From compasses guiding sailors through treacherous waters to depictions of majestic animals like camels traversing desert landscapes or lions roaming African plains - every detail tells a story. Cities are marked with precision throughout the map; bustling hubs where trade flourished and cultures converged. Furthermore, one cannot miss the presence of magnificent creatures like elephants and horses that symbolize power and strength.
