Maps


One of the earliest known maps of the world in the Babylonian map of the world.
The Babylonian Map of the World is a clay tablet map of the world, with Babylon at its center. The map is from ca. 600 BC and was discovered at Sippar, southern Iraq, a city that was 60 miles (97 km) north of Babylon on the east bank of the Euphrates River.
