Right up until the 19th century, some maps marked the unknown parts of the world as "terra incognita", implying there were still "unknown lands" to be discovered beyond the seas. Aristotle spoke about Terra Australis Incognita, "The unknown land of the South". When, what is now Australia was discovered, it was thought to be Terra Australis Incognita.
