1617: C1617 Origin of the Star Chart

C1617 Origin of the Star Chart

Obviously, Huang Hongkuo still didn't know Professor Liu was dead, and Liu Lu had always felt guilty about her father's death. If she hadn't lost her mind in love and fell in love with a bastard, she wouldn't have killed her father.0

Therefore, Professor Liu's death was largely due to him.

Seeing Liu Lu's reaction, Yang Tao quickly said, "Professor Huang, Professor Liu has passed away."

Huang Hongkuo didn't expect this result and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this. Please forgive me. Let's get down to business."

"That day, after Liu Lu passed the photo to me, I recalled where I saw it. After I returned, I flipped through it and sure enough, I saw it." Huang Hongkuo placed the old book on the table. Yang Tao looked over and saw that part of the illustrations on the page that he flipped open was this map. It was quite long and took up a third of the entire picture laughing.

"Is this recorded in the history books of Europe?"

"Yes, there was no paper making in Europe long ago, so the written records were only made on parchment. Only during the Renaissance did paper making spread to Europe, so paper making played a very important role in the development of the Renaissance. Before that, the historical records of Europe were relatively small."

"But because of the length of time that the parchment was kept, although Europe was often at war, it was well-preserved. Later on, during the Renaissance, a scholar organized and summarized the historical data of Europe and wrote a book called The Mediterranean World. This book included the history of the Middle Ages and before that, and it included a lot of local documents which were used to identify and filter the documents. It could be said that he had made a very important contribution to the study of European history."

"But there is no way to determine exactly who this author is. Some people think he is a scholar called Setovina, but in any case, this book is part of the literature on the history of Europe. My book is the history of Europe, and it contains a passage from this history."

"They said that during the time of the Western Empire, in the port of Bilbao, which is today in Spain, a group of fleeing pirates were caught. After interrogation, this group of pirates went to the Sea Of Death to search for treasures.

"After they went to the Sea Of Death, they found nothing, but they encountered a great storm and lost their way. Afterwards, they found a star map from a floating ghost ship, and because they relied on this star map, they luckily got out of the Sea Of Death. Afterwards, this group of pirates were hanged and died, so the star map was left behind."

"At that time, the people in power also sent someone to find this Sea Of Death, but none of them came back. Later on, due to the war, this star map was lost, but it was recorded down, and because none of the people that went there returned, some people suspected that this star map was deliberately done by the pirates to avoid the death penalty. After that, no one remembered this star map anymore."

When I was reading this part, I was interested in this star map. I asked my friend who was studying astronomy about it, and he said that the star charts at that time generally only recorded some stars that were considered by the navigators to be more iconic by those time, or the stars that seemed to be meaningful to them as a guide, and were their nautical map.
