Maps of Awesome

I think old maps are pretty nifty. Especially when they have drawings of sea-serpents and other mythical beasts.

Maps allow us to see where we are, where we're going, and where we've been. Like the spyglass, they give us a new picture of our homeland. Many of us lack the ability to "see" what the cartographer sees. How did these men of old make such detailed maps anyway? It blows me away how accurate they were. I must research how they created maps.

These ancient maps are also works of art. Look at the detail, the imagination going into some of these. I wish our maps nowadays included fun little characters!

Maps often give us a sense of who we are because they show us the land where we live.

Aren't these maps gifts from God?
