5.0 out of 5 stars Go buy it, May 8, 2003

This review is from: Eritrea Map (Travel Reference Map) (Map)

Most detailed cartography of Eritrea I have seen so far.
It has been a lot of help to find my way around Eritrea.
Eritrea, specially the capital Asmara is one of the hidden gems in the world.

I advice any one to visit. I found it to be one of the calmest, friendliest and safest countries I visited.

This review is from: Eritrea Map (Travel Reference Map) (Map)

I bought the ITM Map of Eritrea hoping to get a detailed, up-to-date, and carefully drawn map of that interesting country in East Africa. I know Eritrea fairly well from several visits, careful study of their history, and friendship linking. But alas, this map is inaccurate, it contains few details, and the factual information inserted in the map is difficult to read. The map also contains a historical account of Eritrea. I find the narrative dubious in many regards. For instance, it is claimed that 'Arabs' developed the kingdom of Aksum by the third century, while historians now believe that the Axumite culture may well have originated in Africa. No mention is made of the interesting connection between Egypt and Punt (believed by many to be Eritrea) in the third and second millennium BC. To sum up: a very disappointing map - qualifying for one star in my evaluation.
