| Video Discription | Ever been curious about those grotesque sea monsters scattered throughout large bodies of water in medieval maps? If you look closely, you may actually spot some resemblance to real life creatures. In this video we explore the bizarre marine creatures of the Carta Marina, a unique map of Scandinavia and Great Britain that fascinated historians for centuries, being one of the most accurate for its time. When Swedish cartographer and archbishop Olaus Magnus was crafting this map, the ocean was barely explored. In the minds of medieval sailors, the Ocean was the ultimate resting place of gigantic hybrid abominations that haunted their nightmares and lay in wait to devour them along with their fragile ships. There's some kernel of truth behind each of the sea monsters you're about to see, despite how much they were warped by centuries of sailor myth and superstition. We'll also explore why cartographers like Magnus drew such creatures, and what they meant to mariners of that time when they consulted their maps. So, let's set sail. Lorekeeper .
