Comment on Zoomable, translated version of the 15th century Mappa Mundi

Comments

This was a really enjoyable couple of minutes. I was able to find some of the more ancient cities I've visited (Ceuta, for example), and see how they're represented.

Now that we've seen how quickly digitized information becomes un-usuable, it's interesting to reflect that the actual physical Mappa Mundi will far outlive (barring fires/disasters) any of it's digital reflections.
