flipping the map over is a bit extreme, calm yo ass down, but I agree with everything else

I think the inaccuracy in map shaping doesn't have to be malicious to still have negative effects with regards to understanding the reality of Africa


In other words, they didn't make it like that for the express purpose of miniaturizing Africa, but the smaller image does cause problems in comprehending its vastness

:lupe: did y'all not learn that africa is the 2nd largest continent in school?

Sometimes I weep for this country. I went to public school in the 5th largest school district in the US and my education was relative shyt but when I hear these dudes talk about some of the things that they didn't learn or were kept away from from them, I scratch my head on some of their claims.

I just assume they are telling the truth, which would be a sad state of education in this country

Basically, same exact people are saying, So what the Sphinx's nose was cutoff, there's no conspiracy, we all know the Egyptians were white :heh: CACs kill me sometimes with their b.s. Breh, CACs literally have the balls to tell you this was not a black man:

:dead:

That wasn't a black man and there was a poster here who cited images of south americans who look just like that who aren't black.

You know what is crazy about the Olmecs is that they have dreds and braids on there heads but they still say oh they weren't African. Like wtf. They the ones who built the pyramids etc... in South America. The Mayans, Aztecs, Incans and Spanish invaders both stated(Learned from the natives) that the monuments that South America natives suppose to be known for weren't built by them.

:laff:

it's actually true that south american civilizations used monuments that they didn't actually build

but that's just cause previous south american civilizations left them

The map they thought us in school was the same context as Christopher Columbus discovering America first, despite the Native Americans already being settled :pacspit:

Beside's the fukkery, the Coli also enlightens :salute:
