Designer/Cartographer: Neil and Charley of Puca Printhouse.
Topic/Area: This map focuses on the major deities of ancient Egyptian mythology, showcasing their locations of worship and also highlighting some lesser-known figures. It covers the entire geographical area of ancient Egypt, with the Nile River running prominently down the center.
Style: The map has a vibrant and playful hand-drawn style, full of illustrations. Text is used sparingly but effectively, only for god/goddess names.
What I loved: -The playful visuals and vibrant colors bring the map to life, making it visually appealing and engaging for viewers of all ages. Each god and goddess is instantly recognizable. -The map offers valuable information about Egyptian mythology. The placement of deities aligns with their major cult centers.
What could be better: -Name of the cities/areas could be added using a different typeface of font colour to give more information. -A digital version of the map with clickable icons or hover-over text bubbles for additional information and making it even more engaging. This could allow viewers to access deeper information directly on the map.

What I loved: -The illustrations' ability to depict the history and culture of the towns and their people is truly fascinating. -The use of limited colours in the illustrative map creates this visual harmony. -At first glance, the map might seem overwhelming, but when you zoom in it reveals a lot of interesting facts and names of these small towns and places that you otherwise would have missed.
