That’s part of what I find so fascinating about this map. It’s amazing to see how little we know about the world as it was even 2000 years ago.

- KineticLensman 3y agoBut we do know, it's just not shown on this page! E.g. the Mayan and Aztec civilisations. There is a massive amount of history than can be traced to the physical structures they built. One cannot seriously claim that there was no History in Britain until the Romans arrived (or that nothing was / is known about it), which is what this map suggests. The ancient Greek Pytheas [0] visited Britain in approx 330 BC. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pytheas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pytheas
- brokencode 3y agoIt shows labels in the regions, just not borders. I’m assuming this is because the exact borders are unknown. Try zooming in more to see the labels.
- shipman05 3y agoThe map clearly shows Mayan and Teotihuacanan civilizations in pre-colonial eras. Is the map perfect? Of course not, but I'm confused by your insistence that it's ignoring Mayan and Aztec civilizations when it plainly shows them and their predecessors.
