The limits of the known world
This is not a post about getting old. It’s about a lot of things, and some of them may bear an uncanny resemblance to growing old, but that is not what this post is about.
I have always loved maps. Especially ancient maps. Ancient cartographers understood something terribly important about the limits of the known world. They knew that dangerous monsters lurked in the waters just beyond the borders of the known world.
