Babylonian Map of the World: The oldest known map of the ancient world

The Babylonian Map of the World, also known as the Imago Mundi, is the oldest known map of the ancient world, dating back to the sixth century B.C. It is a clay tablet from Abu Habba (Sippar), an ancient Babylonian city in modern-day Iraq.

The map depicts the world as a disc surrounded by a ring of water called the Bitter River, with Babylon and the Euphrates River at its center.

The tablet features cuneiform inscriptions detailing various locations and regions, as well as a description of the world’s creation by the god Marduk, Live Science has reported.
