I never heard about this till today 🫂

‘The term "Tartaria Globe" typically appears in the context of the Tartaria conspiracy theory, which is a fringe theory that claims there was once a vast, advanced civilization called Tartaria (or Tartary) that has been deliberately erased from mainstream history. Proponents of the theory often point to old maps, unusual architecture, and other supposed "evidence" of this forgotten empire.

What Is a "Tartaria Globe"?

A Tartaria globe is usually:

1. An antique-style globe showing a large region labeled "Tartary" or "Great Tartary".

2. These globes are real historical artifacts, made in the 17th to 19th centuries, and they reflect the cartographic knowledge of the time.

3. “Tartary" was a genuine term used in older maps to describe a vast region of Central Asia and Siberia, inhabited by various Turkic and Mongolic peoples. It was not a unified country or empire.

Tartaria in History (Fact-Based View)

"Tartary" was a European exonym—an outsider's name—for parts of Eurasia including Siberia, Mongolia, and parts of Central Asia.

It was never a single empire or unified civilization. The term fell out of use as geographical knowledge improved.

Historical globes and maps reflect this outdated nomenclature, but they don't prove the existence of a lost advanced civilization.

In Conspiracy Theories

In the Tartaria conspiracy theory, the globe becomes symbolic:

Believers say globes showing "Tartary" prove the existence of a lost empire that has been hidden or erased by modern historians.

They often claim this civilization had advanced technology, free energy, or architectural knowledge superior to modern times.

These ideas are not supported by credible historians or archaeologists.

Summary

The "Tartaria Globe" refers to historical globes showing the old term "Tartary"—a reflection of limited geographical knowledge at the time, not proof of a lost civilization. While these globes are fascinating historical objects, their inclusion of Tartary is not evidence of a global conspiracy or erased empire’

I am most intrigued by this 👀

that they found a globe it’s quite simple

Me too!

Also there’s this book called The Globemakers: The Curious Story of an Ancient Craft by Peter Bellerby - I feel you might like this! They make beautiful bespoke globes here in London and I believe he’s one of the only people that do this (I could be wrong). Very niche business, but I think it wonderful.
