Objective: The goal of this project was to create a thematic map showing the borders and geographic characteristics of the ancient kingdom of Ugarit. The creation of this map required original research into the names and locations of ancient cities, trading routes, and neighboring empires. By highlighting the kingdom's geography and interactions with the outside world, I placed Ugarit's story within the larger context of the ancient near east.
