What did people used to think the world looked like? From the beginning of human history to right before the age of exploration, how were world maps created?
This goes from Anaximander to the Catalan Atlas in 1375.

Fantastic video, always wondered how it was possible in a world without planes and satellites.

Have you not heard about Vedic literature about this topic? I will give link to you for think over

The Byzantines produced pretty accurate maps of the known world in the 1290s, almost a century before the Catalan Atlas. It would be nice to have a mention of them and the role they played in the evolution of early modern mapmaking in the video, instead of listening to yet another story of "Roman era, then Christian West vs. Islam" (with some Jewish contribution thrown in). Otherwise the video is fun and well-made.

Thanks for the note and the kind words. Do you know the name of those maps, the explorers or cartographers, or where I could learn more about them? I'd love to do more research there. I'm also well aware that I completely ignored all of the knowledge happening in Asian countries at this period.

@@shub Hi, you'll find a good overview of late Byzantine mapmaking (.i.e. 13th c.) in: - Stella Chrysochoou, Ptolemy's Geography in Byzantium - Alex papadopoulos, Exploring Byzantine Cartographies. Some images of Byzantine world maps are available on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_(Ptolemy). P.S. I'm not sure what you mean with "Asian countries", but Byzantium was always situated on the nexus between Europe and Asia, straddling Southern Italy, the Balkans, the Aegean and Asia Minor.

wait a second so Ptolomy calculated earth size and after 1300 years Colombus was using his measurements to travel???? after 1k 300 years :D what he was thinking? what they was doing more then thousand years ??? it is crazy just to imagine so many years living and not knowing another words existing parallel to known world so many civilizations with all knowledge and stuff to trade and so many different culture all this time they was living in peace

@nightjarflying 2 жыл бұрын

NO - that's an incorrect synopsis! Columbus read Cardinal Pierre d'Ailly's "Imago Mundi," which gave Alfraganus' estimate that a degree of latitude (at the equator) was around 56.7 miles. Columbus did not realize this was expressed in longer Arabic miles rather than in shorter Roman miles - it was Columbus' own error to assume the correct ancient measurements employed the Roman mile. Thus Columbus estimated the Earth circumference at 19,000 [modern] miles, rather than the actual approx 25,00 miles. 19,000 miles was not the standard view in his time & quite a few people, quite rightly, pointed & laughed. Columbus was stubborn & not very bright - his mind was closed to data he didn't like.

Thank you. I'd limited my research to Western innovations, and I can fully admit that I should have conditionalized it to 'In Western culture' when talking about Aristotle. I'm really curious how different groups in the east and west were independently developing their view of the world, even beyond the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures I dipped into here.
