The Truth Behind Leonardo da Vinci's Amazing 'Satellite' Map

[@GasoliniASMR]

One of my heroes. I enjoy all his technical drawings.

i'm a da vinci fan but didn't know a lot of this - thanks so much for sharing

Nice job, love da vinci and ancient maps. That map with the town and river, the river actually looks like a sea serpent, you can even see a littile fire bubble on the left side, and if u look closely a dark spot that seems like an eye meaning the head is on the left. Realy works well with the S curve pattern of the river's wave. But great content and overview, love this stuff.

Nice work, interesting to learn more about Leonardo.

Davinci with his wheelbarrow was the 16th c. Google Earth car 3:25. we do use wind compasses today, in weather vains, some even marked N,S,E,W.

Thanks for the comment and for watching! I may be wrong, but I believe the classical wind compasses were fairly different than modern weather vanes -- weather vanes indicate the actual blowing wind, whereas wind compasses were used to explain direction only sorta nominally based on "where seasonal winds come from" (ie, there were sometimes 12 or 16 different winds identified). Anyway, I'll do a video on the topic at some point! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_compass_winds

Beautiful map. I like the detail of the river as well. Often rivers are drawn out as canals, even natural rivers that have never been dredged. It's also a slight immersion-breaker in 3D game worlds as all rivers are simply canals. Although, RDR2 would do a pretty good job there.

Enjoyed very much! The whole series is amazing ❤

5:40 Wait, did da Vinci have ADHD? Cause that’s classic ADHD.

Interesting video, but Leonardo's map was by no means the earliest city plan of this type. The Forma Urbis, a monumental ichnographic map of Rome made of marble, was erected in the early 3rd century AD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2S0aH6FhJWKmck

Fantastic. This is awesome. I've been looking for Roman maps and this is super! Thanks, I'll surely make an update in the coming months.
