Kangnido



The Kangnido (the full Hanja name means "Historical Emperors and Kings Integrated Map of Countries and Cities") is a map of the world made in Korea in 1402, by Kim Sa-hyeong (김사형:金士衡), Yi Mu (이무:李茂) and Yi Hoe (이회:李撓). The map was created in the second year of the reign of Taejong of Joseon, preceding the first European voyages of exploration.
