    Loves me some old school, looking forward to this as I can already see where it's going...and looking awesome to boot.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    So, some more work (cause the map is pretty much already done...kinda), and here is the map so far. Soon I will color it all in, with Pencil Crayons.

    Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice!

    So, I am finished with the map, now I just need to color it

    So a little info about what I am doing here.

    Did a little research on Mayan glyphs. They are written in Pairs, and read as shown below.

    Additionally, I copied some of the Glyphs, others I made up, and some I changed up from originals.

    Finally, the script on the right, the CITY/TOWN symbols match the map, and the large icons are to represent the chief Deity worshiped there.

    From top to bottom:

    The first two I made up the Symbol as I hadn't hit on this idea yet

    Third is a Version of Everyone's most wellknown God: Quezalcoatl.

    Fourth, is a stylized version of Tlaloc, or the Rain God.

    5th is Xiuhtecuhtli, Personification of Life after Death, Warmth in Cold, etc. Basically a Duality God.

    6th is finally another rendition of Quetzalcoatl.
