I don't know myself but given the presence of Saadi control over Timbuktu, it has to be between 1590s and 1620s.

If you used Discord as an image host, they've changed it so that the links to images update every so often, and it breaks any image posted outside the website (image links inside the discord app/website update automatically when the link changes)

Yeah, I used discord. That's too bad cuz not all these images would fit here otherwize and some are too detailed to try and drop their quality to fit it here. Later, I'll download and upload here directly the maps that can fit.

You could screen shot and split the larger pictures by cropping them to fit here, might be a bit of work though since I'm basing the process of doing that off of how I would've done it on MS Paint 14years ago lol

@PecuTheGreat Assyrian tribes map from page 7 isn't there anymore.

Yeah, its like the apocalypse over there. Most of it is deadlinks now. Uh.

But anyways, I've changed my mind. I won't go and replace all the broken links. Way too much for the amount of time I now have. If someone requests a map I can still find elsewhere that's now broken, I'll drop it.
