another subjective non-Eurocentric world map

Clicking is good.

Cartographer unknown by me, if someone knows who made this map, please Leave A Comment.

The maps of Earth we're ubiquitously familiar with historically developed from European and North American cartographers and geographers who arbitrarily chose Europe or England as the Center of the World. You can use this map to draw straight lines to show the distance from anywhere on the surface of Earth to Mecca, the Center of the World for a few billion people.

I like this old map from about 1910 which shows where the Heathens, Catholics, Protestants, Abyssinian Christians, and Mohammedans are in Africa.
