Hereford Mappa Mundi

Some of the greatest explorers, mapmakers, and chroniclers in history document things too amazing for most to consider real today.

Hereford Map is the largest medieval map still known to exist, and it shows cryptids beyond belief.

In this episode, we'll dive into the map's monopods, blemmies, mandrakes, giants, and a beast so foul it would unleash hellfire on anyone who met it, literally.
