Note that the map image at the top of that article is not at all medieval; it's from the 18th century. The one the article talks about (13th century) is farther down: http://discovermagazine.com/sitefiles/resources/image.aspx?item={8D1F57A0-B157-4C9A-AF19-2D24F94CDA37}&mw=900&mh=600 http://discovermagazine.com/sitefiles/resources/image.aspx?i...
- kencausey 12y agoI just about flipped a table when I glanced at that image and then started reading about a supposedly 13th century map. I find the use of that image at the top suspicious, perhaps akin to link-bait.
