Holy shit my brain had a tough time with realizing that the normal map thing where the light part is land and the dark part is water isn’t what’s happening here 😅
Love how they dug a canal between Scotland and England.
Pretty close except scandinavia. It’s a mess up there.
I think it’s just not aligned, they didn’t get the scale perfect. That pointy bit over the ocean and the bit hanging down from it are actually pretty close to right, just need to be moved over and twisted a bit.
All in all, I don’t think I could do any better.
What kind of projection is being used? Because each type of map geometry distorts elements, such as the way Greenland looks huge on the Mercator maps.
It’s the Mercator projection. The map behind it is just a normal map we’re used to seeing since it matches up fairly well it must be the same projection.
It’s noticeable different at the top though, so I doubt they were using the same projection as us.
Quite accurate about the land they ruled over and the Mediterranean as a whole.
