The Andronovo Culture. Posted this map earlier on my main, however here is a clearer version. What is interesting to me is the distribution pattern along the Tian-Shan, definetly related to the fact that Andronovans were in search of Tin and Copper.

I wasn't able to find enough on Tazabagyab unfortunately, so it isn't included in the map.

Both twitter accounts have been temporarily privated due to a sudden unwarranted botnet on twitter going crazy. You might have noticed that the maptismcontact account somehow has 25k followers now, which is definetly not organic and does not correspond to actual engagement.

The Abashevo Culture, 2300-1800bc
Descended from the Balanovo Variant of the Corded Ware Culture, this Culture counts itself as one of the Ancestors of Andronovo and Sintashta. Though it mostly derived from Eastern Corded Ware, it also shares some similarities with Bell Beaker.

A Intermediary Ancestor of Indo-Iranics.

Various Corded Ware supplementaries

Two updates:

- The Maptism Atlas of Germanic Tribes has been ~90% ported to After Effects, sourced labels included.

- Wales is gone 🍻

This is the first animation using a custom basemap, meaning historical variants and superior projections are now a possibility. Preview is labeled correctly but still missing some subgroups.

Thread soon.
