• Still Standing: why do old buildings survive?

  

  I mapped all 6,837 buildings and structures in Wikidata from before AD 1100. 65% were built for worship, most still are, and the survivors are either indispensable or forgotten.

• There and Back Again: 2,500 years of great journeys, and how sure we are that they happened

  

  I mapped 43 great journeys from about 600 BC to 1947, out and back, and graded each by its evidence. 18 are proven and 7 are legends, and 11 of the 12 journeys after 1450 are proven against 7 of the 31 before.
