Glossy magazine. Glossy magazine Detailed map of Europe in the 8th century

What the map of Europe looked like from the first years of our era to the year 2000. It is especially interesting to pay attention to the appearance of Belarus on the map of Europe. For some reason, many of my readers believe that Belarus existed before Russia. It is curious that Americans are not worried about their short history, but Belarusians are. What's the catch?

The map of Europe in the first year of our era looked like this. In fact, there was nothing except the Roman Empire, scattered wild tribes.

For a hundred years, practically nothing has changed; the Roman Empire only added to its territory. 100 year.

300 years. You can already see how the Frankish tribes formed into some kind of state formation.

500 years. On the territory of the split Roman Empire, movement begins in Europe. The territory of modern Russia is full of forests. Scattered tribes without any sign of statehood.

800 years. France, the largest state in Europe. Let us pay attention to the Caliphate, which had expanded by this period. By the way, the state created by Muhammad in the mid-700s also occupied the territory of almost all of Spain. During this period, the Poles begin to load up.

900 years. The Russians strained to gather into something that could already be called a state. And in Europe life is already in full swing.

1000 years.

1100 years. Russia is a collection of disparate principalities with constant civil strife.

1200 years. The Balts organized themselves into the Principality of Lithuania. They are a small thing on the map of Europe, but in the future they will play a significant role in the geopolitical game.

1300 years.

1400 years. The Principality of Poland-Lithuania becomes a large state in Europe. Why is it either Lithuanian or Polish-Lithuanian? Santa Barbara was always there, the prince gave his daughters in marriage to the prince, and they kissed on the gums and then shitted for life and death, so we don’t pay attention, that’s how they lived. Well, in fact, they are pressing the Russians on one side, and the Golden Horde on the other. In place of modern Germany, it’s a complete scattered mess, worse than with the Russian principalities. France and England are already full-fledged states. Hungary and the Ottoman Empire are major players.

1500 years. Poland separately, the Principality of Lithuania separately, I already said, we don’t pay attention, a profitable marriage did not turn up :). The Principality of Moscow combines the concept of Russia.

1600 years. The Moscow principality already specifically combines the concept of Rus'. He is seriously at odds with the Principality of Poland-Lithuania. In Europe, the major players are France, England, Spain, and the Ottoman Empire. The territory of modern Germany is full of forests and fragmentation, just like in Italy. In these places, by the way, the Venetian Republic was quite influential.

1700 years old.

1800 years. England is already becoming Great Britain. In Eastern Europe, everything is generally simple. There is still no Germany as such.

1900 years old. At the turn of the twentieth century, Europe looked like this. Until that time, Europe did not know Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia and a number of Balkan countries as such. Germany is already appearing here. Germany as a state is not much older than Belarus. Well, in the near future, Europe will be shaken by events that you already have an idea about, these are the first and second world wars, which will radically change the map of Europe.

year 2000. In the twentieth century, major empires collapsed. We didn't even see the Soviet Union, which didn't last a century.

Well, of course, there were also local territorial formations, all kinds of Latgale, Courland. Or a state like LitBel, which was invented by the communists and lasted only two months, but they did not particularly appear in the general theater of action in Europe.

If anyone is interested there is a cool website.

Today we will talk about ancient Russian maps. The post will be short. Simply because, in general, they simply don’t exist. I have seen thousands, if not tens of thousands, of foreign maps from this period. The situation with our cards is even stranger.
The first Russian atlas that is publicly available is the Kirilov Atlas, created between 1724 and 1737. (Download link). The atlas is not complete, unfortunately, it does not contain maps of all regions and localities of our country. But this is essentially the beginning of Russian cartography, no matter how strange it may sound.
There is indeed the so-called Drawing Book of Siberia (1699-1701), Remezov. (Download link) And also “Chorographic Book of Siberia” (1697-1711). But their dating and correspondence to reality raise a lot of questions for me personally. As an example, I give a map of Perm the Great from the Drawing Book. All pictures are clickable to large sizes.

These are the cards children draw in 1st grade. North is on the right here (but this is very conditional). In general, in his works, Remezov clearly did not bother with the orientation of his “maps” to the cardinal points. From map to map they constantly jump around the sides of the sheet. Concepts such as scale and proportion are completely absent from the word. At the same time, maps were already being created in the West that were almost close in accuracy to modern ones.
User palexy one excerpt:
I have a map by D.G. Messeshmidt from 1721 (a section of the Ob tributaries of the Tom and Ini) which almost completely copies the map Remezova. The date of Messerschmidt’s expedition is indisputable since there are tons of documents on it, but here is an excerpt from the diary given by Nevlyanskaya: “Captain Tabbert went today with cornet Iorist to an artist named Remezov, from whom he saw a map of the Tomsk district drawn in oil paints; he looked through it quickly, but did not find anything in it that was depicted correctly" (Novlyanskaya M. G. Philipp Johann Stralenberg. M.; Leningrad, 1966. P. 36.) .

Well, finally, on this map there are no cities and towns I have discovered. Hundreds of foreign maps have them, but Remezov does not. Peter the Great in 1708. They are mentioned in. But in fairness, I must say that it was on this map that I found the Molozhek River.

There is such a Drawing of the Siberian land, compiled in 1667 under the leadership of the Tobolsk governor, steward Peter Ivanovich Godunov. From the official drawing book of S. U. Remezov (Manuscript Department of the State Public Library named after M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, Hermitage Collection, No. 237, l 31 spread).

North is down here. As for Remezov’s drawing book, of course they got excited. As I already wrote, there was no orientation to the cardinal directions at all.
And another version of the same card:

There is a more (I wanted to write a perfect, but this is not so) detailed version of this map on the network. Also attributed to Remezov. If you look from the point of view of the absence of any scales and proportions, then yes, Remezov agrees. But the clear presence of cardinal directions suggests the opposite.

While looking for materials on the city of Perm the Great, I came across a small fragment of a map from the server of the Ural State University , which is designated as - Map of Perm the Great. XVI century Reproduction.

Again, the North is down here. And there is the city of Perm. There it is, under the word "Cheremisy". Unfortunately, it was not possible to get the entire map. And I still haven’t found out where they dug it up from there.
I saw a few more similar maps on the Internet, but they were too cloudy and terribly primitive. That's why I didn't even bother saving them.
Now comes the fun part.

Here it is in full size:

Do you feel the difference? Heaven and earth with drawings by Remezov. Even the parallels are correct. Unfortunately, the resolution of the map is not very high and many small inscriptions are not visible at all. But you can find out something.
Belgorod Horde on the territory of modern Odessa region of Ukraine:

Little Tartaria (that is, TaTtaria) in the Black Sea steppes.

And to the right of it, separated by a border, is an area called the Yurts of the Don Cossacks. Moreover, it stretches right up to the Volga, most likely.

By the way, I’ll give you part of one map of 1614 from my post: .

Those. a hundred years earlier, these two areas were a single state. And precisely from his “Tatar yoke”.
By the way, the Tatars were previously called Cossacks. I have a question about this. There at the end it is directly written that the Little Russian Cossacks live on the lands where the Tatar Cossacks used to live. Or maybe they were their descendants. Who knows.

That's all.

And finally, the Book: Ancient Russian hydrography: Containing a description of the Moscow state of rivers, channels, lakes, deposits, and what cities and tracts there are along them and at what distance thereof. - St. Petersburg: Published by Nikolai Novikov: [Type. Academician Sciences], 1773 . Now it is better known as the “Book of the Big Drawing.” This is the same map of the 16th, early 17th centuries, only handwritten. In fact, it is possible that Remezov drew his drawings precisely from such texts.
By the way, there is an interesting passage in the preface:

This is exactly the same situation with our cards. They simply weren't there. More precisely, they probably still were. But either they were destroyed, or they lie deep in the archives. Simply because the history of Russia is completely different there. Where were the cities that I rediscovered? By the way, the last one, but this did not stop modern historians from stubbornly insisting that he did not exist.

Yesterday I was told that the archives of the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences contain as many as 10,000 ancient maps. I don’t yet know exactly what kind of maps these are, ours or foreign ones and from what centuries, but I really hope that there will also be Russian ancient maps from the 16th-17th and early 18th centuries. My friends are now trying to scan it all and post it online. God grant that they succeed. And then we will learn a little more truth about the history of that time.

Addition :

Today we will look at two Russian maps of the early 18th century from the archives of the Russian National Library. Although the word “we’ll see” here is very conditional. I have a very strong desire to put the entire leadership of this library against the wall and shoot them with a heavy machine gun. They are saboteurs, not scientists.

Let's see firstMap of the hemispheres in 1713, published in the Civil Printing House of V.O. Kipriyanova. The map is large, but the resolution of the image, on the contrary, is small. Therefore, it is fashionable to look only at very large recordings. Click to open in higher resolution. But you can get something out of it. Pay attention to Antarctica. She's gone. I once specifically looked at similar atlases of Western cartographers. There was no Antarctica there either until the beginning of the 19th century, when our sailors discovered it. Therefore, if you see an old map where Antarctica is present, you should know that it was made in the second half of the 19th century. Or later.
I would like to draw attention to the high degree of skill of the Russian cartographers of that time. . And I repeat my thought - these are not maps, but children's drawings at the elementary school level.

And another map by the same author: A geographical globe, or earth-descriptive one, shows the four parts of the earth, Africa, Asia, America, and Europe, which are inhabited, and which embrace us from everywhere. By command in the civil printing house of the Summer of the Lord: 1707. In the reigning City of Moscow, by the Care of Vasily Kiprianov. Under the supervision of His Excellency Mr. General Lieutenant Jacob Villimovich Bruce.
It's here at this link more or less possible to consider. But after that I want to strangle the local programmers with my bare hands, for a long time. It is impossible to drag the entire map from there, so I took several screenshots from there. And there are several interesting discoveries waiting for us. Namely the word “Sarmat” right under the letter M of the word Moscow. And visible aboveOcean Sarmatian.

Here is another excerpt: The Scythian Ocean was added to the Sarmatian Ocean. To the right of the name "M. Moskovskoe". I don’t understand what this means. The word TARTARIA is written in capital letters. Through the "r". Just above the beginning of this word the names Scythia are visible. But above the letter “I” in the word “Siberia” you can see the river “Tatar”. Above the word “MOSCOW” it also seems to be written - Sarmatia. Again, why is it not written Russia or Rus'? But what the word “Asinsky” means is not clear.

Oh, it was not in vain that Lomonosov wrote in his book: . Brief Russian chronicler with genealogy, St. Petersburg: Under Imp. Academician Sciences, 1760.

And finally, a Description of Europe. It really looks very bad. Instead of France it says Gaul. There is also some kind of Dacia. Poland is written without a soft sign. At the very end it seems to be written to Hellas. For information . But Russia is here. And it, as I understand it, is in European Moscow and Tartaria, as well as Turkey. Or are these separate states on the territory of the continent?

There is a very interesting line in the description:
Drawings: above the hemispheres the coat of arms of the Russian Empire against the background of an ermine mantle supported by archangels with swords in their hands; framed by the mantle are figures of Mars, Apollo, banners and other military paraphernalia;
And here they are. And this is far from an isolated case. By name . And all this fits very well into mine , which we simply called the Golden Woman.

If anyone can here's where to pull out the whole map in more or less good resolution, I will be very grateful.

Addition: The world is not without kind people and thanks to the respected prostoyoleg You and I can see the entire map. True, in the same not very high resolution.

Addition.

And these are separate files.

The midnight ocean is cool.

Strange, yes, the Adriatic Sea or the Western Ocean?

And here is the Devkali Ocean. In general, previously, it seems to me that slightly other types of water areas were called sea and ocean.

Addition .

The Russian National Library, St. Petersburg, is slowly digitizing its collections. And he even posts them for everyone to see.
Picart P. Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania drawing / By order of his most powerful royal majesty, Peter Picart was roaming in Moscow; [Cartouche engraved. A. Schonebeck]. - Moscow: Armory Chamber, . But the map itself was definitely drawn much earlier. Kiev on it is still part of Lithuania, while according to official history it became part of the Moscow state in 1667. Moreover, I have a strong feeling that it was only engraved in Moscow and created in that same Principality of Lithuania, in the mid-17th century.

Click to open in high resolution.

There are a lot of unknown toponyms. Crimea is written here as TaTtaria. Just like on the Russian map of the late 17th century from my main post. And only in the 18th century did Tartaria begin to be called Tataria. Pay attention to Crimea, except for Kafa and Perekop, not a single familiar name. Baltic The sea was formerly called the Eastern Lake.

Notice how Konigsberg is called on this map. I went to Wiki and found amazing text there:
Under the name Korolevets (Korolevets) or Korolevits, the castle and the area around it have been mentioned for a long time, starting from the 13th century, in various Russian sources: chronicles, books, atlases. In Russia, this name was widely used before Peter I and, occasionally, in a later period, until the beginning of the 20th century, including in fiction, for example, in the texts of M. Saltykov-Shchedrin. However, after Peter I and before the renaming in 1946, Russians more often used the German version.
Heh, it was not in vain that I asserted in my investigation that the Slavs lived there.

In general, if you go and compare the map with the official history, the list of inconsistencies will be more than a dozen pages long. Well, this is a trivial matter for our history.

Addition :

It turns out there was such a city as Byzantium. Here's his plan

Plan of Constantinople or the Tsar City, which was previously named Byzantium in ancient times, but Vigos was conquered by Muhammad the second in the year of the Lord 1453 of the month of May on the 29th day] / [Drawn by Prince Dimitri Cantemir]; Grydor. Alexy Zubov in St. Petersburg. - St. Petersburg: [Petersburg Printing House], .

IN . The French were not lazy and sorted them all. There are even plans for Koenigsberg. And of Ukraine, of course. And there are several dozen maps of various areas of Russia, drawn, judging by the titles, in 1724-1729 by our cartographers. True, in English. Well, that’s okay. The main thing here is that until now some of the earliest maps of areas were considered maps of Kirilov, 1722-1731 . They are there, by the way, too, partly. There is. And here is completely new, never seen by anyone, cartographic material. And there I found the city of Staraya Rezan.

North is on the left here. By the way, this is one of the signs, as I understand it, of local maps of the 17th century. Already in the 18th century, it became a rule to orient maps of specific areas to the north. And before that, cartographers drew them as they saw fit. The most obvious example is Remizov’s maps. There the north “walks” in a circle simply chaotically. It will break your mind until you understand what and how is drawn on a specific map. In general, Russian maps of the 17th century, for the most part, are oriented to the south. Like Remezov’s map of Siberia and the Far East. At least this map is attributed to him.
As for Europe, I’ll give an example from my old posts - . The north there is also not static. years, everything settled down and accepted modern frameworks.
I have a very reasonable suspicion that all the maps that we now know were made no earlier than the end of the 17th century. True, according to the ancient originals, which by that time had simply dilapidated and become unusable. Well, some of them, of course, were simply forged in the 18th century. 19th centuries. This can be seen from the correct proportions and contours of the terrain. When you look at Russian maps, pay attention to two things. The Caspian Sea should be round and not elongated. And near Crimea, the Kerch region should be, as it were, cut off and not stretched to the left, as it is now.

This means we see the cities of Kolomna and Kashira. Further along the Oka River is the city of Pereslavl-RIzanskaya. And behind him is Old Rezan. Please note that the old name contains the letter "e". Somewhere before the beginning of the 18th century, we almost did not have the letter “I”. Therefore, there was, among other things, Yeroslavl.
The city of Staraya Rezan has a complicated history. First it was destroyed at the end of the 16th century by the Tatars, then it existed, along with the new Rezan, as a small village. But already at the beginning of the 18th century it grew into a city. Pay attention to the city icon and the footnote to the map. In this form it existed somewhere until the mid-18th century and then disappeared again. The authorities announced that it was destroyed by Batu in the 13th century. In this format of the fort, it still exists today as an archaeological monument. But there you can still see pieces of 18th century temples.
And in 1781, Catherine the Second renamed Pereslav-Ryazanskaya into simply Ryazan. Which still exists today. Thanks to her for that. Otherwise, the toponym could go down in history almost without a trace, like the city of Bulgar and Bulgaria. And then Batu, he’s like Shurik, you can blame everything on him.

Ancient maps are another inexhaustible treasure trove of beautiful sights.

There are also maps that accurately depict America, but their dating is disputed, such as the Vinland map. The dating of Juan de la Cos's map is not controversial; it reflects the geographical discoveries of Portugal, Spain and England as of the last years of the 15th century.

Such a fish symbolizes, perhaps, the eternal life of the saint. This is just my guess. If anyone can tell me the symbolism of a fish biting its tail, I will be grateful. .

P.S. Since I am not writing an essay on the history of cartography, but simply demonstrating some art objects from the world of maps, the article does not include many of the famous, important and beautiful maps. To compensate for this omission, I provide links to materials about some of the cartographic masterpieces lost in the post.

Collection of old maps

For our ancient ancestors, the world was often limited to the land that surrounded and fed them. But even the earliest human civilizations still tried to measure the scale of this world and made the first attempts to draw maps.

The first such map is believed to have been created in Babylon over 2,500 years ago, and it shows the world beyond the Babylonian kingdom as poisonous waters and dangerous islands where (they believed) people could not survive.

Over time, maps gradually became larger in scale as people's knowledge of what lay beyond the Mediterranean grew. With the beginning of the era of wanderings and exploration in the 15th century, the concept of seeing the world changed, the East began to appear on maps, and a huge unexplored ocean appeared in place of America. And with the return of Columbus, maps of the world began to take on a form that was already understandable to us, modern people.

1. The oldest known map of the world is from Babylon (6th century BC). At the center of the world is the Kingdom of Babylon itself. There is a “bitter river” around him. The seven points across the river are islands that cannot be reached.

2. World map of Hecataeus of Miletus (5-6 century BC). Hecataeus divides the world into three parts: Europe, Asia and Libya, located around the Mediterranean Sea. His world is a round disk surrounded by ocean.

3. World map of Posidonius (2nd century BC). This map expands on the early Greek vision of the world, including the conquests of Alexander the Great.

4. World map of Pomponia Mela (43 AD)

5. Ptolemy's world map (150 AD). He was the first to add latitude and longitude lines to the world map.

6. Peitinger Tablet, a 4th-century Roman map showing the road network of the Roman Empire. The full map is very long, showing lands from Iberia to India. In the center of the world, of course, is Rome.

7. Map of the world by Kozma Indicoplov (6th century AD). The world is depicted as a flat rectangle.

8. A later Christian map in the form of a multi-colored clover leaf, compiled by Henry Banting (Germany, 1581). In fact, it does not describe the world, or rather, according to this map, the world is a continuation of the Christian Trinity, and Jerusalem is its center.

9. World map of Mahmud al-Kashgari (11th century). The world is centered around the ancient city of Balasagun, now the territory of Kyrgyzstan. Also included are places (countries) predicted to appear at the end of the world, such as Gog and Magog.

10. Map “Book of Roger” by Al-Idrisi, compiled in 1154. It was created based on information received from Arab traders who traveled around the world. At that time it was the most accurate and extensive map of the world. Europe and Asia are already clearly visible, but so far only the northern part of Africa is visible.

11. Hereford world map of the 14th century by one Richard of Haldingham. Jerusalem in the center, East at the top. The circle in the southern part of the map is the Garden of Eden.

12. Chinese map “Da Ming Hunyi Tu” from the late 14th century. The world through the eyes of the Chinese during the Ming Dynasty. China, of course, dominates, and all of Europe is squeezed into a small space in the west.

13. Genoese map, compiled in 1457 based on descriptions by Niccolò da Conti. This is how Europeans see the world and Asia after the opening of the first trade routes to Mongolia and China.

14. Projection of the globe Erdapfel (“Earth Apple”) by Martin Beheim (Germany, 1492). Erdapfel is the oldest known globe, showing the world as a sphere, but without America - instead there is still a huge ocean.

15. World map of Johann Ruysch, compiled in 1507. One of the first images of the New World.

16. Map by Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann from 1507. This was the first map to refer to the New World as "America." America looks like a thin strip of the east coast.

17. World map of Gerard van Schagen 1689. By this time, most of the world has already been mapped, and only small parts of America remain empty.

18. Samuel Dunn's 1794 world map. By charting the discoveries of Captain James Cook, Dunn became the first cartographer to depict our world as accurately as possible.
