The phantom atlas : the greatest myths, lies and blunders on maps

by Edward Brooke-Hitching

This volume examines historical cartographic errors through a collection of antique maps depicting non-existent islands, mythical civilisations, and fabricated mountain ranges. It investigates the misconceptions and deceptions that shaped these fictitious geographical records.
