I have long been mystified by those who do not think the Rosettes folio is map. I tend to put that down to a lack of study of the details of the page and so a superficial overview. As from my experience, chatting with people about this here and elsewhere, so many people ignore and haven't thought about so many details of the page that I have considered.
There seems to be a lot of attention given to the overall layout of 9 large circles in a 3 by 3 arrangement as being unobserved in other maps, that we know of, and therefore the page not constituting a map. However there is much less attention to the numerous lower level details that I have referred to and described elsewhere, which I believe testify to it being a map. So, I ascribe the view that it is not a map to a lack of study or familarity with the page. Many people don't get much further than the overall layout of 9 nine circles in their study of the page.
I have spent more time studying this page in more detail than anyone who existence I am aware of; I don't mean that as a boast, but almost certainly as an observation. And I have confidence that I could reproduce the page from memory much better than anyone. This means that I am very conscious of the details in the page and have given them a lot of thought. So much so that writing up my full complete analysis of this page has always seemed very time consuming and daunting; however I have shared before on this forum an annotated image of the page showing my identifications.
I think an important example of features of this page that support the "map" interpretation and are generally almost completely ignored are the causeways, so I have started a thread on the subject of the Rosettes causeways.
