“Human history becomes more and more, a race between education and catastrophe.” – George Orwell, 1920, Outline of History
The accumulation of geographical knowledge as reflected in cartography is a gradual and irreversible process. Therefore the more details are contained in a map the more recent it is. Most of allegedly ‘ancient’ maps were produced in the XVI-XVIII centuries because they contain the details unknown at the moment of their presumed composition in the Ancient World. Their age is ‘alleged’ too.
Corollary A: ‘Ancient’ maps are invalid for the precise dating of events.
Moreover, all maps with the irrefutable date of the composition prior to the XIII century show the picture in complete contradiction with consensual history. Before the advent of engraving and printing, any map was more a unique work of art than a reliable geographical instrument for land or maritime orientation.
The archaeological findings can’t be dated with the aid of the ancient coinage found on the site. The numismatic dating, i.e. distribution along the time axis is wholly dependent on erroneous consensual chronology elaborated by Kabbalist Scaliger and perfected by Jesuit Petavius.
Corollary B: coinage made prior to the XV century is invalid for the precise numismatic dating of events.
