The astronomical snips of all six solar eclipses, the background stars, and the moon originated with, or the artist modified them from, Stellarium astronomical software. The author drew the map at the bottom but altered it using Google Earth’s overlay function with an angled view.
The obelisk in the Egyptian Pillar, from the reign of Thutmose Ⅲ, is a colorized version of a drawing of one of “Cleopatra’s Needles” (now in New York City’s Central Park) from Description de l’Égypt, Antiquités, Planches, Tome Ⅴ (Volume Ⅴ), Plate 33, 1822.
