OP and mediterranian means?
yes, near, middle and far east are eurpeon centric words, --but then we are speaking a european language, last time i checked.
we could substitute near asia, mid asia, and far asia, --which is still pretty damn far from you fiberbabe...
or even west asia, mid asia, and east asia, just as we divide europe, a much smaller land mass into eastern and western europe.
--and i have seen a french map that included most of europe, --and half of the atlantic ocean, and smack dab in the middle, of map, france, in all its glory! its pretty common now days.
in the middle ages, jerusalam was the center point of most european (christian european) maps. Rome might have been the were the pope lived (most of the time) but the center of the world was jerusalam.
