Finding good historical basemaps for the shoreline of the Aral seems especially tricky, at least in my experience....
This was the best I could do, although they DO come from a scientific paperThese are awesome.
Sorry, I'm leaving that to the experts on the Q-Bam Geographic Maps Thread which I know you're already aware of.
Do you have a compiled list of all the sources for each patch? That'd be helpful for some of the smaller details
Danube Delta - Wikipedia
I've added this onto the patches and the maps 602BC-500ADI have been using a patch I made for the danube delta for a few of my ancient maps. It's relatively small patches (I have not done nearly as extensive research compared to other patches made) but I figure this is relevantDanube Delta - Wikipedia

These are absolutely amazing!
One request though: Could you compile absolutely all of your sources into a big google document or something alike? I'd think people would want to add coastal changes to their own blank maps, so it would be amazing to have this as a source, thanks!
(Sidenote: is the Rann actually a sea? From what I've read it seems to be a saltflat so I don't know if it can be counted and showed as one.)

Hi There,
I have several gigs of data, far too much to upload. If anyone wants data feel free to ask.
Regarding Rann, until an earthquake in 1819 changed the topography slightly the area had enough ingress of sea water plus river inflow to allow it to be classified as sea, since then it is fed by mostly rainfall and is mostly salt marsh with a few shrinking "lakes"
Well it would be helpful to a lot of world maps if you made a drive with all of your data and as I work on Examap, I would like to have access to these coastal changes.
The Rann fact is quite interesting. Thanks!
Hey @Bob Hope do you have your map key for the rivers? I'd like to use it as a secondary-followup project alongside the river basins map
You're welcome to whatever I have but it's based on your work plus my older maps
What exactly do you need
Good catch, I adapted this from @Drex 's map, I'll make an adjusting patch
There was a map key that I thought I saw you make that had different levels of river colors, where major rivers were one shade of blue, their tributaries were another, etc. You may not have made it but I'm fairly certain you did
