Atlas of True Names: World Map (2008) from Kalimedia (click to enlarge) |
But what do the names mean? Stephan Hormes and Silke Puest at Kalimedia have created a wonderful series of maps they call an "Atlas of True Names." They've replaced place-names like Reykjavik and and Washington with their true meanings, "Smoky Place" and "Marshton." The Atlantic Ocean becomes "World Stream by the Mountain of Mountains." Portugal is "Warm Port."
