 A Feat of Crowds: hic sunt leones, hic sunt dracones (previously A Storm of Hordes) is the fourth and last volume of a series of books called A Song of Sheep and Horses, which includes archaeological and genetic information in books 1 and 2, A Game of Clans & A Clash of Chiefs, and linguistic data in the third volume, A Storm of Words.

This volume contains supplementary materials: poster-size high-quality maps and graphics to illustrate the information contained in the other three volumes. Maps include cultures and their inferred migrations, as well as genetic data published to date added automatically with the help of GIS software.

Read online or download

Due to the big size of the whole volume, you may be willing to try different alternatives among the following, for the most comfortable reading experience.

The recommended option is to read or download individual maps and associated files directly from the official site https://indo-european.eu/maps/. Updates and relevant comments will be posted there.

Graphics (PCA; ADMIXTURE) can also be downloaded from the same site, at https://indo-european.eu/pca/.

If you want to have the full, bookmarked PDF, you may want to right click and download the file to read it from your computer or device, instead of trying to read it online:

• PDF (View Online / Download), Bookmarked, in Color v. 1.21 (228 MB!):
  • Download or read from Indo-European.info (v. 1.21), the official download site

As a last alternative to read the supplementary materials offline, if you find difficulties reading the PDF because of its size, is to download all individual files as a single compressed ZIP file (it may contain old versions of graphics, unlike those available online):

• 7z file, with maps and graphs published on 3rd June 2019 (124 Mb).
• ZIP file, with maps and graphs published on 3rd June 2019 (179 Mb).
• RAR file, with maps and graphs published on 3rd June 2019 (179 Mb).
