Discover Background Information
The Old World consists of everything, that is not the New World (North and South America). In other words, the Old World includes Asia, Africa, and Europe, or the entire known world (during the Asian Golden Age, European Middle Ages, and Pre-colonial Africa), after the fall of the western Roman Empire, until the Americas were "discovered," by those in the Old World. This must not be taken literally, because the "New World" was already very old (in terms of advanced civilization), as well, but I don't know of any better term.
The other continents, Antarctica and Australia are not included, in this division (as they were also unknown to people in the Old World, at that time, as well). A similar more modern term would be the Eastern Hemisphere, except that it is missing parts of western Africa and western Europe and includes Australia and part of Antarctica. The official term is the truly ugly and unmemorable Afro-Eurasia.
