mithec's video: The East on the left on many ancient maps

@The East on the left on many ancient maps?

Modern maps place the East on the right, and the West on the left. However, we find that the opposite is true for many mediaeval maps all of the sea charts of the alleged 14th century had the East on the left, and the West on the right. These charts may have been used by either traders or the military fleet. Why did the old maps, and sea charts in particular, have the East on their left, and the West on their right?
