Actually Jerusalem is the center of medieval maps because this sacred city was so important for christianity and their Views. Folks knew that this was not real, nautic maps look different.
We still have that kind of "propaganda" mapping. The continents are not shown in their real size, Africa should be way larger and Europe a lot smaller.
We all know why. That's not the fucking point. The point is, religion absolutely twists reality and you wind up with shit like this.
And no... we have globes.
And yes... we know maps are stretched.
No need to be rude. Also, judging from the comments, not everyone knew. Neither did everyone in my history class.
And twisting reality or information for a good punline is not a great choice either.
