+Q: I'm working on Sapiens and there are some borderless maps that are giving me some trouble. The maps are referring to very early time periods, but for clarity I feel like I need to refer to them in modern day terms (i.e. modern day Spain). Additionally, in some cases I can refer to an entire continent or a large region, but in other cases the maps are more specific and I feel like I need to refer to specific countries. I've attached one example of such a map and a draft of my description that I'm hoping I can get your feedback on. To me, it feels clunky.

 Q: I am working on Prairie Fire and saw this image that I have to write alt-text for. I'm unsure of how to write alt-text for this... I can't read most of the words. Is this considered complex alt-text? I don't even know where to start...
