BEHIND THIS SCENE

What is history and what is fiction?

Historical travel world + sacred fictionThe roads and multicultural communities are historical. The specific network, symbols, and assignments are fictional.

Historical anchor

Long-distance routes linked Mesopotamia, Syria, Nabataea, Egypt, Judea, and the Iranian world. Merchants, physicians, multilingual families, and caravan stations made movement possible across political borders.

Fiction boundary

The Open Hand network, coded knots, designated houses, divided gold, and coordinated rescue plan are inventions.
