The Psalter Map, 1265: quintessential Medieval map with God holding the T-O map (Asia/Europe/Africa - the continents that they knew about.) East is at the top because the Bible said The Garden of Eden was in the East and the sun rises in the eat - it represents the origin of life. West is at the bottom where the sun sets and life ends. Jerusalem in the middle. Europe to the left, the mythical races to the right.
