Ok, here's what you're going to do:
1. Listen to this music!
2. Immerse yourselves in the rich history of the Achaemenid!
3. Question why my last two maps on Persian history looks like crap compared to this!

What did you use to make the map, out of curiosity.Β

I'm getting the feeling that you tried to use as many Old-Persian names as you can find, while substituting local names for the rest. Is it the case? The nomads not having marked cities also makes sense, actually. Personally, as this is concurrent with the reign of Darius, a tracing of the Royal Road would have been appropriate, I think.
Overall, a nice and informative map, with the names adding some exotic flair for those of us used to Hellenized geography.

The ancient persian history is really highly interesting for me ^^ When camed the QatarΒ peninsular under Persian control? In the islamic period?
Btw, how many time you have needed to make this map? It feels you are really fast in map making

Great work!Thanks
Where did you get the sources for the administrative divisions?A mix of Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Iranica . It's hard to determine the actual scope of each satrapies considering it's not a define compare to our modern comprehension of provincial borders, and I don't have much material to work with since most of them aren't available for free.

Very cool! I actually recently read anabasis by xenophon which takes place during the achamenid times. I was even thinking of making a map on the book
