Rome is conspicuously absent from this map.

Rome is a Jewish hoax

The Jews are conspicuously absent from the map

Heredotus knew of the Μαkροβίοι on what's now basically Morocco.

The jews are a roman (reptilian) hoax

I mean, in relation to what they explored, this actually isn't that far off.

Looks like the hollow earth, tbqh.

Last time I saw this image I didn't realize it went all the way past the Ganges.

That's pretty cool

I can see it. Neat. Of course even the ancient Greeks had a theory about other continents including a great continent in the south.
I wonder how much they knew about northern Europe.

The resolution is a bit higher on this one.

Honestly not a bad map, it gets the job done if you only care where you're going on a larger scale.

>I wonder how much they knew about northern Europe.

They knew quite a bit. We know that a Greek explorer sailed as far north potentially as Iceland, and he certainly went around Northern Britain.

Old stylized maps are the shit

id say its a schematic approximation

Fake map drawn in the middle ages

Inaccurate but practical enough

How do you underestimate the thickness of the Mediterranean this much?
