I think it's just not aligned, they didn't get the scale perfect. That pointy bit over the ocean and the bit hanging down from it are actually pretty close to right, just need to be moved over and twisted a bit.
All in all, I don't think I could do any better.

Holy shit my brain had a tough time with realizing that the normal map thing where the light part is land and the dark part is water isn't what's happening here 馃槄

Pretty close except scandinavia. It's a mess up there.

Quite accurate about the land they ruled over and the Mediterranean as a whole.
