Since Ptolemy, knowledge of the approximate size of the globe allowed cartographers to estimate the extent of their geographical knowledge, and to indicate parts of the globe known to exist but not yet explored as terra incognita.
With the Age of Discovery, during the 15th to 18th centuries, world maps became increasingly accurate; exploration of Antarctica and the interior of Africa was left to the 19th and early 20th century.
Antiquity
Babylonian Imago Mundi (c. 600 BCE)
A Babylonian world map, known as the Imago Mundi, is commonly dated to the 6th century BCE.
The map as reconstructed by Eckhard Unger shows Babylon on the Euphrates, surrounded by a circular landmass showing Assyria, Urartu (Armenia) and several cities, in turn surrounded by a "bitter river" (Oceanus), with seven islands arranged around it so as to form a seven-pointed star. The accompanying text mentions seven outer regions beyond the encircling ocean. The descriptions of five of them have survived:
A world map is a map of most or all of the surface of the Earth. World maps form a distinctive category of maps due to the problem of projection. Maps by necessity distort the presentation of the earth's surface. These distortions reach extremes in a world map. The many ways of projecting the earth reflect diverse technical and aesthetic goals for world maps.
World maps are also distinct for the global knowledge required to construct them. A meaningful map of the world could not be constructed before the European Renaissance because less than half of the earth's coastlines, let alone its interior regions, were known to any culture. New knowledge of the earth's surface has been accumulating ever since and continues to this day.
Maps of the world generally focus either on political features or on physical features. Political maps emphasize territorial boundaries and human settlement. Physical maps show geographic features such as mountains, soil type or land use. Geological maps show not only the surface, but characteristics of the underlying rock, fault lines, and subsurface structures. Choropleth maps use color hue and intensity to contrast differences between regions, such as demographic or economic statistics.
The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to history in the Old World from the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD (the most used), the closure of the Platonic Academy in 529 AD, the death of the emperor Justinian I in 565 AD, the coming of Islam or the rise of Charlemagne as the end of ancient and Classical European history.

Whilst brainstorming ideas for new videos I often look over old maps to look for any specific curiosities and until now I’ve never really paid much attention to the North Pole, but why on 16th century maps of the world do we see a very specific land formation north of Greenland, in exactly the position on the North Pole?
I tried to find all the maps that feature this formation and so far I have counted seven, the most famous being the various incarnations of the Gerardus Mercator map of the 16th century.

Ancient Maps: A World You've Never Seen Before
Ancient maps found in a 1000 year old Buddhists temple reveal more land and hidden continents. Have we been lied to? A world you've never seen before, hidden beyond reach. Imagine the possibilities. A breakaway civilization? An alien society? Kobayashi. Is it really a small world after all? Do your own research. The truth is out there.

This mysterious landmass ties in with the Greek mythological account of the Hyperboreans, a race of giants who lived beyond the North Wind. Their land was supposed to be perfect, with the sun shining 24 hours a day, which therefore suggests they lived within the Arctic Circle. Of course, the existence of Hyperborea is looked on by academia as pure mythology and as we can see on Google Earth, there is certainly no landmass at the North Pole.
Where is this island now? Did it really exist? Was it home to the hyperboreans? Watch this video to learn more about this unknown land of the North Pole.

Documentary Movies: The Ancient Advanced Pre Ice Age Civilization that Vanished From Earth: Shocking Archeology Document: Ancient Advanced Civilization Evidence: Strange Old Maps & Artifacts: Secret Mysterious Lost Knowledge:
It has become a popular belief that ancient civilization across the globe were in fact much more advanced than what mainstream researchers are crediting them for. Numerous maps discovered in the past are clear indications that the story told today by scholars is incomplete, and there are numerous missing links in our history. These ‘missing links’ are being put together by these incredible ancient maps that prove mankind inhabited our planet much longer than what mainstream scholars believe.
However, the existence of these incredible maps proves that in the distant past, ancient explorers had an extremely well-developed cartography system comparable in precision with the one we have today. The maps are also evidence that ancient mankind knew the exact shape and size of the Earth, contrary to popular beliefs, and used spherical trigonometry, and precise and elaborate mathematical calculations, as if thousands of years ago, an unknown civilization undertook a global-scale project of mapping the entire planet like no one has ever done before.

Since Ptolemy, knowledge of the approximate size of the globe allowed cartographers to estimate the extent of their geographical knowledge, and to indicate parts of the globe known to exist but not yet explored as terra incognita.
With the Age of Discovery, during the 15th to 18th centuries, world maps became increasingly accurate; exploration of Antarctica and the interior of Africa was left to the 19th and early 20th century.
Antiquity
Babylonian Imago Mundi (c. 600 BCE)
A Babylonian world map, known as the Imago Mundi, is commonly dated to the 6th century BCE.
The map as reconstructed by Eckhard Unger shows Babylon on the Euphrates, surrounded by a circular landmass showing Assyria, Urartu (Armenia) and several cities, in turn surrounded by a "bitter river" (Oceanus), with seven islands arranged around it so as to form a seven-pointed star. The accompanying text mentions seven outer regions beyond the encircling ocean. The descriptions of five of them have survived:
Captain Robert took his men And flew to Prague and back again Some fell off, some dropped dead And some put bullets through their head A skeleton crew is what came back And once in port he filled his sack With bribes in cash and foreign coin Things to make a new crew join Captain Robert took his crew To Shangri-la and Timbuktu Some went crazy, some got mad Some they kicked off ship in Chad A skeleton crew is what came back Who lived through mutiny, plague and flak Strong and calloused, brave and tired All those who could stay inspired Captain Robert took his ship To Beijing and to Mozambique Stir-crazy all in irons he clapped them One of them tried to kiss the captain Captain Robert looked at his crew And saw that everyone was new The crew got broke through misadventure No-one could take another gut-wrencher A skeleton crew is what came back Who lived through mutiny, plague and flak Strong and calloused, brave and tired All those who could stay inspired A skeleton crew is what came back And once in port he filled his sack With bribes in cash and foreign coin Things to make a new crew join Captain Robert took his crew To Shangri-la and Timbuktu Some went crazy, some got mad Some they kicked off ship in Chad
