- Cannibals, cyclopes, giants, sea monsters, and questionable geography... The 16th-century German cartographer Sebastian Münster created some of the most memorable and influential maps of all time. His work is crucial to the history of cartography and continues to shape map-making centuries later.

Thank you RareMaps.com for supporting another video! This video would have not been possible with them.
Hi. I watched your video from 2 years ago about Terra Australis.
You mentioned Schöner's globe of 1523 as lost, but it was found again by George Nunn in 1927 according to wiki (great article - Schöner's globe)
Schöner's manuscript globe from 1520 is on there and shows Terra Australis.
Notable is that the northern coast looks a bit like Australia..
I like old maps and i can not lie
"cannot"
@onlyonewhyphy you guys created a hideous language and yet force everyone to use it perfectly. That guy surely knows more languages than you.
@@neversarium don't worry both are correct...

Always good to see old maps and writings ,Thankya Kindly GG
Old maps are so cool. Wish we made maps like that today
They print old maps all day long in China.
Thank you for this video. I love old cartography. And a huge shout out to you for giving rare maps attribution!
No one ever wonder how these maps were made, centuries ago, without flying above the land?? Mmm!
You could use the internet to find out how thry did such a supernatural thing...
Yeah, cause you always find the truth on the internet!
@@talkinghead3169 yeah, came to this channel hoping to find a truther, guess not Moving on...
It's called cartography. Read about it.
Look up khanubis, he did a great video on it ❤
Giants are well known from the tip of SA, there's 2 living tribes famous for being tall and some of their members play now professor basketball.
2. christian king in africa Europeans would receive ambassadors from him and they knew his general location, south of Egypt
3. giant lobsters some would grow truly huge in north america
309k subs and only 33k views in 2 weeks? What has the algorithm got against this guy?
I bet it's because North America looks like an AR 15 in these maps
07:00 I wonder if those African "Monoculi" cyclops stories came about after the discovery of elephant skulls, as has been suggested with Homer’s cyclops, since their skulls can resemble those of a giant human with one eye socket (the trunk)l and tusks resembling large, fearsome teeth.
😮💡🤔 that makes a lot of sense.
Aren’t cyclops real? My wife has delivered many babies in her career and has told me of a couple cyclops that she delivered…very real but very sad bc they don’t live too long
I believe it pushed their fantasy, but they were not dumb and encountered Elefants, even in antiquity.
Besides that People love telling Stories, i also believe that people just misunderstood what they got told.
You can see this with some medieval depictions, a Rhinoceros literally depicted as a fat Horse with Armor and Horns.
You can even see a Glimpse of Truth behind Stories as the Odyssey.
Some Years ago they showed a Documentary about Scientists that took the Route described in the Odyssey and found out that the Currents and Whirlpools described in there were real.
Its mind boggling that people now a days doubt there were Cannibals, it was a common practice in a lot of places and dare i say it may still be practiced in certain places. Maps are fascinating i wonder if there are still some yet to be discovered.
2:29what are the calling Newfoundland on this map? Corterili?
Corterealis after the explorer Corte Real.
Can you do a video with the premise behind it being, if you wanted to collect and display just one map for each country which historical maps would you choose? You could go through continent by continent. Whsts the most desirable map of , say, France and from what period and for what reasons. Thanks Cheers from Newfoundland! 😊
Prester John… more confusion… lol because in modern day Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast series “Wrath of the Khans”, he mentions how prester john was like, somehow a corruption of the name “Gengis Khan” across many geographies, languages, and translations. So now I am confused again even more. Was the mythical “prester john” from Africa? or Asia? as I had previously thought Asia since Dan Carlin had read from historical sources that linked prester john to gengis khan and it was all a huge massive mix up and misinterpretation or mistranslation amongst Europeans back in those days.
Didn't his descendants have a TV show?
The Munsters...
Cheese franchise.
no
Oh hey it's the guy from the 100 Mark bank note.
And yes I am that old.
European travellers from the past saw the elephants sculls and proclaiming that it belonged to a giants cyclops. They thought that the big hole in the centre of the elephants scull was for a eye...
I love what we know about how myths were created, IIRC there were elephants on Cyprus despite it being an island
07:35 I’m guessing those lakes they’re citing as the source of the Nile are Lake Victoria and…? Lake Nakuru? I forget the other large one. Lake Malawi? Although that’s not near where I’m thinking of. I’m thinking those lumpy mountains and "hills" drawn below the two lakes are actually the Rift Valley and Kilimanjaro.
'Can't you, you know, spice it up a bit...?'
I drew my own map, I've renamed cities to reflect their current atmosphere and culture.
For example, San Francisco is now San Streetturd, Los Angeles is now Los Skidrow ,New York city is
New Criminalhaven, Memphis Tenn is Dead on Arrival, Baltimore is, Dontvisitevenifyourlifedependsonitbecauseitdoes.
Washington D.C.is Felonyland, it's a work in progress.
Love it . Have benn browsing the site on my own periodically . Thanks
One Piece has some Sea Monsters that look like fish birds, and their bird face is the same as a fish bird monster on the sea monster map.
1:20 the indes aren't further west. that big peninsula in the middle is not "India" but the Malay peninsula, called the golden peninsula on maps of the time.
Great video!
would love to see a 'fiction map review' series, maybe start with Elden Ring
Which map shows Prester John @ 7:55 please?
Is Cyclopie and old word? Never heard it. Is that their collective name?
Octopii, Cyclopii...
Hippopotamii
Cyclopses!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Cartography was history's mud wrestling partner, 'this must be just like living in nerd paradise, and I...'
2:06 Dude. That's Antarctica.
Who else is awake at this ungodly hour?

The first comment is always the worst comment.

Congratulations you ruined your already perfect comment 🤡
Human meat is called Long pork
Long pig, we taste like pork, but sweeter, once you have eaten this, you get a taste for it and need to continue eating it. 🍽🍽🍽
I don't believe ANY human beings ever wanted to eat each other!
Bro is thanking us for watching, like he didnt educate a milion people by now😂
how does everyone pass over northern Africa having extensive city s and water ways on old maps where there's a desert now
A fine essay, but let's not forget that Munster also achieved this great cheese, okay?
Where is “Beragna”and the 5 tall trees before that (in the middle of the map) ? Is that supposed to be Central America? 😂 And what do the trees mean? 🤔
these people appear to have a strange mix of skill in navigation, rampant racism, incompetence, maybe? and out and out lying. i guess this far back one would have had to have been a little unhinged to even consider such a journey.
Mon-oculi (one eye) not “monocooly”
Why would they add fictional animals to a map??? They did not have any reason to.
According to Terry Pratchett it was so they could make the map seem more interesting
I'm to pronounce his last name like Herman Munster.
Der Name, der hier ja sogar prinzipiell richtig ausgesprochen wird, schreibt sich: Münster / Muenster.
Let's say the giants were real, how did they go about capturing them? ;-)
Dude looks pretty accurate???? Do you know geography bruh
That's a leg
Where be Dragons?
You mean the "Here Be Dragons" Map?
The old world maps are more real then todays maps that hide and lie about alot of stuff...
no, they're not.
The confident incompetence of the early explorers is incredible
I got a good chuckle out of that.
Were they incompetent or have you been misled by those who have rewritten history and maps and everything else??
I'd like to see you do better
Well, the weren't many people contesting them
Misunderstanding & misinformation, not incompetence.
cyclopeeeeees - lol
@@arnoackermann6584 I swear it’s how you say it lol

And these are the kind of maps that the Tartarian empire and flat earth believers quote from. Excellent.
Except when they found thousands of human bones longer than 9ft tall in the 1700's and 1800's. All of which the Smithsonian had destroyed and the government put high security around the origin sites.
@@graciegj63 You mean the giant sloth bones? Or the ones that were proven to be hoaxes?
Also I didn't mention giants.
@@Ziorac These were definitely human-like. Who proves these things hoaxes? The very government(who hold information from us) you trust? C'mon, lots of different types of people have historical accounts of these things. Nephilim. Anakim(son's of Anak). Red haired giants.
And then another thing is that the places these things were found are fenced off and government property.
@graciegj63 do you ever ask yourself what evidence you have seen that proves the Smithsonian destroyed those bones?
@@celsus7979 Old newspapers that date back to the time these things were dug up. Plus the maximum security that's surrounding the dig sites.
"There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Also we fight against things that aren't of the physical but the spiritual realm.
Lots of weird organizations that are pushing the world in the wrong direction are situated in Switzerland.
Why not take a few hours to learn how to pronounce Latin, either Classical pronunciation or Church pronunciation?
Thing is there were no continents and Africa was only a country west of the land mass.
Are you kidding, these things are fake
I have no idea what you're talking about
