Geeking out to old Maps..
Thought some of you may find this interesting.. a lot of old maps have been scanned and uploaded here

[link to www.loc.gov (secure)]

Just think it is cool to look back at them and see if from their view, the way it was then.

They had a Sun God in Japan, Saraswati or so.

Different region but I think also fascinating: I saw one of the eldest maps of Africa once (something with P)
It had a giant reptile on it in the South West, coast region.

Another map of the land shaped lke a giant reptile head where the muzz refer to as their God.
Totally weird stuphs.

Welcome, have fun and feel free to share some of what you are looking at. I have gone thru few and am amazed at all the pictures they drew around the map. One was a big face blowing, I am assuming it was demonstrate wind direction.. but who knows.. and some of the fish they drew do not look like any fish I have seen.

Oh! You’re about to fall down the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes!

Wait till you find the old maps of America that show castles scattered across it.
