AMTOR

Edgar Rice Burroughs
Appeared in the ERB Inc. first editions
This map appeared on the end papers of the first editions.
The inhabitants of Amtor believe that their world is saucer-shaped and floats on a sea of molten rock.
Further, they believe that the region at the equator is located in the centre of the saucer and the polar cap is around the rim.
Naturally this makes for a map which is meaningless by our standards.

AMTOR

Laurence G. Dunn
This map by Laurence G. Dunn is a redraw of the map of Amtor drawn by ERB
which was used as endpapers in the first editions.
It is reoriented with the pole at the center and the equator at the rim.
The map is therefore drawn in a form familiar to Earthers.

This map drawn by Frank Brueckel is a redraw of the map of Amtor drawn by ERB

It is reoriented with the pole at the center and the equator at the rim.
