The limit of our culture.

Description

In this world map,I put an ancient Chinese map in the East-Asian part of our world,and an ancient European map in the Western part of this world map.
And I think this shows that we can only see the near world correctly,but not the farther ones.

Still,I hope someone can offer me more Ancient maps in different cultures in this planet.And I will upgrade my work.
Thank you.:)

我把中国古代的地图放在东亚的位置,再把欧洲古代的地图放到欧洲的位置。
很明显,东亚古代的地图很好的描述了东亚的地形,但欧洲古代的地图很好的描述了欧洲的地形,可是我们的世界并不能完全靠自己所在的位置来描述。

除此之外,我希望有谁能提供更多别的古文明描绘自己世界的地图,以此来完善我的作品。
谢谢你们!:)

Nice idea. :)
I guess this is mainly about the Empires proper. I was under the impression that the map you used for China also had Africa on it. Zhang Qian traveled to Central Asia and established trade with the remains of Alexander the Great's kingdoms there, didn't he? There were also Zheng He's Treasure fleets. I like your choice of map. :) I think 大明混一圖 is quite interesting, particularly the way it's oriented.

Ancient Persian and Indian maps would make things interesting. Maps for civilizations in Africa too.

Here is a map for Polynesia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
