This simple map depicts what 5th century European scholars, leaders and traders understood the extent of their world to be. The shape of the lands in the map is, generally speaking, geographically accurate, but people of the times did not have a clear understanding of this. For example, although they knew where India was, they did not have any knowledge of its shape. And although they knew that China lay to the east, they had no grasp of its size; nor did they comprehend the extent of Russia beyond the Steppes.
