This database was started with the purpose of creating a screenshot of the World in the late 17th Century. The method to do this is collecting articles from older atlases and books, looking at maps, ignoring all sources of present days. Putting different chapters of dozens of book into different articles with hyperlinks is going to made your analyze much easier. The results I hope we get is the POV of a person from the late 17th. |

My method is simple: I collect articles from old atlases and books, study maps, and deliberately set aside modern sources. |

I wish my work will help you with your historical interrogations. Appreciate for your donations (not set up yet). |

By placing chapters from dozens of works into separate articles — each connected with hyperlinks — I aim to make exploration and analysis easier. The goal is to reconstruct the '''point of view of a person living in the late 1600s'''. |

Welcome to the World in the late XVII century.
This project was created to capture a snapshot of the world as it appeared in the late seventeenth century.
My method is simple: I collect articles from old atlases and books, study maps, and deliberately set aside modern sources.
By placing chapters from dozens of works into separate articles — each connected with hyperlinks — I aim to make exploration and analysis easier. The goal is to reconstruct the point of view of a person living in the late 1600s.
I hope this work will be useful for your own historical inquiries.
Support for donations will be available soon Mail for cooperation— your contribution will be deeply appreciated.
Famous pages: Tartaria, Cathay, The Turkish Empire...
Also in work: Toponymy, Money, Rivers
I’ve started adding maps and images—this work takes much of my after-work time.
If you read an article and spot something unusual (for example, a description or even coordinates of a “lost” city), please check the primary Sources listed at the bottom of the page. If it holds up, locate a non-OCR PDF of the original text and high-resolution scans (or, if needed, acquire the map itself). And verify a dozen times before you pick up a shovel. 🙂
