This is a really fascinating map. I'm really confused as to why it's using Taoist trigrams around the map's legend, though.

I also find it really interesting/fascinating that the artist chose 1260AH/1844AD as his date of reference. That year has major historical significance in both Islam (as the return of the 12th Imam) and the Baha'i Faith (as the birth of that religion in Iran, and a prophetic fulfillment of the return of the 12th Imam). Even in Christianity 1844 has some significance as that's the date that the Millerite sect predicted the return of Christ.
