time-travel map

This map is awesome... you can time travel with it... and see geography and history of the world at the same time... I love it!!!

- Este mapa es buenísimo. Puedes elegir una fecha y ver como estaba el mundo distribuido... 

La foto es para los que dicen que Sevilla no tiene playa... y puede explicar algunas similitudes raras entre Murcia y Sevilla que he detectado con el paso de los años...

South-on the top-worldmap

I made a post about Peters projection map (this), but really my first intention was show you a map with the South on the top. Now I have found two in one.

I disagree with the term "inverted map", I think is only another example of the way of thinking of the northern-occidental...

Peters map

* This Peters map shows all areas - whether countries, continents or oceans - according to their actual size. Accurate comparisons become possible.

* All North-South lines run vertical on this map. Thus, geographic points can be seen in their precise directional relationship.

* All East-West Lines run parallel.

The classical projection, the one that we are use to see is the Mercator projection. The Mercator is a "conformal" map projection. This means that it shows shapes pretty much the way they appear on the globe. But it is not possible to show both shape and size accurately. If you want a true shape for the land masses you will necessarily sacrifice proportionality, i.e., the relative sizes will be distorted.
