Alright, time for another picture I guess and this Israel question certainly deserves some looking into. It had confused me before but with some of the other evidence I thought it might be a zionist or Bible thumper who made the map
. You'll notice PAL also written below Israel.
Obviously its not the most accurate of maps but give the guy a break its 5 inches tall. I figure while he may not be on top of changing borders at least he's not a psychic. Weird border between Syria and Iraq.
Fez, I'd love to see a picture of that.

So logically the globe was made before 1918. Unless of course it's a copy.

It's a 1948 globe. India hasn't been subdivided and Sudan is still an Anglo-Egyptian Corporation.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Can you give us a shot of the Indian subcontinent? IIRC, the British withdrew from the area in 1948, and the names of the countries there would help date it.
So far, we seem to be looking at a 1947-48 date on this."Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

Sudan is called Anglo-Egyptian in the map? Iran is not called Persia?
I agree with the people that is guessin it is a post-WWII map, but only a few years after...
Or maybe just at the end of the WWII.Trying to rehabilitateh and contribuing again to the civ-communityComment

"Anglo-Egyptian Sudan"??
"Trans-Jordan"?? (or TR. JORDAN)
Those are old names. Why not "Ultima Thule" while we're at it?

Maybe the map is just after the ONU was designing (or approving) the partition between Israel and Palestine, but before the Israel's War of Independence...Trying to rehabilitateh and contribuing again to the civ-communityComment
