How in the world do you keep pumping out insane quizzes like this? 5 stars (although I only got 10)

Thanks! I've been making history-related quizzes for a few years now, so I kinda just know where to look for the data and can dedicate a lot of my time to making the maps.

Thanks! Beirut (Beruta) is on the dataset for Canaan with 3,700 inhabitants, so it doesn't make the cut-off mark of 5,000.

Good quiz. How did you learn to make maps?

Thanks! I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to mapping SVGs, though getting the hang of things and drawing the way I do now took a few years. Here is a comparison of the difference four years can make (Both are maps of Europe in 1000 AD).
