Tea with Alice and the Cheshire Cat Special Guest Star: Urbano Monte The mapmaker Urbano Monte was an intensely detail-oriented, highly curious, and non-conformist gentleman scholar who valued intellectual freedom over political power. He spent roughly 20 years of his life trying to research and synthesize global geography, history, foreign cultures and cosmology. Even after he created a map, he would constantly update it whenever new information came back as he lived in a time of exploration. The 1587 Planisphere by Urbano Monte is a massive 10-foot Renaissance masterpiece. It utilizes an innovative polar projection to map the globe, filling unknown lands with hundreds of vivid monsters. The Siberia section had drawings of unicorns and griffins.

The only things I know about Siberia are Tunguska and the Gulags.
