Scope of the Mongol Empire
While we are all aware that the Mongol Empire was enormous, this map demonstrates just how enormous it truly was. It is still considered the world’s largest empire, having existed from the 13th to the 14th centuries. This map, in particular, depicts the empire’s extent in 1279. The empire spanned nine million square miles at its height.
Lithuanian Magnet Map
To boost tourism, Lithuania devised what is perhaps the most ingenious scheme ever devised to entice people to visit: they created a map of the country entirely made of magnets – but each magnet is only available in specific cities. I’m not sure about you, but that makes us want to visit even more. And how many people can claim to have visited Lithuania? There aren’t many, that’s for certain.
