MAPPA MVNDI

The 'Mappa Mundi' was the first map created. It is based on a lot of myths and beliefs, such as strange, mythical creatures at the world's end, and the world being flat, with the world's edge a common fear for sailors. It is also very unclear, as it uses old type that would have been understood in the earlier years, rather than the simplified English we are used to today. Most of the 'Mappa Mundi' is covered on writing. Whether this places or description. One last vital feature of the 'Mappa Mundi' is it is also based on the belief that the world is entirely solid, with small streams and a big river. The 'Mappa Mundi' was drawn on a large piece of animal skin, spanning 1.58 by 1.33 metres.
