I started off very zoomed in and looking from left to right for gold nuggets, as suggested. I couldn't read the lettering on the map, but I did notice a flag in the bottom left corner that looked like a Spanish Flag on a boat. It turned out that a Catalan flag and that the map was made by a Jewish man from that region. Being so zoomed in, I couldn't really make out where in the world I was looking at initially. Zooming out, I was able to make out the Boot of Italy, Europe, the coast of North Africa and then what appeared to be parts of Asia further to the right on the map. There many little fortresses on the map sometimes had banner or religious symbols--Sometimes flag banners had little golden circles. I later read that the King figure in Africa was supposed to represent Mansa Musa and that man in the Turban in Africa was actually an imagined figure that is likely a sign of Europeans lack of knowledge of Africa's interior region at that time.
One of my questions from looking at this map is: Who would have had access to the map? The knowledge that is stored on the map certainly shows a great deal of scholarship for the period and reminds me of how a piece like this was the pinnacle of "stored" geographic knowledge, yet was also filled with inaccuracies, misrepresentations and few people probably every saw it or learned from it in its makers time.
