Enjoyed discussing the Hereford Mappa Mundi today. Here's a version converted into modern political borders, to give you a sense of how the world looked from Hereford c. 1300 (source: www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co...)
Oh this is a blast !
Excellent, we went to see it again at the weekend
Fascinating..
Did they not know about China then?
Did you use the digital erosion where you can toggle to the 3d view of the parchment? I always loved teaching this.
Aw, this makes me very happy!
