These maps were meant to depict the world's geography, but weren't necessarily useful for navigation and contained some glaring mistakes. Kayla Wolf shares mapmaking’s biggest blunders.Lesson by Kayla Wolf, directed by Serin İnan, Kozmonot Animation Studio.Tabula Rogeriana image from Konrad Miller: https://bit.ly/KonradMillerSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-biggest-mistakes-in-mapmaking-history-kayla-wolfDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-biggest-mistakes-in-mapmaking-history-kayla-wolf#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.kozmonot.tv----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
