They weren't to terribly wrong.
Some things are the wrong size, but what could one expect from an ancient map?

...it's not ancient... 200 years ago most all of the land was discovered with the excpetion of small islands. The wrong sizes comes from the lack of satalie imagery, but this was the standarded for maps in the 19th centurary

This was widely accepted and well-known in the 19th century I thought.
