Map of World Mythology by Simon E. Davies
The Map of World Mythology, by Simon E. Davies, shows who believes what across the world. Check it out for a tour through the human imagination!
If you’re like me, you’re likely fascinated by how much diversity there is in what people believe. How can there be so many gods and goddesses in the world? How can belief be so different depending on where you go?
The world is full of mythological beings. The luck dragons of China. The thunderbird of the indigenous peoples of North America. The yeti of the Himalayas. Every world culture has come up with its own myths, and filled it with fantastic beings. It’s an incredible testament to the human imagination.
In map below, Simon E. Davies shows where the gods, goddesses and mythological beings live. (Davies is the artist behind The Evolutionary Tree of Religion—he runs the Human Odyssey Facebook group.)
