Besides the Indian subcontinent, are there any Puranic or Vedic references or mention of other places on Earth? I know about Sri Lanka mentioned in Ramayana. But other than Lanka and India, what do our ancient scriptures say about the rest of the world?

I am not sure but I think Sri Lanka and Japan qualifies – Angelus Mortis Apr 01 '16 at 18:41

1@AngelusMortis That article doesn't mention any scriptural references to Japan. – Keshav Srinivasan Apr 01 '16 at 20:54

@KeshavSrinivasan is it mergeable with Original location of Mleccha tribes in Mahabharata? Also related to Were Yavanas Greeks or Egyptians. – iammilind Apr 02 '16 at 01:18

@iammilind No, I don't think it's a duplicate - that question is about the location of various races. This is a more general question about what Hindu scriptures say about the rest of the world. – Keshav Srinivasan Apr 02 '16 at 01:59
