Theatrum orbis terrarum by Abraham Ortelius,1570, and notice the inset in the top right which reads in Latin: Tartariae siue magni Chami regni, or “Tartaria or the kingdom of the great Cham.”
And who do we find in the Kingdom of the great Cham?
The Great Cham, or in the original Mongolian, the Khan.
Like... is there nothing strange that the fact that the maps talking about Tartaria specifically only focus on the Far East? Like, the area that in the Middle Ages was the area least explored by Europeans on the Eurasian continent? Nothing suspicious about that connection?
