I've taken down some notes on phrases which I could use to create a script, should I need a voice over. My main focus is to create environments for a Documentary but to focus on something other than the obvious facts the map gives. Seeing as 'Life and Death' is a major, yet underrated theme on the map I aim to bring these subjects to light.

Mappa Mundi Notes
After re-watching the Mappa Mundi Documentary,
I've taken down some notes on phrases which I could use to create a script, should I need a voice over. My main focus is to create environments for a Documentary but to focus on something other than the obvious facts the map gives. Seeing as 'Life and Death' is a major, yet underrated theme on the map I aim to bring these subjects to light.
History of the world
Events of the past, some 1000’s year apart
Events such as Cesar sending out people to map the world before Christ, crucifixion of Christ and Noah’s Ark
The whole world is like a book written by the hand of God
As seen in Judgment Day- heaven on the left, hell on the right, Crucifixion, Horseman, Latin word for Death around the outside.
‘Here is the World’, says the Map ‘enjoy it for you will soon leave it’
Though teaming with life the map is more about Death.
Life in the next world was the only certainty.
