Map on page 22

  1. Houses
  2. lake/river
  3. animals
  4. heads on the outside/around
  5. map is rounded (like the earth)
  6. There are flowers and trees
  7. words on the maps indicate location of places or things on the map
  8. there are words below the map that maybe describe the map. These words are maybe in Latin
  9. the river that is within the map is connected around with all the different Body of water and the surrounding water that is shaped in a circle around the land
  10. one of the buildings has a cloud/starts with the water source/has a water source flowing through it
  11. Red triangle thing <– “Tear” on the map
  12. The map has “Holes” that the water flows through
  13. Maybe the map’s writing was written in Latin
  14. color pallet of blue, yellow, and red
  15. Medium sized map
  16. all pictures and labeling are cartoon like
  17. the map tells a story while also geographically mapping out the area
  18. Map contains 1 large island vs the mini islands in the water that surround the large one

Expanding on point 11

The red gash that tears the circle in the middle of the map and breaks the circl’es flow maybe is the Red sea. The discription below on the bottom of the map says “Europe” and “Africa” in maybe the language Latin, which one can infer that this is Europe. Becuase the Red Sea is in Europe and all the water around the island and that flows within the land connects to this large gash of red that tears through the circle (which is infered to be the land) can be though of as the red sea. There are also inslands that are ontop of the red gash symbolizing that it could be a body of water and because it is colered different than all of the other bodies of water on the map, it could symbolize the red sea.
