Cannibals, cyclopes, giants, sea monsters, and questionable geography... The 16th-century German cartographer Sebastian Münster created some of the most memorable and influential maps of all time. His work is crucial to the history of cartography and continues to shape map-making centuries later.

Hi. I watched your video from 2 years ago about Terra Australis. You mentioned Schöner's globe of 1523 as lost, but it was found again by George Nunn in 1927 according to wiki (great article - Schöner's globe) Schöner's manuscript globe from 1520 is on there and shows Terra Australis. Notable is that the northern coast looks a bit like Australia..

Its mind boggling that people now a days doubt there were Cannibals, it was a common practice in a lot of places and dare i say it may still be practiced in certain places. Maps are fascinating i wonder if there are still some yet to be discovered.

07:00 I wonder if those African "Monoculi" cyclops stories came about after the discovery of elephant skulls, as has been suggested with Homer’s cyclops, since their skulls can resemble those of a giant human with one eye socket (the trunk)l and tusks resembling large, fearsome teeth.

I believe it pushed their fantasy, but they were not dumb and encountered Elefants, even in antiquity. Besides that People love telling Stories, i also believe that people just misunderstood what they got told. You can see this with some medieval depictions, a Rhinoceros literally depicted as a fat Horse with Armor and Horns. You can even see a Glimpse of Truth behind Stories as the Odyssey. Some Years ago they showed a Documentary about Scientists that took the Route described in the Odyssey and found out that the Currents and Whirlpools described in there were real.

07:35 I’m guessing those lakes they’re citing as the source of the Nile are Lake Victoria and…? Lake Nakuru? I forget the other large one. Lake Malawi? Although that’s not near where I’m thinking of. I’m thinking those lumpy mountains and "hills" drawn below the two lakes are actually the Rift Valley and Kilimanjaro.
