2:59 Oh my god, you are a genius. I could not detect anything from first sight. You are right. The map actually just goes to the coastline of Persia lol
At 1:42 you see a separation between Europe and Asia, that separation may have been because they though it was a separation, but another reason is that for a long time they the Caspian sea was actually part of the ocean. So in that map he's likely trying to connect the Caspian sea to the real sea. And that it also why we call it the Caspian sea, because it's not a sea its a lake. Idk fun fact.
Hello from Ireland. Centuries ago the Irish believed that there was a small island to the west of Ireland. It was supposedly called Hy Brasil. It appeared on most maps for centuries and it was only in the eighteen hundreds that the English finally proved that there was no island there. If we look at the bathymetric map of the Atlantic at that very point we see that the ocean there is much shallower than the ocean around it. That part is now called the 'Porcupine Bank'. Since the ocean levels were much lower 12,000 years ago it is perfectly reasonable to believe that here was an island there at some time. It does seem bizarre however, to claim that stories could have been handed down mouth to mouth for that length of time.
Mot unreasonable to assume, stories certainly do get handed over such long periods of time. Also possible they were stories of Canada passed on from Vikings.
there is also the map of Piri Reis that he made in 1513 ... he claims that he used Christoph Colomb's lost map that he drew in 1498 as one of the sources to make his map
Thank you very much for sharing the high res pics. The Asia 1700s Map is remarkable. It even shows the top of Northern Territory, Australia. Labelled "Terre du sud" (Southern Land)
Just a thought, but could you do a video on ancient maps of the solor system or star maps, it will be nice considering the 50th anniversary of the moon landing
4:55 That river in Asia is probably the Yellow River . Also, Asia is prone to massive floods, so a cartographer going through the region at such a time would have an altered perspective of the size of the river.
What about The 12th century map that Plato created describing northwestern Africa to north Eastern Africa depicting the location of Atlantis ruled by atlas one of poseidon's sons, a map that is accurate and is now called “the eye of Africa” which shows signs of being under water and Volcanic action which can cause earthquakes
Probably You have forgotten the mysterious maps of Piri Reis A 16 Century Ottoman Admiral, Navigator, Geographer... he was the first one ho putted Antarctica Map without Ice covered with full clear detailed and after 300 years Antarctica was founded... and also see his world map... Best wishes for future videos... ENJOY!!!!
The Cosmas Indicopleustes' map: It looks like the blue and the white were used as water and land. I think the red looks like some leader in history took some red paint and covered up part of the map to hide something. This is just a hypothesis as I know nothing more than what I learned from this video but that is what it looks like. Someone should use computer imaging to see if they can find an original layer of ink under the red.
1:42 i think it is wolga (idk how to write this in english so sorry if i wrote it wrong) because this is a gigantic river and i think he draw it too big.
It says the sea it connects to is the Caspian on a higher resolution map, and it goes more or less north, so that has got to be it. (Also, the English spelling would just be Volga, pronounced the same I think)
7:20 the clover-leaf shape isn't supposed to symbolise the christian trinity. If you look at the whole map (6:52), you can see a sentence above the map in german which translates to: "The whole world in a clover leaf, which is in the Coat of Arms of Hannover, the city of my beloved father". If you look at the modern day Coat of Arms of Hannover you can see that it still has the clover leaf in it.
Oh awesome! That makes more sense. I've noticed that sometimes people make up meanings for things to have more symbolic depth, and most times it was just because of something much simpler, like that. Thanks!
In the first map, the body of water splitting Asian and Europe is the Caspian Sea. I recently found out that there are a series or river connecting the Caspian Sea to the Baltic Sea. These were used mostly by Vikings. This lead Eastern Europeans to believe there was some big protrusion of the Baltic Sea into the continent. Cool, huh?
Please keep in mind that nearly all greek and roman maps are only known from text descriptions. In these maps europe seems pretty acurate, but these maps are mostly drawn in the 15-17 century.
If Jerusalem is in the centre of the map, it means that it is a religious map, they were never used for navigation just for decoration. The reason Jerusalem was in the canter of the map was because it was considered the "belly button" of the world
The map in 8:13 was made by Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville who was the king geographer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baptiste_Bourguignon_d%27Anville
The inscription above the clover leaf map actually says: "Die ganze Welt in einem Kleeblatt / Welches ist der Stadt Hannover meines lieben Vaterlandes Wapen." Which is translated: "The whole world in a clover leaf / which is the city of Hanover, my dear homelands crest" So maybe the map isn't a symbol of god's trinity, but just an hommage to his beloved hometown...
Just a little fact for anyone who's interested, the last map is most likely made through Dutch accounts of what the lands downunder looked like as they were the first to discover and colonize Australia and New Zealand (it's also the reason why New Zealand is New, the province of Zealand is in the Netherlands) both are viewable on the map with ecpecially Tanzania being interesting for it was the biggest trade post after New Holland (Western Australia) in Dutch colonial hands. Thanks for listening to my TEDtalk hope it was at least a little interesting! Oh and for any Dutchies out here: G E K O L O N I S E E R D en dan HOUDOE!
sorry! but that is not true, the first to discover Australia were the portuguese navigators www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSSYD3449720070321
I saw that Tabula Peutingeria map in a Roman Museum in Trier this fall. Studied it for quite a while, took some time to get acustomed to the orientation. You were right on it being crete. Iirc the map goes from galia/france/belgium (left side) alllll the way to persia.
The orange map with the white around it looks like he could have just quickly sailed through the middle and got a vague idea of the shape of the ocean/river without actually going to those places.
The Latin, Greek or even French inscriptions give the answers to many of your questions. For example, the Indicopleustes map writes down explicitly that the white form is "Rhomaikos Kolpos", meaning the Roman Gulf (or Sea), i.e. the Mediterranean. All around Is written O - KE - A - NOC (i.e. NOS in Greek alphabet). Down from left to right are the Nile, the Red Sea as a circle, the Persian Gulf idem, with Tigris and Euphrates flowing down into it. The circle on the northern edge is labeled Caspian. On Posidonios' map, the river you mark in the end is labeled Sinus Caspicus (Caspian Gulf) and joins Mare Caspium (Caspian Sea), as well as the well-known rivers Iaxartes fl. (flumen) and Oxus fl. On Peutinger's map, everything is written in Latin. No geographic accuracy: it was just a road map. You read Sicilia on the island placed along deformed Bruttium, and Macedonia opposite. What you wonder whether Crete is attached to the continent: it is in fact the Peloponnese, between the Gulf of Corinth and the Attic Sea. On the Genoese map, what you see as water is actually mountain ranges: the Urals going up, and the Himalayas horizontally, recognizable by the many rivers (dark meandering lines) flowing south from it. The big red island south of India is Ceylon, colonized at that time by the Portuguese, like I learned from another of your "maps" videos. Bunting's cloverleaf map is not the same as the Trinity medieval maps, where East (i.e. Asia) was up, Europe down left and Africa down right, like in the Erbsdorf map. The title says: " Die ganze Welt in einem Kleberblat, Welches ist der Stadt Hannover meines lieber Vaterlandes Wapen." - The whole world in a cloverleaf, which is my beloved hometown Hannover's Arms The publisher of the Asia map is a "Seigneur d'Anville, secretary of His Sérénissime Highness the Duke of Orléans", presumably the commissioner of this effort. Engraver is marked as Guill. De la Haye, and the date is MDCCLII, 1752. Australian map: produced by someone on the service of the Golden Company of Middelburg (Zeelands province, in the Netherlands) in 1669, depicting Hollandia Nova "detecta (discovered) in 1644". It is only a century later that Cook will discover the East. Notice how they call the Equator "equinoctial line".
As an Australian, the Australian map is kind of interesting given that when Australia was discovered the British first landed on the east coast (where we now have Sydney) but the map shows mostly the western half with only the coast of New South Wales. The map seems to be in French though which may play a part since the British colonised the east. The actual name was New Holland. Much the same as the name New South Wales. The naming wasn't very flashy. Other Aussies that know more about when each part of Australia was mapped out and colonised enlighten me please.
I like how ancient people painted the red sea red. When I was little (maybe four or five), I thought the red sea was actually red. I wonder if these cartographers never saw the sea and thought the name was literal, or if it was an artistic choice
02:04 Looking at this map I feel uncomfortable ;/ Besides, great video! I love to look at old maps and to imagine what did people think of the world and I envy them a bit, because back then not everything was discovered yet and there was lots of room for imagination, the world was enigmatic and magic.
The Trinity meaning of the clover map theory makes sense, that's what St Patrick deemed the 3 leaf clover to symbolize, idk where we get the 4 leaf being lucky from. And with Jerusalem in the middle makes sense because God's heart is there. It's His city. They understood that back then.
The map of Australia is interesting, as there was a fair chance that if the Dutch chose to establish a settlement on the west coast, Australia could well have ended up as a continent with Dutch, French and English colonies. However, the Dutch decided that the land was too inhospitable to support settlement, but if they had chosen to venture inland, especially in the southwest corner, they would've come across incredible scenery.
It would've been really interesting if 3 European powers had colonized Australia instead of just the British, maybe the western coast would be more populated and we'd have 3 different countries.
7:24 well, according to the headline, its a cloverleaf because it was part of the coat of arms of the author's home state of Hanover. And yes, it includes a clover leaf up until today.
Terra Australis was actually an Aristotelic concept... He thought that the "world's disc" would flip over if there wasn't a large landmass to oppose Asia's weight.. .
I actually have just downloaded a software on which there are two historic globes: The oldest one I guess from 1492 and another from 1689. Funny: On the second one you can read to the part of known Australia: Hollandia Nova and on New Zealand Zeelandia Nova [which is more near the actual dutch Provine of Zeeland).
