Note that the map image at the top of that article is not at all medieval; it's from the 18th century. The one the article talks about (13th century) is farther down: http://discovermagazine.com/sitefiles/resources/image.aspx?i...


I just about flipped a table when I glanced at that image and then started reading about a supposedly 13th century map. I find the use of that image at the top suspicious, perhaps akin to link-bait.


I'm with you - it's also extraordinarily obvious given the level of detail/explored regions represented - relatively surprising that the author did this given the level of detail the article goes into...but may not have been her call though
