Believe it or not America is mostly familiar with Europe.

At least this part of Europe. Eastern and South-Eastern Europe is rather sketchy for me, but this is irrelevant.

well at least 90 % of the americans between 18 and 25 can find the USA on a map
and more than 80 % CANT find the iraq
so yes i would be surprised if americans could find germany or france or even italy on a map

I guess they kinda shunted France over to the side until they figured out where the borders were. I mean, the French border gets blurred pretty often...maps are out of date as soon as they're printed...

huh? but they placed it over poland!!
and the last time the french border changed was when germany took it (quite easy) and this was decades ago in the last milenia!

dude, its probably 20% of young american's can't find the US on a map. And believe me, it makes me sick to think that.

but 90? If there only asking the crackheads and whorebags then that sounds about right.

Fortunatly, that 20% of retards means I will be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams because they will need layers to protect them.

This is one of Abel Tasmans maps. He was the cool guy who found New Zealand.

Finding Iraq on a map is an insignificant skill, knowing the general region is that's required for, well, anyone.

Anyway its not hard to figure out. There's two large inlets northeast of Africa, Iraq tried to invade some of the land next to one of those inlets. That's common sense and a big enough clue as to where it is.

The Piri Reis map.

Drawn by an Ottoman admiral in 1513 who had thanks to his status access to the royal library.
This map shows south america, africa and parts of an ice free antarctica, and longitude as well lattitude information.
The USAF studied this chart and replied that they have no idea how this chart could have been made with the knowledge of that time.

Piri reis mentions in his journals that he made this chart using dozens of ancient charts that originally belonged to the library of Alexandria.
Due to the fact that he made it using several charts, some islands are pictured twice.

When was OP's map drawn (I don't want to lurk moar in the pic to find a date)?

And what's Swedens coat of arms doing in Russia? They're by the right edge of the map.

i was gonna post one but it's not /hr/ material.

search "world according to america map" in google images and you'dd find it though, 1000 hours in MS paint

also, in looking for it, i find out that "here be dragons" actually was a phrase used on old maps to denote dangerous/unexplored areas.

I would guess that the OP's map would be from the 17th century, which would mean that the Coat of Arms was used to denote the land border with Russia..

Hardly, Piri Reis was drawing a map of region unexplored in his time.
He did a remarkable good job on it.
