Maps 2.0

Today we talked about maps again and watched a little bit of a video of people proving a certain map is more accurate than another. I found this interesting because people were being mislead for centuries and didn't question it at all. Also in class we took notes on maps and learned that Greenland is 14x smaller than Africa. However, on certain maps they look the same size and it's wrong. This is one of the biggest mistakes on the Mercader map and why a lot of things on it are inaccurate. In addition, we also had a good conversation on how shocked we were at the inaccuracy of certain maps. In the end in was a very educational class and I learned a lot.
