Answer:
A map of the Indian sub-continent, made by a famous Arab geographer -- al-Idrisi -- 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 (a person who makes maps) in 1720 is quite different from what al-Idrisi made.
Historians have to be very careful when they use old things to study history, because the methods of making maps and texts differ from time to time, and not everything written in the past was correct.
Map was made in 1154
Al-Idrisi incorporated the knowledge of Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Far East gathered by Islamic merchants and explorers and recorded on Islamic maps with the information brought by the Norman voyagers to create the most accurate map of the world in pre-modern times, which served as a concrete illustration .
