Have a look at your email.

Any reason not to share with the class?

None whatsoever. I will send you a copy.

Thanks.

Hating to be a pest, but where is Japan on the main map we are
discussing? India? Korea? Maylay Peninsula?

Is there a good (i.e.: non-spun) translation of the three-line note
next to the blob of interest?

How does the 'Java Magna', as Thompson has it, get turned into some
place in South America? On its face, it seems to me to be more
reasonably explained as part of Southeast Asia.

how about a scale bar, north arrow, etc, all those things associated with
cartography.

You don't get those on 'wheel' maps.

secondly, while it seems there are some eager to associate the
simularities, what of the differences? third, (and probably most
importantly) what has this to do with archaeology?

Perhaps that's the most important question in this thread. Though a
bit late, aren't you?
