Map of the world. This celebrated map shows the world as a disc, surrounded by a ring of bitter water. Babylon is in the centre of the river Euphrates, which flows south through the marshes to the Gulf. Circles are used to indicate cities or countries. Eight outlying regions, triangular in shape, are the home of strange or legendary beings. About 700 - 500 BC
