Question

Chet Van Duzer helped restore one of the objects that depicts people of the “Panotii” tribe with ears big enough to function as sleeping bags. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these objects. For Afonso V, Fra Mauro created one of these objects, another of which was made by German cartographer Gerardus Mercator.
ANSWER: maps [or mappa mundi; accept Fra Mauro map; accept map projection; accept Mercator projection]
[10h] Description acceptable. Unlike most Western maps at the time, Fra Mauro’s map has this unusual feature, which reflects the influence of Muslim cartographers like Mohammed al-Idris, who also created maps with this feature.
ANSWER: south is at the top [or south-up; accept answers about north and south being flipped or inverted]
[10m] al-Idrisi is best known for a south-up map created for a ruler with this name, whose coronation mantle features two lines and the Islamic date 528. This first King of Sicily’s Hauteville Dynasty had this name.
