ULTIMATE Collection Old Maps of the World: Ancient Earth Atlas, Secret Map, Antique and Rare, Adventure Directions by William Perkins
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 11 Mb
Overview: A truley fantastic collection of 109 old maps covering every inch of the globe. Ancient maps of superior quality, ranging from 1 MB to 15 MB.
The earliest known maps are of the heavens, not the earth. Dots dating to 16,500 BCE found on the walls of the Lascaux caves map out part of the night sky, including the three bright stars Vega, Deneb, and Altair (the Summer Triangle asterism), as well as the Pleiades star cluster. The Cuevas de El Castillo in Spain contain a dot map of the Corona Borealis constellation dating from 12,000 BCE.
Cave painting and rock carvings used simple visual elements that may have aided in recognizing landscape features, such as hills or dwellings. A map-like representation of a mountain, river, valleys and routes around Pavlov in the Czech Republic has been dated to 25,000 BP, and a 14,000 BP polished chunk of sandstone from a cave in Spanish Navarre may represent similar features superimposed on animal etchings, although it may also represent a spiritual landscape, or simple incisings.
