[OSGeo Africa] Africa pre-colonial map

[Chris]

    Tim ;

    I have cced you in this reply of mine as it appears that my 
    posts seem to disappear. No idea why ? or who the 
    "moderator" is that decides to -- junk them ?

    WHY involve something technical and scientific with 
    something political ?

    IF you want serious maps ( even of Africa ) why not try the 
    International Cartographic Society

    Cheers

    Chris


        Survayers have cause to make muche.of me.
    And so have all Lordes , that landes do possesse.
        But Tennauntes I feare will like me the lesse.
           Yet do I not wrong but measure all trueley.
           All yelde the full right of everye man justely
          Proportion Geometrical hath no man opprest.
               If anye bee wronged, I wish it redrest
