al-Khwarizmi was merely an Arabised name, but he was actually a Persian from Khorosan, in what is now Uzbekistan. BTW, I love all of your videos, and it's always a pleasure to watch one.
Interesting to note that in the "T and O" map at 4:05 each of the three masses of land are assigned between the three sons of Noah: Sem, Cham and Iafeth. The influence of religion...
I would love to see a more expanded video on cartography. I love maps, especially old ones that give insight into how people used to view the world. If you're ever up to it I'd totally watch a video that looks into either the entire history, or perhaps just some important moments, with more detail. Love your vids btw, i hope this channel keeps on growing!
I wouldn't ever think I'd be watching video about the history of cartography in youtube. So my good sir. You are doing awesome work keeping this entertaining and educating. Thank you.
That map, the Cantino map is Portuguese, and has got flags in the Portuguese cities and has got the line of separation of the world between Portugal and Spain
I got to admit it, that Chinese stone carve map of the rivers in 3:22 looks like it was taken from space even though it wasn't. Look at that exquisite details!😮
A key development was to accurately measure longitude. Latitude was easy to determine from the height of the Sun at noon, or the stars, but your east-west displacement was more difficult. If you knew what time it was at your home-port when it was noon out in your location on the open ocean, you knew you had 15° of difference for every hour of difference. But accurate clocks, particularly those that could work on the pitch and roll of a ship, were difficult. A prize was offered by the King of England to devise such a clock, and that was first won by James Harrison, in 1700. The Europeans could now venture for weeks, out of sight of land, and not get lost. Dependable travel caused exploration, trade, and conquest to explode.

I do have to wonder: how would we react if we never went on an age of exploration but still invented satellites that suddenly made us realize there was another continent? I know, it's border-line impossible, but it's still an interesting idea...
I think it would be interesting to investigate about piri reis' map. I would really like a video about it. Thanks for all these videos, they're awesome.

The Imperial units replaced the Winchester Standards, which were in effect from 1588 to 1825.[2] The system came into official use across the British Empire. By the late 20th century, most nations of the former empire had officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement, although some imperial units are still used in the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries formerly part of the British Empire.

"It would be hard to imagine people in the past never being able to see what the world look like" The same can be said to us, modern human, about Universe, or Solar system even. We're still not able to see what a whole Solar system exactly look like. We can only go by scientist's calculation, estimation and imagination. One day, future generation may laugh at us for some of our incorrect assumption.

The Weights and Measures Act of 1824 was initially scheduled to go into effect on 1 May 1825.[3] However, the Weights and Measures Act of 1825 pushed back the date to 1 January 1826.[4] The 1824 Act allowed the continued use of pre-imperial units provided that they were customary, widely known, and clearly marked with imperial equivalents.[3]
Apothecaries' units[edit]
Imperial standards of length 1876 in Trafalgar Square, London.
Apothecaries' units are mentioned neither in the act of 1824 nor 1825. At the time, apothecaries' weights and measures were regulated "in England, Wales, and Berwick-upon-Tweed" by the London College of Physicians, and in Ireland by the Dublin College of Physicians. In Scotland, apothecaries' units were unofficially regulated by the Edinburgh College of Physicians. The three colleges published, at infrequent intervals, pharmacopoeiae, the London and Dublin editions having the force of law.[5][6]
