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.

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.

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