Teen spends seven years creating map of imaginary city
A teen has spent the last seven years creating a map of a fantasy city and even wrote travel guides and history books about it. Jake Daniels-Shipsmith, 14, has been working on this map since he was seven years old and just completed it last Sunday (Sept 8). The map is made up of nine pieces of A3 paper, reaches three-metres-long and one-metre-wide and is a testament to Jake's love of history and geography. The city of Ty-taniam, pronounced "titanium", has several sections which span different historical time periods, including a Tudor town, a Roman city and Medieval villages. As he got older, Jake stopped working on the map regularly until about a week ago when he decided to finish the piece and completed it over the weekend.
