Terra Australis

For most of the world, the story of Australia started as a fable about a great south land that must exist to keep the world in balance. The myth came from a joint venture between an Egyptian pharaoh and some Phoenician sailors around 600BC, and motivated future European explorers during the age of imperialism.
