A new map of the World

Hi

We all remember our geography lessons and the maps of the world and the globes.

These all had one problem, they distorted things.

A new map has been made, very different.

I prefer the old one, this one looks distorted and wrong.

I thought you had realised the error of your ways.

Interesting stuff. It's really hard to accept the new map when we have been used to the original map for so long. I need to read about it more to understand what's happening tbh.

We can get it right by looking at a globe. They used to be available in schools. Probably not any more.
