Image Subject:	Many of the features on this map seem largely imaginary. Some of the names on the Somalia coast are of trading ports known in antiquity but no long in existence in 1750 e.g. Wax badan oo ka dhex muuqda khariidadan waxay u egyihiin wax iska mala'awaal ah. Sida magacyada qaarkood ee ku qoran dhanka xeebaha Soomaaliya waxay yihiin magacyo dekado waayadii hore la yiqiin, laakiin aan jirin xilliga la sameeyey khariiddadan oo ah 1750. Molte delle indicazioni presenti in questa mappa sembrano immaginarie. Alcuni nomi segnati sulle coste della Somalia, ad esempio, si riferiscono a dei porti conosciuti nell'antichità ma che non esistono più nel 1750 - epoca a cui risale la mappa. https://mogadishuimages.wordpress.com/2014/11/04/1750-french-map-of-the-north-east-of-africa/
