Jarid Boosters
Howdy. Today we will discuss the Earth Apple, the oldest surviving labeled globe model of earth ever created. The Earth Apple, also known as Erdapfel, dates back to 1492 in Nuremberg. However, the anomalies found on the original Earth Apple Globe are interesting and include multiple phantom landscapes which we will dive into today. We will also examine the origin of the Globe itself, with ties back to the Holy Roman Empire and the Globus Cruciger. We will examine the relationship between different ancient earth models, and view the power associated with the Orb and Cross, and how this design was influenced by depictions of earth.
