Hello!!!
Today I have watched a TV show on the History Channel about the maps from the 15th and 16th century called MAP MAKERS.
In this show they explained about how modern map making came to be and how and why America was named and found.
This also explained about the medieval maps and views about the world.
What I especially loved about this program was that it talked about the maps and the information surrounding these maps in great detail.![]()
The information about the maps also included the map maker and Amerigo Vespucci, who is the man who really discovered America.
This program also explained how the people of that time believed that there was only three continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa).
See ya later!!! ![]()
