      Funnily enough, he was right about Africa purely by mistake. An earlier explorer made a mistake about how navigation works in the Southern hemisphere and thought they had essentially circumnavigated before turning around when they had only gone a fraction of the distance truly needed.

      Wait wait wait a second… What’s that in the North? Androphagi? If might not got this right, but doesn’t that mean Maneaters? I have to check this.

      EDIT:

      Yup. Wikipedia agrees:

      > The name Androphagi is a Latinisation of the ancient Greek name Androphagoi (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδροφάγοι), which means „man-eaters.“ This name is a descriptive one based on their reported practice of cannibalism; how they called themselves is unknown.[2]

      Scythians are all the way there? As Kazakh I remember studying about them in school, how we are either related to them or they were in our lands.

      Tigrahauds and Haumavargis. Just a random memory de-archived .
