Cyprus in the 1500s Versus Today

It's pretty crazy to see maps that were drawn and created in the 16th century that look so similar to the fancy, drone footage of maps that are available today. Here you can see a drawing of a map of Nicosia in Cyrprus from the 1500s. You see the distinct star shape and the city that is within. Then you can see the same thing is the real life version from the present.

You can still see the star shape and the city within, even thousands of years later. It's pretty remarkable to say the least. Time flies, but it doesn't change that much.
