Map Room Ramblings | Atlas Altera

Renaming the World - Toponyms


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue to do a general overview of Atlas Altera, focusing on the overall logic used for toponyms. Other topics covered: obscure historical references to people like the Macrobians and Jaga, Germany as an exonym, Polish Sarmatism, Nahuatl locative suffixes, the Inca Road system and the Chinese dao or "circuit" as an administrative system, exporting Sanskrit to Papua and Australia, as well as the the Ossetian connection in the Carpathians, and the Yeniseian link to the Navajo and the Huns. Tired of learning geography and history in an uninspired world? Atlas Altera is a creative exercise that repaints the world while going hardcore on real geography, anthropology, linguistics, and history.
