Map details:

  • Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571–1638); map c. 1645
  • Depicts NE Eurasia from Volga/Caspian to Pacific
  • Shows Siberia, Central Asia, Far East under "great khan"

4. paradigm-threat-files Map Analysis

Author's existing analysis (from MFEE article and chronology page):

  • Old maps show Tartary as largest state in the world (1771 Britannica)
  • Tartary maps don't match modern geography — different coastlines, missing features (Himalayas, Grand Canyon), California as island
  • Correlation between gold-mine concentrations and "melted" Tartarian city locations
  • paradigm-threat-files holds many map images: map_1754_tartaria, map_tartaria_hondius, map_no_grand_canyon_1598, map_india_no_himalayans, etc.

5. Fomenko Map Sources (chronologia.org)

  • Old Maps of the Great Russian Empire — Ptolemy, Wytfliet, Ortelius; XIV–XVI cc. geography "edited in XVII–XVIII cc."
  • chronologia4 Ch.12 — 4N12-EN-2 (Asia), 4N12-EN-3 (North America), 4N12-EN-4 (Pugachev, Tartary division), 4N12-EN-5, 4N12-EN-8 (Novaya Zemlya), 4N14-EN-4 (1670 Great Tartary map), 4N14-EN-17 (Russian map names)
  • Ivan Kirillov — 17th-c. Russian cartographer; Fomenko claims many maps "destroyed by Romanovs"
