🌍 Ecumene: The evolution of the World's image - National Geographic Institute
Channel: IGNSpain
Date: 2023-03-06

🔸 Since ancient times, one of the main concerns of human beings has been to know what the world they inhabit is like, trying to answer questions such as: what is the shape of the Earth, what are its dimensions, or what is its relationship with the heavenly bodies?

🔸 This exhibition aims to show a chronological succession of cartographic documents that illustrate the changes that, over more than 2,500 years, the image of the world has undergone.

🔸 Starting with the first geographical references of ancient Greece, which considered a flat World, we will go through the spherical Earth proposed by prominent names such as Aristotle and Eratosthenes, following the "T in O" maps and the nautical charts of the Middle Ages, the rediscovery of Ptolemy's Geographia in the Renaissance, until we reach the great oceanic explorations that ended up delineating the World as we know it today.
