every time I see old maps like this one, it blows my mind how accurate they are in an era with no satellites or aerial photos or anything. sure, everything’s a bit misshapen, but holy cow!
Also consider that this is an amalgamation of collective knowledge from their efforts that has to all be pieced together individually. Really amazing to see the level and detail and general accuracy!
Linguistic nerds, is this written in Arabic or Ottoman Turkish?
Also Tasmanian Peninsula!
Ottoman Turkish, although the geographical terms and country names wouldn’t have differed much.
