It is frustrating that you had to add that people were eradicated by those who made maps. People have been eradicating each other since the first tribes but you want to instill a hatred for civilized cultures in your viewers. That is disheartening and cancerous. This kind of thinking destroys the ambition of students. It's better not to include it in the topic of map making. Make a separate video and include the fact that people were eradicated by opposing tribes, not just civilized peoples.

Imagine a medieval mapmaker talking to someone from today:
How do you guys deal with the dragons in Asia?
Uh there are no dragons.
Wha- seriously? What about the sea serpents in the Pacific Ocean?
No sea serpents either.
What about sirens? There s gotta be sirens!
Nope, never heard of them.
my whole life is a lie

In 4: 34 many of them eradicated by those who put their lands on world maps you can see three ships: obviously Colombus first expedition. Curiously, eradication and murder is always associated with Spanish empire although others countries and empires committed worst actions to the natives.

This also raises an interesting question.
What maps did said cultures have, and how did they look?
Cause I doubt the Native Americans, Australians and other cultures didn't use some form of mapmaking themselves, just in a different format than the Europeans did.

I'm curious about how people of the past created these maps. How can they predict/guess the shape of a continent? They only had ships and could only see limited length of an island's coastline from it. No photography, no air balloon, so how did they do it?

Southeast Asian here. Want to know why Southeast Asia isn't really well-known in the world stage today? The answer is in the first part of the video, here be dragons, and we're doing our best to keep them a secret. Those early Europeans knew too much.

Honestly, a giant magnetic rock at the North Pole isn t the worst explanation for magnetic compasses. It s certainly more understandable than the electromagneto-thermo-hydrodynamics of a molten iron core to the earth

This makes me excited to think about how people hundreds of years from now look back on OUR maps. What have they discovered since then? How has the format changed? Who will they remember from our time?
