jan 1, 1507 - The Ruysch Map of 1507
Description:
The Ruysch map was created by Johannes Ruysch in 1507 and was published by Ptolemy's Geographia in Rome, Italy. It was one of the first detailed map of the world. The map shows possibly three different phantom islands. The islands of Antilla, Satanazes, and the Isle of Demons. This is strange since Satanazes and the Isle of Demons are considered to be one island altogether. The map is loosely based of of the journeys of Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus as well as other maps of its time.Added to timeline:
