Pretty cool story; but I'm pretty amazed by the detail in the Italian map of the area.

  It's a very cool map, but it is actually scandinavian in origin (Swedish). I also noted the "italian map" remark in the article. It is in latin tho, and created in Rome. It is the oldest "complete" map where scandinavia is depicted with any kind of accuracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carta_marina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carta_marina

Especially at higher resolutions, can see many country details around the Baltics and Scandinavia, down to Poland, and part of Scotland and England. Strange animals and details of different warfare.

    The land where St.Petersburg is doesn't seem to exist, and the white sea looks like a lake. That's pretty interesting.
