Pretty sure all of them were known to science. Hardly a novelty.
16th – 19th century is not “ancient”. Maybe he means the original Azerbaijan, existing since more than 2000 years.

😂😂😂 ancient maps of Azerbaijan, yeah sure..
“Maps cover periods from 16th to 19th centuries..” I didn’t know 16th century is considered ancient lmao
Any ancient map of Iranian Azerbaijan bears no continuity with the modern state to the north that was never called Azerbaijan.
