Maps are graphic images that represent places around the globe. They provide the most valuable information regarding geographical locations, climate, cultural and political structures, and other useful knowledge concerning the different countries.
However, during the medieval era,
Europe's country maps had a different characteristics. For, the maps were largely influenced by religious ideas. Hence, the so-called
"T-O" map was popular during that time. Perhaps, this can be explained by the fact that it was during the
medieval age that many explorations and religious campaigns were made around the world especially in Europe.
