We've mentioned Tartaria many times on this page, in posts and in videos.

We've also shown the Tartarian Flag in videos and in a post about the 1865 Flags of All Nations.

Today we go even further back in time to show Tartary in Bowle's 1783 Flags of All Nations.

Far too often we are told that Tartary was neither a country, nor an empire, nor a nation, but merely a generic term used to describe a vast and poorly known region of Asia.

If this is true, then how can we explain the clear appearance of the Empire of Tartary on Bowles’s Universal Display of the Naval Flags of All Nations in the World, printed in 1783?

In the last row of the chart, two distinct flags can be seen:

● a flag of the Empire of Tartary, featuring a griffin,
● a flag of Tartary, displaying a bird.

Right beside them also appear two different Moorish flags. Notably, the nations on this chart are not arranged in alphabetical order, which suggests that there may be a political, cultural, or geographic connection between these entities—particularly between the Tartarians and the Moors/Moores.

Furthermore, at the end of the second-to-last row, we can observe two distinct flags of the Great Mogul. This clearly indicates that the Moguls and the Tartarians were regarded as separate entities, rather than a single power under different names.

One thing is certain; Tartary was far more than a simple, vague label used to describe a little-known region of Asia, despite what we are often told by Historians of today.

The Port Elizabeth Campanile.

Erected to commemorate the landing of the 1820 British Settlers. This dignified memorial, a type though common in Latin countries of Europe, is probably unique in the Southern hemisphere, and certainly unique as an isolated memorial in South Africa.

It is erected on the spot at which the landing of the Settlers took place before the town of Port Elizabeth was built, but the landing may be considered as the event from which the town has sprung. The interior is very impressive.

What do you think?

A memorial.

Or one of the towers seen on the oldest maps of Africa? From a time where airships were the main mode of transportation.This structure will be covered in a video soon.

The James Stewart (Missionary) Memorial, Lovedale, near Alice in the Eastern Cape.

Constructed as a memorial, or one of the many towers depicted on the oldest maps of Africa. Before colonization. Before aviation monopolies. Before anything was "Found".

🗺️ A Rare Look at Old-World Africa

Today’s map drop is something special — two late-1500s masterpieces, each revealing a different face of Southern Africa.

Map 1 traces the western coastline from Guinea around the Cape, stretching inland to the Kingdom of Monomotapa. It’s loaded with old-world drama: Portuguese coats of arms, ornate cartouches, compass roses, sailing ships, sea monsters — even mermaids lounging near Lake Zaire.

Map 2 covers the eastern coast, from the Cape through Natal, Portuguese East Africa, Kenya, and all the way to Ceylon. It’s the earliest detailed map of this entire stretch, complete with elephants, lions, whales, naval battles, and the legendary Prester John.

Both maps come from Van Linschoten’s Itinerario — built from the best Portuguese and Spanish charts of the era and shaped by the influential work of Petrus Plancius.

But here’s where it gets interesting:

These weren’t just maps.
They were Europe’s attempt to document a world that didn’t fit their narrative — and the more you look, the stranger it gets.

On this channel, we’ve showcased over 50 buildings in Southern Africa that make no sense by colonial standards. Buildings with no surviving plans, no construction photos, no believable timelines, and no explanation for their sacred geometry — or the tunnel networks beneath them.

We’re told these structures were built in the 1700s and 1800s…
With no power tools.
No hardware stores.
No machinery.
No workforce — often just a few hundred settlers, many of whom were Freemasons.

And yet we can’t build anything remotely similar today — because “it’s too expensive.”

But the strangest part?

The buildings we see on the ground today look identical to the structures drawn on the oldest maps of Africa… maps created long before Europeans supposedly built anything here.

So the real question is simple:
Are these “colonial buildings” actually the very same structures drawn on these ancient maps?

📍 The Graaff-Reinet Dutch Reformed Church — A Monument That Shouldn’t Exist

Graaff-Reinet sits deep in the Karoo… yet somehow, in the late 1800s, this tiny frontier town ends up with a cathedral-sized masterpiece that looks like it was air-dropped straight out of Victorian London.

Who built it? How? With what workforce? And why does it match architectural patterns seen all over the world long before the official timeline even begins?

This is not just “another church.”
This is a structural anomaly — one of many across South Africa that quietly refuses to line up with the mainstream narrative.

Were these truly colonial-era constructions, or relics of something far older?

🌍Today I'm sharing something special: an old map crafted by Pierre Duval (1618–1683) — one of France’s most respected royal cartographers.

Duval wasn’t a random mapmaker scribbling guesses on parchment; he was the nephew of Nicolas Sanson, trained at the royal court under Louis XIV’s own request. His work became the backbone of European geography for decades.

This map you’re seeing was made long before modern borders, long before colonial governments, and long before the Dutch or English ever settled this land.

And yet… look closely.

All across this map you’ll see church-shaped structures — towers, domes, and fortified buildings scattered across the landscape like it was already covered in established towns and architectural centres. We also see the names of the Empires of Cafreria & Monomotapa.

Why would church-like structures appear on a 17th-century map of Africa… drawn by a royal cartographer… before the supposed “arrival” of those very architectural styles?

Unless, of course, those buildings were already here when the supposed "architects" arrived.

That’s exactly what we show in our latest video on the Dutch Reformed Church of Graaff-Reinet — one of many structures that look suspiciously older, more sophisticated, and more advanced than the mainstream story likes to admit.
