Since making this video, it has come to my attention that there is only one map that contains the actual phrase "hic sunt dracones" -- the Hunt-Lennox globe, made c. 1508. My apologies for giving the impression that there were many such maps. In the case of the Lennox globe, it is likely that this phrase is indicating Asia as a place where dragons are, which was an area already well explored by Europeans at the time of the globe's making. Essentially, I am a big dummy that accidentally spread misinformation. I think the metaphor is still valuable as an emotional tool, but it's historicity as a phrase to indicate a region that had not yet been explored is pretty well debunked. Again, sorry about that. I'm leaving this video up as a reminder to myself to properly research a topic before spouting off about it like an ignoramus. You can find the articles I used to educate myself on these facts here:
Blake, Erin C. (1999). "Where Be "Here be Dragons"?". MapHist Discussion Group. https://web.archive.org/web/20180401000111/http://www.maphist.nl/extra/herebedragons.html

Since making this video, it has come to my attention that there is only one map that contains the actual phrase "hic sunt dracones" -- the Hunt-Lennox globe, made c. 1508. My apologies for giving the impression that there were many such maps. In the case of the Lennox globe, it is likely that this phrase is indicating Asia as a place where dragons are, which was an area already well explored by Europeans at the time of the globe's making. Essentially, I am a big dummy that accidentally spread misinformation. I think the metaphor is still valuable as an emotional tool, but it's historicity as a phrase to indicate a region that had not yet been explored is pretty well debunked. Again, sorry about that. I'm leaving this video up as a reminder to myself to properly research a topic before spouting off about it like an ignoramus. You can find the articles I used to educate myself on these facts here:

October 2023 - The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects
The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects is a book by Edward J. Ruppelt, the army air force officer in charge of Project Blue Book. It was published in 1956. It's a fascinating read, and I highly recommend you check it out!

This is a Youtube video I created during the chaos of the pandemic to provide myself a little moment of peace from my hometown.
I hope you find it peaceful, too!

This is a Youtube video I made for my students at East Central during my first year of teaching.
I wanted to create a message for my students, who I would not be finishing the year with.
For those looking back from the future, my school, as well as thousands across the nation, closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I hope they liked it, and I hope you like it, too!
