Maps intrigue us, perhaps none more than those that ignore mapping conventions.
the Bedolina Map
The Rock 1 of Bedolina, the so-called Bedolina Map, is a famous engraved prehistoric rock which is part of the Camonica valley (Alps, Italian side, Lombardy region) petroglyph complex. It is known as being one of the most ancient topographic maps, interpreted as the depiction of cultivated plots, mountain paths and villages.
This ancient map reminds me of work by my friend, artist Annie Abdalla: http://www.annieabdalla.com/mapping/
