The original "blue marble" photo looked like this originally but was changed to reflect the 'north = up' lie.

... North is not UP!
checkout the link on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversed_map
No wonder we call europe and america ... MA-JUU!!

Size of Africa...

remember the maps we used when growing up? Greenland was almost the size of Africa? I actually considered denmark the largest country (greenland being its territory and all).

interesting video from the west wing on this

...and north is not necessarily higher. Thus the reference of the northern part of former Eastern province as 'upper eastern' with the southern as lower eastern is erroneous.

yes! Congo is larger that western europe... all countries combined!

we used the Mercator projection that depicted the sphere that is our globe 'wrongly'

the Gall-peters projection tells things for what they really are

Mind detailing the sizes eg
Asia - 44.6M SqKMs
Africa - 30M SqKMs
North America - 24.6M SqKMs
South America - 17.8M SqKMs
Antarctica - 13.2M SqKMs
Europe - 9.9M SqKMs
Australia/Oceania - 8M SqKMs

My only question would be why does Asia, with only 10M more sq kms have 60% of the worlds population? And four times that of Africa? Is it coz the English never colonized them?
