Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world.

It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before.

It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography.

Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand.

Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
