Paradise misplaced
Article Abstract:
Early maps tended not to be accurate, though they were often beautiful. Maps reflect cultures, and their location of the center of the world varies according to who creates the map. Much was not known about the world, such as the fit between the Americas and Africa, which led to theories of plate tectonics. Mapping had advanced by the late 18th century when Captain Cook sought to verify that there was not a large southern continent. There was less scope for imagination in drawing maps.
