Information Needed for East-Hem 200 AD map[edit]

1. Gedrosia: was it independant at this time, or was it directly part of the Parthian Empire?

2. Persia: though it was a vassal of Parthia, it was powerful enough for me to consider it a seperate kingdom. Are its borders on this map accurate?

3. West Africa: Did Ghana or any other state exist in West Africa in 200 AD?

4. India: There are a few nations whose borders and/or names are uncertain.

5. Indonesia and Southeast Asia: The info I have is incomplete, but what I do have is pictured on the map. Uncertainties are listed with a question mark (?).

6. Africa: information for East, Central, and South Africa wasn't available when I created this map. Any information on kingdoms or tribal placements would help!

7. Zhang-Zhung: I've never found a map of lands ruled by this pre-Tibetan kingdom.

8. Mongolia: I believe there were more tribes than what is currently listed, but I don't currently have any more information available.

If you have any info on these areas, or if you see any inaccuracies, please email them to me at talessman@yis.us, or post them to this page. Thomas Lessman 16:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xianbei missing from maps[edit]

Thank you for creating interesting maps on history. I have been using your maps in my article. But I can't find the Xianbei on your maps. The Xiongnu state was routed by the Xianbei in the 1st century CE. Can you please reflect the Xianbei on your map, so that I can use it in the corresponding section of the article History of Mongolia. Gantuya eng (talk) 09:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Funny you should mention my failure to include the Xianbei in my maps Gantuya eng, I just noticed it earlier this morning while working on the maps for 1 AD and 50 AD. My apologies and thank you for pointing that out! I'll check out the Xianbei article and include them on my next round of updates, probably in a week or so. Thank you.

Fractured China[edit]

Although Emperor Xian technically ruled China under the Han dynasty, he was a figurehead and nothing more. All the warlords were virtually independent, and at the very least should be marked with dotted lines -- http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=china200fe8.png is a ROUGH estimate of the boundaries at the time. -- DragonAtma —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.150.123 (talk) 06:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Khoisan farmers???[edit]

Khoisan peoples never farmed. They were hunter-gatherers, some (much later) adopted pastoralist lifestyles. Agriculture was introduced to southern Africa by Bantu peoples later. 78.29.170.229 (talk) 17:40, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
