Description: For sale Flat Earth model - Azimuthal Equidistant map! (One item) It has the useful properties that all points on the map are at proportionately correct distances from the center point, and that all points on the map are at the correct azimuth (direction) from the center point. A useful application for this type of projection is a polar projection which shows all meridians (lines of longitude) as straight, with distances from the pole represented correctly. While it may have been used by ancient Egyptians for star maps in some holy books, the earliest text describing the azimuthal equidistant projection is an 11th-century work by al-Biruni.The projection appears in many Renaissance maps, and Gerardus Mercator used it for an inset of the north polar regions in sheet 13 and legend 6 of his well-known 1569 map. In France and Russia this projection is named "Postel projection" after Guillaume Postel, who used it for a map in 1581. Many modern star chart planispheres use the polar azimuthal equidistant projection.Good souvenir or gift for any Flat Earth believer or your Flat Earther friend who believes that Earth is flat and keeps that theory beliefs.This handmade piece of art consists of an Ash Wood base, adhesive print, and Acrylic dome or hemisphere.
