Medieval maps of the world were always round and showed Jerusalem, the place of Jesus’ resurrection, in the center. The top of the map is east so that the sun rises where Jesus stands, flanked by two angels. Africa is the landmass on the right side (south), Europe is at the bottom (west) and extends almost to the nine o’clock position (north). The Mediterranean Sea separates Africa and Europe. Asia is to the left of Jesus.
