"Maps Lie About Sizes Too", so yea, you are not the only one 😉

I got the point, and I absolutely agree with you. But I want to correct your video. I’ve check on gmaps, distance on the first line is about 8.400km, and the second line is about 6300km

I was praying hard Greenland wouldnt be used in this video😂
Every map comparison uses Greenland

[Ahuweweaquiquiasharablingding]

La harve, France 🇫🇷 to yedinka, Russia 🇷🇺 is 5331 km
Kadrousse, Senegal 🇸🇳 to Djibouti, Djibouti 🇩🇯 4042 km

That’s why the most accurate map is the globe itself

[Zerospacedude]

Does this mean I’m above average in Greenland and below average in Africa?

This video is more helpful than any geography class ive ever attended

[ivynorcio]

I love how i see land in borders but the truth is that they are small that they just crack out

[Maz_Monster]

Africa looks small cause it's on the equator when it's actually bigger than Europe 3 times

[glenhalkerston]

As you can see Aussie’s don’t lie 🤷‍♂️

[PRO-lqpn]

Well, every country in Africa except Algeria is the same size like in all maps.

[Elliot-xork]

We’re is New Zealand it’s not on your map!!!!

[Dontsuborelse]

So you’re saying google maps is lying to me!? Guess I’m lost..

[Killer_uv]

i tought it was going to be tokyo drift

[GsanMohammed-ldvt]

Wow brazill is bigger then russia i totally believe that

[emochic]

That map was used in the ancient times to prove superiority of Europe, that's why Europe, and Russia are quite larger

[LimboBecomingAR]

So your telling me theres unhabited land?
