Modern maps just aren't as fun without the monsters!

While these old maps are not as accurate as modern ones, I think it is interesting that they are so accurate. An interesting video would be on how ancient explorers drew such accurate maps since they had no aerial view at all.

5:52 Well, that's a Seahorse. Can't really argue with that

Could you analyze maps of Eastern Europe, I find it so interesting that it was pretty unknown till the age of discovery too

Very nice video. You missed a very nice detail on the map shown around 9:20 though :) Japan is shown horizontally, in stead of vertically. This is because the Dutch had to go of Chinese map (which showed it as seen from mainland China and not orientated northward). The Dutch were told that they'd lose all access to Deshima (the only international trading town in Japan) if they circumnavigated Japan.

That last map had interesting proportions! Almost like the curve of the earth viewed from an angle

My undergrad was in cartography and spatial analysis. I don't work in that field anymore, and I was more of an old globe collector, but this takes me back to history classes on the topic. Nice video.

I like old maps as well. My favorite is an old 1850's one of Australia, which still had no lines on the coast of Victoria. Last of all major lines in the atlas we know today.

Thank you for the bison herd map and your commentary; I have never seen or heard of it and feel blessed today to find the info. Thank you so much.

'Several monsters are drawn on the map..' Gonna do that like a boss in my arcgis class🌚

So cool! The drawings of the cities is very interesting

I cant get enough of this stuff. I love it. Great video

Great video, I have an old friend who used to say "Tierra del Fuego" when leaving. It sounded like "till we meet again" in some foreign language. It still gets a chuckle.

I've always been very interested in maps, I can point out any country on a globe instantly. Also, I can recognize nearly every single flag

Just love the beauty of the design of these old maps. Works of art. 👌

Fun fact of old spanish: the letter X was pronounced as 'sh', so conquistadors would say 'Meshico'. The sound later change to a modern J sound but original topographical names remained. That's why Mexico, still with an X, is pronounced Mejico today

I've always loved looking at maps. Not sure why but it just seems so interesting to see what other countries are like. Thanks for scratching my itch! ❤✌🇨🇦

new to the channel. but I can't get enough of it keep up the great job!

I get a kick of old maps of North America where California is depicted as an island

Your best videos, I love old maps!

Love it. Thank you!!

The map of Virginia at 4:00 reminds me of the infamous New Yorker cover showing Manhattan in detail and then the rest of the country beyond the Hudson. "Here's Virginia. The Hudson River is just a little bit this way, and San Francisco is just a little bit the other way." :D

pure gold. Thank you for posting.

I love old maps and depictions.

Great video as always.

I have had an obsession with old maps my whole life. Thank you❤️

Wow the map it is very interesting THANK you very much for having time in showing it

Excellent. Check out the Piri Reis map.

Great video thank you 👍🏻

The giant that pointed to the sky is very interesting

How long does it usually take you to make a video from start to finish?

There’s a whole bunch of maps with Antarctica surrounding the entire world too. You should show some of them too, beings that’s what most of the old maps looked like.

Letsgoooo another one

Terra Incognita/Parts Unknown (RIP Ultimate Warrior 🙏💪🏽) & Here be Dragons 🐉 🐾🐻

Funny thing about the Ziphius is that an actual fish kinda did the same. The Cookiecutter Shark actually made holes in submarines 70s

considering they sighted polar bears and narwhals and later giant squid and other rare but verified creatures, who is to say the monsters weren't just badly drawn extinct animals. we have barely explored the ocean and can't presume to know of every extinct species that has ever existed.

it was useful for my old map activity

Have you noticed the disappearance or extinction of sea dragons? I've always read about it in historical books

I love how anyone talking about lake Titicaca has to reference the Animaniacs song big mentioning that it's between Bolivia and Peru. Like, it's just necessary. lol

Imagine making a trip across the Atlantic thinking you can just cut through but the map they gave you was wrong

Any big video plans when you inevitably reach 100k subscribers?

Chili and Perv, my favorite places.

I could do this for hours, days, months, years.

Emperor's new groove

If you wanna see the more strange wild animals, keep care our nature. Lets them living healthy. Nice work of video keep going, greeting from Malaysia🇲🇾🌍

You may find our antique map collation of interest....

Do you have any maps from the time of Noah or from before the flood?

:15 for being over 400 years old I say that map is fairly accurate. Especially considering there are nonexistent sea serpents frolicking in the water on either side of the continent.

Maps and Flagstaff 😊😊😊

Charles Hapgood. Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings

It's funny, I've tried watching this video multiple times. I can't get past the first map without going into a rabbit hole on Google and Wikipedia, then returning. Lmao

Definitely need to bring monsters back into the game

3:54 is not year 1635 but j635 which means after Jesus year 635. Also at 3:59 says Anno i577 which means year 577

Waldseemuller Map is the last one. When the U.S. bought that map, I thought is was one of three left. Is it the only one left?

0:31 look where the equator is at?

I have many maps. I love collecting them. I was born way to late.

When the giant was dancing around in Patagonia was he pointing his middle finger?

M8 that has to be the most tailored to me clickbait title ever Lesss gooo

Can somebody explain how they got the US so accurate in 1889. Math and a lot of exploration and perfection over the years is my guess but I wanna know for sure.

Interesting how they had knowledge of giants in South America.

Bro just imagine if you read the description of aztecs cities “Decorations of flowers and human blood, multiple sacrifices of living men a day” Id wipe them out too if I were spanish

That Ziphus monster looks like the American flag, I know there's two monsters there but still, if you hadn't said owl head, I would of thought it was an Egale head 😅

i would love to get an accurate world map , cut all the pieces out and see how all the lands fit together like a puzzle 🤔🤔🤔

0:23 ironic as that's where their from

Here’s a challenge. Do a video about Jamaica’s history and what’s happening.

ah, i want to draw maps like these. how can i learn it? i would appreciate it if anyone helps.

Add mad youtube has become greedy

I got a question... Is there a scientific reason the continents seem to balance themselves out over the globe? I mean, suppose Antarctica was not there. Then that means the center of mass of the earth would be slightly further north. This would make the ball of water that covers the earth shift just as much northward. This would then thin out the above-water northern continents, and since the ball of water is now further northward, maybe even some of the south pole floor, where you previously took away the antarctica landmass, now shows up as dry land (since the would-be southern-most edge of the now-more-northern water ball is now Below(further north of) where the southpole land extent is now), thusly RE-balancing out the dry lands across the world. The same affect you can see would occur no matter Where you removed or added extra land to. Does anyone know if the above logic holds up accurately, scientifically?

Monsters And giants? What does that got to do with a map?

I thought 10 mins of map yeah right! 10 mins later... Awe it's over.

No more than humans knew at that time in history, I doubt if it's important .

Please add English subtitle

Early Antarctica maps basically prove we've been lied to, for a loooong time.

Change it to monster geek bruh

Don't you DARE utter the name Montezu-

How do you know they wernt accurate and the sea monsters did actually existed an was bigger than islands

Pause more, Cuzco went too fast

old maps, primarily based on landmarks and easily recognized features. Mountains, cities and even depictions of people. But no one mentions what they don't have, pyramids????? none of the old maps even Napoleons maps made when he went to egypt show any sign of pyramids. when the first do appear later on maps they are the tall skinny pyramids like those in bosnia??????

There are deeper reasons behind what happened between Japan and christianity. Not so much an unexpected response to what was done for the time period, really.

Montte-zumba??

The music is distracting

Magellan and his crew apparently only explored the northern part of Tierra del Fuego, so they thought it was a continent and not an island

I Love Jonna Napire 🧡💛❤ March 27, 2024

Maybe you should tell the flat earth community 😂

Why would they put these creatures there if they didn't exist? Kings used to send people out to slay these creatures.u weren't there , so don't assume things by today's reality. They used to not believe gorillas existed

The map of London made me sad.......so much history there, but now over-run with immigrants. R.I.P. Old England

The way you say potato. Makes me feel so American with you. We’re Kin.

These are very interesting maps. Just found your channel. Loving it. I just purchased a map of Jerusalem by Christian Van Adrichem from 1584. There are so many great pictures on it you might find interesting. Maybe you can give us a review of it? here is a link to the map en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_van_Adrichem#/media/File:Jerusalem_map_van-Adrichem_1584.jpg

These maps have errors and should be discarded.
