This historical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “East-Hem 700ad.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

This historical map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.

1. Borders of Europe are mostly derived from the www.Euratlas.com map of Europe in 700 AD archive copy at the Wayback Machine.

• (Please note: User:Bogomolov.PL has done a great job of showing me possible discrepancies in my north European borders compared to this source, due to the differences in the geographical layout of the maps.)

• Please note: borders between Tibet and India are in question due to conflicts between source information:

2c. My depiction of Tibet's borders with India are based on these sources:

• 1: DK Atlas of World History (2000 edition, pg. 262), showing Tibet's borders in 800 AD, with northern India (the entire length of the Ganges, almost to the Indus river) under Tibet's control.
• 2: Huhai.net's map of Asia in 750 AD, which shows Tibetan control over Kamarupa, Bengal, and Pala.
• 3: "Himalayan Region, 500–1000 A.D." in Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, (October 2001)
• 4: Google Book's "History of Tibet" (Page 54), makes several notes of Nepal's Licchavi dynasty as vassals of Tibet, and also says that India's Pala Empire under King Dharmapala accepted Tibetan overlordship.
• 5: Google Book's "Ancient India", (Page 632), describes Tibetan activities during the reigns of Songtsan Gampo and King Harsha of Kannauj. Also describes the Tibetan subjucation of Kamarupa and Kannauj after the death of King Harsha.
• 6: Wikipedia's article about Tibetan King Songtsän Gampo states that Tibet and Nepal invaded India in 648 AD and defeated Harsha's successor, after the Indian King had attacked a Chinese envoy named Wang Xuanze.
