In the middle age, the cartographers drew maps very different than the ones we know nowadays. The objective of those maps wasn't to find the right location of a country or a sea, there were another patterns to draw them. For instance, the religion. For catholics, Jerusalem seemed to be the centre of the world, so this holy place was drawn in the middle of the map.
Things changed during the modern times. The cartography became a science and -apparently- the maps started to show the world how it really is (this is a lie).
*she definitely adores the way he draws, specially maps. Because he always puts his sense of humour in everything he does and makes her laugh a lot. But she would like to tell him that Argentina is not beside China...
