The Historical Atlas of the Mediterranean
OP - March 20, 2012, 02:43 PM

This is my website, it is an interactive historical atlas of the Mediterranean. You can click on the cities and battles on the maps to see pictures and link to wikipedia articles. Some of the maps are also interactive in that you can click on different dates to see the map update. Below each map there is some text that explains the events that were occurring at the time.

With specific reference to Islam, there are many maps on there:

Muhammad's Conquest of Arabia

The Islamic Conquests of the rest of the Mediterranean World and Persia

Saracens Raids in the Mediterranean and the Christian Recovery (800-1100 AD)

The Crusades in the Holy Land

Islamic Spain and the Reconquista

There is also a map on the Rise of Christianity.

And if you are interested in Paganism, there is a map of the religious sanctuaries of Ancient Greece.

I would consider the site to be a great resource on ancient and Medieval history, one day I would like to have the site translated into Arabic.

Let me know what you guys think and enjoy!

Lol, yes the quizzes on the site I did years ago. Some of them are a bit silly and aimed at kids really.

Well if you guys like that site, then maybe you will like my other website too: ChronoAtlas.com. It is a fully interactive historical atlas of the world based on user contributions. You can zoom to any date and place in the world and see boundaries of historical nations and clickable images of historical places and events.

Let me know what you think and also please forward to anyone else that might be interested.
