[The map is criss-crossed with arrows, trade routes, and other symbols showing the historical spread and interaction of cultures, such as the Silk Road trade routes, European colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade, the spread of Islam, etc. Major cities and landmarks for each culture are also labeled.] This is of course a greatly simplified view, as most regions contain a diverse patchwork of many different cultures, languages and traditions that blur together at the edges. But it provides a high-level overview of the dominant cultural spheres across the world and how they relate to each other. Let me know if you would like me to expand on any part of the map in more detail. Here is a gigantic detailed map of world religions: [A large, intricate diagram with boxes, lines, and labels showing the major world religions and their relationships, denominations, key beliefs, origins, and historical developments. The diagram has a clear hierarchy and shows how religions have split, merged, and influenced each other over time. The top level shows the major categories: - Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i) - Indian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism) - East Asian religions (Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto, Chinese folk religion) - Indigenous and folk religions (African traditional, Native American, Paganism, etc.) - New religious movements (Scientology, Wicca, Neo-paganism, etc.) - Non-religious (Atheism, agnosticism, secular humanism, etc.) Under each major category, the diagram drills down to show: - Key denominations, sects, and schools of thought - Origins, timelines, and historical spread - Central texts, scriptures, and religious figures - Core beliefs, doctrines, and practices - Rituals, holidays, and places of worship - Estimated numbers of followers worldwide Certain elements are color-coded, such as lines showing the historical influence and relationships between faiths. Important schisms and reformations are called out. The diagram aims to visually represent the vast diversity of religious beliefs and traditions across human civilization in a detailed yet accessible way. While extremely comprehensive, a note clarifies it is still a simplified overview of an immensely complex topic.] Here's an even more gigantic map of languages, with more language families and
