Interesting article. I wasn't aware of the existence of this map. It seems to be actually very similar to the Korean Kangnido world map. Could someone kindly make a link and a reference to the Kangnido map in the article? Thank you. PHG (talk) 08:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Good point. I've started a "See Also" section. David Trochos (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Southern Africa
I've just responded to a citation request about the depiction of the Drakensberg range and the general outline of southern Africa by rewriting the section to be less specific. Most of the information available online about this map was published as a result of the South African Parliament's acquisition of a copy, and it was natural for the South African media to identify the mountains as the Drakensberg. However, I'd prefer to see a more neutral analysis if anybody can find one- strictly speaking, the mountains are actually depicted too far west for the Drakensberg. This may just be a copying error, linked to the reduced size of Africa as compared, for example, with the slightly later Kangnido, on which elements are not squashed together so much.
