Describe the geographical knowledge of medieval Europeans.

The geographic knowledge of medieval Europeans was very limited. So that they were limited to Eurasia and Africa, in a word, those continents that they could bypass by land route, or by sea, but not far from the coast. They were sure that if they sail in the opposite direction from the continent, they will find themselves in India (with which there were very close trade relations), and the shortcut was very important for everyone. But it so happened that they discovered new lands.
