Those maps are definitely wrong. I went to elementary school in this last 1950’s. The maps look much different back then. The African continent was the largest continent on the map back then. Everything on the map was changed
yea everyone should know this, it's mainly due to European colonization and they made maps to make their land appear bigger while others smaller. it's like a short dude who gets a huge truck. compensating for their smaller size.
to drive across Africa it'll take you from 10 to 17 weeks. You can fit three and a half United States into Africa.
Africa is the biggest of all
Africa has amazingly huge IQs too. Google world average IQ map
We can see all the continents from space.
Africa is a name given By Colonizers
is 2025 who cares 😂😂😂
remember we have photos from satellite, with those we can measure and see
wild how most of the land is untouched..... like the deep ocean
everything we learned n school was a lie
so now that you gave this information , what do u want/need?
Mercator projection is used to make smaller islands and countries appear larger so they can be seen on a map. not used for size comparison. we learned this in elementary school... our teachers even told us that Greenland is not that large that Africa is three times the size of America but the map makes it look the same size because it's the Mercator projection.
here we go with conspiracy theory
well it's accurate on Google Earth , do you want to know how I know? when you zoom in from orbit , It does not matter where you land everything is right where it is supposed to be. And then when I go on a long trip in my car, I can measure and predict how many miles my destination is every time. If Google Earth had incorrect continent sizes and land features it would be noticed instantly, especially by me cause I have a hobby where I spend thousands of hours locating and matching recurring surface features on our planet, because they tell a story of our planet's creation that has been overlooked by Plate Techtonics .
And this changes what?
Why would they do that
they didnt didnt lie to you with maps.😂
So what?
everyone wants to be right and prove someone wrong, while Noone really knows anything with truth behind it
"All the maps you see is wrong" yeeeeeah, gonna go ahead and not trust your knowledge, buddy.
Globes still exist, but projecting a globe to a flat surfaces has its disadvantages.
use a globe ppl....the world is not flat
so what's the size difference of Greenland or Australia? seems like another push push vid
It's 5000 miles North to south ...what's the cover-up ?
even the compass is wrong it suppost to point to eden
I put my landlord on game with this info and he told me I better have rent by the 5th
It's all a lot of fear ignorancy the truth shall set all of us free I don't care who you are the truth is the closest thing to godly
Been saying that for years
