This was ethnocentric philosophy concerning any world that wasn’t considered European and white. The maps of the time also show Europe larger than Africa, but in reality Africa was larger. Many early historians and archeological sites also pushed the ethnocentric view of the world as they discovered the ancient history of Africa and South America.
