covering 30 centuries in the Antiquity are available online. There is
one map for each century and the collection allows an easy overview of
the ancient countries from 3300 BC until 300 BC according to the
“official“ chronology.
This historical atlas was realized in German by Dr Andreas Birken and
you will find a full version in the Euratlas Shop. In this full version
you can read a discussion of the problems of chronology of the ancient
Orient; alternatives are shown.
