So what? We also know they never reached either of those places. It's easy to have maps.

Again, so what? A traditional title of the king of Assyria was "King of the Universe". It coexisted with the much less aspirational title "King of Assyria". But it didn't mean anything. Kublai Khan held a title that implied he held authority over other divisions of the Mongols.[1] And in fact he held no such authority, and nobody believed that he did. And...?
[1] Though that title wasn't just "Khan"... everyone in charge of anything was called Khan. What title do you think the head of the Il-khanate held?
