ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If Tartaria was real, why isn't it in your history book? This best-of pulls the strongest map moments from the live show into one sitting: the dragon and the owl in an 1800s almanac, the 1690 and 1899 maps, Siberia on Google Earth today, crater lakes and blast sites across Siberia, the Great Wall of Tartaria and its arrow slits facing China, Rupes Nigra and the four islands at the North Pole, the same polar map painted inside the U.S. Capitol, and Operation Highjump.
Stitched from Episodes 8, 19, 20 and 76. Missed them live? Here's your catch-up.
