at Bing but they have a feature called "birds eye view" which not many people know about. It's aerial photography from multiple angles (different flyovers) as opposed to satellite view. Same location for example. (Note the rotation option on the right beside the zoom in and out buttons)

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called Mohenjo Daro, here are some Trailers

Amazon Prime has a documentary on this place that I thought was pretty good. It details the rise and fall of the city over three or four centuries.

Good spot, any idea what all those small buildings are near the hippodrome outline? Could they be houses or is it more likely that they are graves/burial chambers?

There's also some ruins on that small uninhabited island but not sure where it would match up on the drawing...

Also, for comparison don't forget that bing maps still exists :) https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=05866e27-95a8-440f-8a25-1bd054b5d674&cp=27.807808~30.881995&lvl=16&style=h&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

(I know people like to make fun of bing but they provide other satellite photography and in some cities they have "birds eye view" photography from planes at 4 different angles.)

Thank You for this picture.

I am currently reading a history of Venice, and the author mentioned Calicut in the current chapter I'm reading!

Guayaquil and Puna island, 1633. Same map, but slightly different, from 1655 apparently.

The creative director Daniel Vavra is supposedly a Nazi or at least a sympathizer. He even wore a t-shirt of the Czech Nazi band Buzum at some press event.

There was a big stink about the fact that non-white people aren't represented in the game when it was released.

This looks like a straight up rip off of The Little House, a book written 37 years prior. The illustrations in the book are nearly identical in content and tell the same story. This had to be plagiarized knowingly.

I'm not sure I know of any I could recommend on Etowah itself, but a great guide to the major settlements of Mississippian Culture (etowah is included) is Mound Sites of the Ancient South: A Guide to the Mississippian Chiefdoms. This gives you a great overview at was happening in the Mississippian world, and has a great further reading section too.

The Library of Congress, USA has the original copy gifted to them, not sure if that helps.

In Nick Offerman's book Gumption (at least I think that was the book) he talks about the story behind Central Park, the people who championed it, how it was built. It's a really interesting piece of history.
