View 2,300 miles - A medieval journey in a larger map

Archaeologists have discovered a treasure trove of medieval art at two sites in central Sudan. They've also found evidence of 2,300 mile (3,700 km) medieval journeys undertaken by travellers from western Europe. One of the travellers was a man named Benesec. The map above illustrates the journey they undertook.
