Description: This detail from Fra Mauro's world map of the 1450s shows the city of Ayutthaya in its centre. Here, Ayutthaya is named "Scierno", a name derived from the Persian name of the city "Shar-I-Nau", meaning "New City". The map is orientated with south to the top. To the right of "Scierno", two cities in Burma can be recognised: "Pochang" (present day Bagan) and Ava (present day Inwa). This detail was taken from File:Fra Mauro World Map, c.1450.jpg
