I've followed Anton's progress over the past 4 years and I'm in awe of his artistic skill and execution of this mammoth project. I now have one of his limited editions on my wall, it is truly awesome.

[@jovannib2913]

I could look at this map all day and feel nostalgia.

[@KathyPlourde]

What a wonderful creation... I'd love to get one

[@atlasobscura]

It looks like you can get North America prints from Anton's shop! www.antonthomasart.com/

I have been to Lithuania many times but had not heard about this pyramid. It is wonderful to see so many people absorbing its energy and being healed.

I’ve always been obsessed with maps! This is such a treat 👍🏻

[@atlasobscura]

As far as maps go, this one is one you should DEFINITELY obsess over!

[@bordersonbudgets]

There's a fun book written by Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings titled: "Mapheads." It describes the lives and passions of people who love geography and maps.

[@theanticzproject9840]

Same with me, I thought I was the only one that looks at maps just for fun!

[@ig.genos.7]

Canadian Birdy very cool. The map is very intriguing with the cultural detail. Nice to see a glimpse of level headed and joyous characters among our unique institutional culture. next generation guidance

[@bordersonbudgets]

Thanks Atlas Obscura for this story! I often use your site for deciding where to go and what to do during my travels. Gladly I will check Anton's Web site.

[@atlasobscura]

Glad you enjoy it! And so happy to hear that we can be of help :)

[@bordersonbudgets]

@@atlasobscura AO has been helpful. For example, my day at Gruto Parkas (Stalin World) in Druskininkai, Lithuania last year was a direct result of consulting AO while last week I stopped by the Jewish bakery in Kolkata, India.

[@fallofmanbrand]

Loved It!

[@atlasobscura]

Glad you did! :) Thanks for watching!

[@JulienReszka]

Very cool

[@paustinheaton]

Amazing!

[@billleiker5314]

Pretty cool!

[@AsheOdinson]

This was so awesome. ❤️

[@vudley]

Rather than seeing this as disappointing (a comment below), I see it as a different kind of map, and a wonderful one at that. I enjoy a good traditional map, also, but this is a real treat.

[@vickid359]

Beautiful map!

[@mapadventures]

Awesome

[@shannonwold638]

Welp, off to order a map...

[@grahamparr3933]

[@garinistudio5308]

I’m drawing a map that looks just like this!😀

[@preshisify]

[@jayfrankenfield486]

Amazing artwork by Anton. If you enjoyed his style of map making, you may want to check out Eugene Scheel's historical maps. www.loudounhistory.org/history/eugene-scheel/
