The famous Arab geographer Al Idrisi made the map of the in Indian in 1154 shows south India in the north and Sri Lanka at the top.
But another map of the same area made by a French cartographer in 1720 is quite different from the old one.
In the map of 1154 places are marked in Arabic, and the map in 1720 is more detailed in nature and has a degree of familiarity.
