Searching for the Holy Grail
Hey, King Arthur, I found this map in the Altered maps thread:
Have you ever thought of making an Earth map based on such a depiction? It wraps around and, more importantly, it'd be spot-on for the pre-aviation era, when the focus was on ruling the oceans.
In replacing Great Britain in Balth's original Lost Worlds map I looked at lots of different earth projections. At one stage I was toying with a journey to the centre of the earth possibility with some abstraction of an underground tunnel underneath the Arctic Circle. I also briefly had mapped out Amasia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amasia_(continent)#/media/File:Amasia.jpg) in the biq but it didn't work out. Eventually, I plumped for copying, tile by tile, Kal-e's lovely 140x140 Earth map. It fitted very well but I had to cut off a bit of Argentina (which conveniently allowed me the excuse for placing it at the bottom of the ocean).
edit: apologies to any Chileans as I believe part of you sunk with Argentina too.
Spoiler :
edit2: the earth is more pacific than shown above.
