How could you forget the Portuguese World Maps, a secret well kept within the Casa da Índia (House of India) and guarded as to protect the crown interests, showing, perhaps, the most accurate depiction of land masses by the time. The Cantino Map, was a very large map in display at Casa da Índia for guidance on voyages and copies needed for navigation had to be permitted and issued by Casa Da Índia's itself. And we are talking of the 1500's.

Damn, respect to Hecateus. He got the whole known world pretty much exactly. He got the shape of the Mediterranean (especially Italy) better than anyone for like 2000+ years after him. It's not his fault that they didn't know about far-off places, and putting an ocean in a circle around the known world instead of speculating about land shape is pretty forgivable given that Greeks were convinced the universe was geometrically perfect.

Defined borders weren't really defined back in those days. Take the Roman Empire as an example. Wherever they managed to capture and seize a bit of land expanse, they would build temporary guard towers and forts and have guards man them until their battalion can advance to capture more land ahead then repeat. They had a "rolling" border that advanced (or sometimes retreated) depending on the battles that they would win on the front lines.
@bee5120
5 жыл бұрын
As a result, the regions nearer those "rolling" borders were very loosely governed compared to a well established region within the Roman Empire like the city of Rome. People in the "borderland" regions were perhaps just asked to make tax donations so guard fortifications and towers nearby could be maintained but they were less likely to be able to participate in politics such as voting unlike people in the city of Rome.

And yes, the Columbus - Indians story is true. Columbus thought the world was much smaller than other Europeans thought. Most of Europe knew the World was spherical and it's correct size had been estimated with quite good precision by ancient greeks in 350 BC. Columbus thought he could reach Asia by navigating west across the great ocean, which he thought was much smaller. He faced opposition because nobody would finance a trip across the CORRECTLY calculated size of the Atlantic+Pacific, which they thought was a single ocean. The crew would all die 1/3 of the way to Asia. COlumbus got LUCKY there was a continent 1/3 of the way to Asia.

For Pomponius' map, the seas/lakes in Africa are most likely the salt lake Chott el Djerid, which was named after Triton in antiquity and Lake Chad. And the "strange inland sea in Arabia" is the Persian Gulf (Persicum mare), situated between Arabia (Arabia Eudaemon) and Persia (Persiae /Ariane - this seems to be Balochistan). The island could be Bahrain. The Indus and Ganges rivers are shown, but most of the subcontinent inbetween them is missing. Indochina and China are not known either, the map basically stops at Sogdiana in Central Asia. And there are fantastical islands in the Indian Ocean. It's obvious that only sparse information was available about that region. There are even maneaters (Antropophagi) marked in Siberia/Kazakhstan.

The map you said "maybe has New Zealand" certainly does, as it has Abel Tasman's discoveries on it. He came close to circumnavigating Australia, but missed the east coast and found New Zealand instead. You can see the southern coast of Tasmania, the eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island and the western coast of Queensland's Cape York Peninsula. The east coast of Australia was not mapped until 1770 with James Cook, who also mapped the rest of New Zealand and several Polynesian island chains.

If you pay close attention to the left-corner, you can even see distorted shapes for current Spain, France and Italia.

The purpose of this was to find a Western sea route to said countries as traveling Eastward was dangerous due to Muslim controlled routes to Asia. www.infoplease.com/history-and-government/us-history/voyages www.biography.com/explorer/christopher-columbus www.history.com/this-day-in-history/columbus-sets-sail Don't just send a link to an image from a Wiki article.

@@sillonar You should really read a book about Columbus sometime. You'll learn a lot. So here's the text from the book 'Admiral of the Ocean Sea' by Samuel Eliot Morison, page 268: "Nothing to do but keep the vessels clean, observe ship routine, watch for birds and flying fishes, and spend the gold you are going to pick up in Cipangu. The Admiral says here,” Page 308: "After inspecting the harbor the boats returned to the vessels at their anchorage in Long Bay, a row of some twenty miles going and coming; and in the early afternoon the fleet made sail for Cipangu." Page 315: "Somewhere in that direction must be Cipangu. So Columbus concluded his Journal for October 13, “I intend to go and see if I can find the Island of Japan.” All the rest of his First Voyage was, in fact, a search for gold and Cipangu" Page 383: "Columbus concluded that at last he was on the road to the fabulous Cipangu of the gold-roofed palaces."

I just came across your Channel and I'm so excited. A friend of mine years ago who collected most all her life gave me a bunch of books and magazines and a leather binder full of maps. These snaps in this folder is black and white it's of most every state prior to population. I never realized that all of Louisiana was pretty much water Waze before they built up and settled. They're impressive but I'm not sure where to start . I've had them for at least 30 years now. Any information would help me so much to preserve, care for and research them.thank you

Just to clarify, the map you show by Claudias Ptolemy from 150AD was printed in Ulm in 1482. These maps are considered "Ptolomeic" from the speculations of the ancient Ptolomy's from Alexandria Egypt. This is where more formal knowledge of world geography begins.

Baja California is a region of almost continuous North Eastern "Trade Winds". With the square sail ships available, about the best a ship could sail was to 90 degrees to the wind. The "LA" area was known to the Spanish, which is why the Anza Expedition (the people that found "San Francisco) was organized to find a land route to California. Before the land route, the "shortest" way to California was to sail across to China and back via the North Pacific Ocean. That is why the first colonies established in California mostly starved out.

You’re missing the cat and the lioness in that Greek map on minute 3. That is clearly a caricature of a map, it is not to be taken seriously. The human head and the ear is inside the lioness mouth, which a very fine art if you ask me, to come up with distorting proportions on a map in order to create art. More than 2000 years ago and they were more clever than some, whom are unable to get it!

7:13. In Columbus first account book about the discovery he is convinced the first little islands he met in America were "Cipangu" Cipangu is literally the name Marco Polo gave to Japan (he heard from the Chinese, he never visited Japan) martelus (The Cosmographist who drew the maps that Columbus used (Best maps money can buy at its time) draw Japan north south just by coincidence because nobody was actually there. BTW: Columbus researched old Greek books and he got a measurement of earth circumference, about 30% smaller than it really it's. Putting all together this belief that he was approaching some western Japanese islands was totally understandable.

@@General.Knowledge I noticed many Americans tend to believe the world ends at their border, but Mexico was explored first, and Baja California is a very long peninsula. When we arrive from what was then the Spanish territories, that peninsula is indeed totally separated from the mainland. It's only far at the North, in territories which weren't fully explored then and which indeed consists in the modern US "California" that the peninsula actually joins the continent.

The Baja California Peninsula was for the first decades thought to be indeed an island, but already early on it was known to have been a peninsula since the 16th century, Francisco de Ulloa was one of the many explorers who proved this, and maps also reflected this. The most famous example is Abraham Ortelius' Theatrus Orbim Terrarum of 1570. And "Indians" were called like that, and most importantly remained with that name because after discovering that America was a new continent, it was refered to it as "The Indies", and therefore its inhabitants, Indians.

Narration of map is needed to explain about Ino,Tadataka of Japan. He made extreme correct map of Japan in 1816. This map of all Japan had been surveyed by Ino,Tadataka and his cruise. He had very nice math technic and his strong feet. When the map was completed, German doctor Von Siebold who came to Japan as a Netherland man could get copy of Ino map. And Mathew Perry bought the map after Von Siebold went home of Germany. Ino map gave a great shock to English Map survey Bureau. UK recognized the most correct map of Japan is Ino Tadataka's map. US, Mathew Perry brought the map to Japan and he surveyed at Edo (Tokyo) bay and he was astonished how much correct the Ino map is. After he knew degree of map his diplomatic attitude to Japan became very polite and gentle. After he retired general commander, he wrote a sentence in memoir as followings. Japan will be tough rival for USA soon. His prediction came true.
