World map in 1,000 BC
For 1,000 BC, IntMap draws the Cliopatria, Seshat Global History Databank (by year), then historical-basemaps — each drawn only where the records before it are silent map of that year: 77 names within the world. The map also draws 94 outlines here that the source gives no name.

Listed: every name whose outline IntMap draws inside 180°W–180°E, 90°S–90°N on this date, with the name the map writes on it. The list is worked out when the site is built, from the same records and the same code the map uses, so it says what the map shows — not more. Names are the source’s own, translated where the source or IntMap’s name table has a translation.
