Cyrus the Great

[jona]

A man named G+¬rard Hoebrigs has created beautiful maps of the Iranian expansion under Cyrus the Great. You can download them as a zip-file at:http://www.patrick-kluivert.com/cyrus.zipThe address is not a joke. (For American readers: Patrick Kluivert is a well-known soccer-player.)Jona

Great Maps, Thanks!The size of pics could be reduced to one half, if they were converted to GIF!

JonaAre you sure that address isn't a joke? I was catching up on posts and following links, and this one led to the famous soccer player's webpage, but there was no cyrus.zip lurking anywhere.I enjoyed reading Patrick's news anyway.Cheers

I'm afraid that it has already been removed...Jona

Hi there,I'm the creator of the maps. I didn't remove the file, but I think it was because I changed the file to a new version called "Cyrus.zip" instead of "cyrus.zip". The compressed version of the maps is still available at the above URL. The 6 MB zip file (totally uncompressed) can be downloaded here:
