Asia antique maps tell the tale of mans earliest records and travels. From the birthplace of writing it was only natural that man would want to map his surroundings on permanently recorded material. Clay, papyrus and even stone were used to define the boundaries of kingdoms to ensure proper taxes and homage was paid. From the Fertile Crescent in modern Iraq to the Chinese dynasties maps were very important national assets. The coastal countries of India, Persia, China, Japan and others were all mapping trade routes both seaborne and through the vast interior realms such as the silk road. Al-Idrisi (1099-1166) was a Muslim geographer, who made a globe or sphere of silver weighing 400 kilograms for the Christian King Roger II of Sicily. Admiral Zheng He made several voyages for the Chinese Emperor in the years 1405 ? 1433. The old vintage maps he created represent some of the longest sea voyages prior to Columbus.
