The T in a medieval T-O map is formed by

  • A.the Rhine and the Danube
  • B.the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea
  • C.the Equator and a meridian
  • D.the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile

Answer: D

Correct answer: the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile

The stem of the T is the Mediterranean, separating Europe from Africa, and its crossbar is formed by the Nile and the Don separating both from Asia. The O is the encircling ocean, and east is at the top with Jerusalem at the centre - an arrangement of belief rather than of survey.
