The Babylonian Map of the World is a diagrammatic labeled depiction of the known world from the perspective of Babylonia (showing Assyria, Babylonia and Armenia). The map is incised on a clay tablet, showing Babylon somewhat to the north of its center. The clay tablet is damaged, and also contains a section of cuneiform text. It has been dated to the 5th century BC. It was discovered at Sippar, southern Iraq, 60 miles north of Babylon on the east bank of the Euphrates River, and published in 1899. It is conjectured that the island locations, though possibly referring to real areas, may also represent a mythological interpretation of the world.
