It’s fascinating that they expanded the known landmass to cover the sphere instead of leaving the unknown area blank or oceanic. I wonder if Columbus saw this globe and figured it couldn’t be hard to get to India because of it, while everyone actually educated knew the planet was far bigger than that, with a much bigger gap.
