Maps I find weird
0:01
This map of the world, according to Anaximander from 610 BC, he is considered one of the founders of geography
0:08
So basically, the Mediterranean's somewhat accurate, and everything else, he's just kind of winging it
0:12
Hang on, he's considered one of the founders of geography, and he's forgot to shove in the Americas
0:17
What's that? America wasn't discovered yet? Fair enough. Population of the UK split into four equal quarters
0:23
Okay, that's very interesting. So it's obviously just showing how populated the South is
0:27
I think London's included in the green. We've got 17 million in each. I live in the yellow bit
0:32
It's always mental when you remember how much of the UK population just lives in England. So it's 53 million in England and then 3 million Wales, 1.8 million Northern Ireland and just 5 million Scotland as well
0:44
Castles of the British and Irish seas. Oh, enhance, enhance. Let's see how many I've been to
0:49
Oh, what an epic map this is. So I've been to Edinburgh Castle. Yeah, that's really unreal
0:53
I've been to Lindisfarne, Holy Island. That's another really cool castle. Oh, look at this. Look at all of this. Ooh, tower of london. Yeah, we've done the tower of london
1:02
And then I think that's probably it. I have driven past this one in wales
1:06
There's so many cool castles. I need to go visit. I've not been to any of these in ireland the smart kids made this one
1:11
Oh, that's a nice looking map. They must have used stencils though, right? Can we spot any errors
1:17
The uk flag does look a bit chunky around scotland. I'm not gonna lie And they definitely got lazy with the sri lanka flag
1:24
Whoa, countries that have lost their citizens in the 9-11 attacks. That is mental
1:28
You would not think that the amount of victims would be that globally diverse. I know it's a serious map and all, but what's New Zealand doing up there
1:34
I'm sorry, I needed to point it out. Counties where a president of the United States was born
1:39
Okay, so it is mainly over on the east. And if we enhance, enhance, four presidents were all born in this little tiny area
1:46
Where is that? Massachusetts, apparently. I wonder what's responsible for the slightly higher odds
1:50
Location of sites related to methamphetamine production. Do you know what? Czech Republic are going mad for meth
1:56
They talked about Czech Republic in the last season of Breaking Bad, and I guess this is the reason why
2:00
I got a 132 IQ on the national IQ test. It's probably the most accurate online test
2:06
How is your IQ? Oh, this is an advert. I was reading it like, what's this got to do with maps
2:12
Since Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo on this day in 1815, a gif of the full battle
2:18
Whoa, what is going on? Look at everyone, they go brrrrrr. Everyone's like ramming into each other
2:23
Everyone's being shot at. This is intense. I'm quite stressed to be honest. Oh, they're all in amongst it
2:28
Can you imagine how scary that must have been, being right in the thick of it there? What Germany is called around Europe
2:33
In the UK it called Germany In Germany it called Deutschland In Poland it called Niemcy Then we got Nemecor Nemecor Nemozo Zag Nemecilla Niemaka Nijamaka Germania Alemanga Alemanga Alemania Alemania Alemania Alemania Alemania Alemania Alemania
2:50
And up in Scandinavia, Cisjkland. Oh, and then the historical origins are colour coordinated because you can see the regional patterns
2:58
Oh, that's delightful. The most common last name in every country. Right, well, I know that the UK and the US is both Smith, but I don't know many others
3:05
Oh, Canada's Smith as well. And yeah, UK is Smith. Ireland's Murphy
3:10
Interesting. Jensen. Jensen for Denmark. Dion in Netherlands. Moula, Germany. Martin, France
3:17
Garcia for Spain. Garcia for Andorra. Is it Garcia for... No, Hernandez for Mexico
3:23
Lopez for Guatemala. This is so interesting. Oh, Gonzalez. Rodriguez Garcia again
3:29
Da Silva, Gonzalez. Gonzalez back-to-back Gonzalez triple. All right, slide into Africa and oh, so much more variation
3:38
Johannes Pirimoyo Nkarunzia. What, Madagascar's most common last name is Rokutomalala. This is
3:46
incredible. All right, heading to Asia. Oh, Wang for China. Ivanova. Kim for Kazakhstan. Kim for
3:53
Uzbekistan as well. This is very interesting. What about Australia then? Smith again. Smith's all
3:58
over and New Zealand. The big five world regions. So this is the five biggest religions. I'm assuming
4:03
Red's Christianity. Yeah, Christianity really took over. Islam's got a big chunk of Northern
4:08
Africa and the Middle East. Hinduism still going strong in India. Buddhism takes over a lot of China
4:14
and these parts of Asia. And then Judaism is still on there. Where's Judaism? Oh, it's right there in
4:19
Israel, isn't it? It should be the big four, really. Let's be honest. The triple border. This is not a
4:25
map. What's this doing here? This is a photograph. But yeah, it is really cool to see the borders of
4:29
Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, just this little river. I want to go. I want to go to a country
4:34
border. I think the only country border I've ever gone through is Scotland to England, and that's
4:38
just boring. I was wearing a towel that was patterned to look like a kilt. I was about nine
4:43
years old at the time. I had a great time on the day, but I want to go to this one. Private jets are
4:46
five to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes per passenger, and 50 times more polluting
4:51
than trains and here we could see that the uk is responsible for a lot of pollution as is germany
4:57
it is a shame how common private jets are isn't it like i understand that certain high profile
5:02
people need security and from that respect it maybe makes more sense but surely there's a
5:06
balance couldn't you still just have like luxury private rooms so then you can have like 10 different
5:11
groups on a posh plane instead of just one share of the world population in each equatorial and and meridonial quadrant I do not know what meridonial means But once again it just shows how incredibly populated Asia is
5:24
73% of the population in this 25% compared to 9, 5, and 13 elsewhere
5:30
Brazilian passport strength. Okay, this is interesting. So Brazilians do not need a visa
5:34
to visit any of Europe or any of South America. That's pretty cool. But for everywhere else
5:39
you need to either apply for one or provide one when you get there influence of arabic on different languages europe so 900 words
5:46
in english derived from arabic which is pretty high 700 in french thousand portuguese 4 000
5:52
spanish just a hundred in greek and then of course 6400 in turkish that makes sense the japanese
5:59
empire at its height so back in early 1940s they occupied south and north korea a bunch of china
6:06
So much of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, even Burma. Cats or dogs in Europe
6:12
That's interesting. See, I mean, I like both, of course. But if I had to choose one as a pet, I would choose dogs
6:19
Generally, you can have a stronger bond with a dog. But interestingly, it looks like slightly more countries pick cats
6:24
But I like both, I reiterate. Jewish population in Europe, 1933. Okay, this is probably going to be sad
6:30
Jewish population in 2015. So is this literally because of World War II
6:34
was the population just never able to recover to what it previously was. What parts of Europe are taller than Muleung, Denmark's highest peak
6:42
A lot of Europe. That just shows how low down Denmark is. It also shows that kind of these lower Mediterranean countries
6:49
must have an average higher surface level, which I never knew before. I guess that makes sense with them being ocean around
6:54
Does that make sense? I don't know. What percentage of Europeans trust the news
6:58
Oh, so in the UK, it's down to 34% now, which, yeah, it makes sense
7:03
There's so much that happens in the world that the news choose not to show
7:07
and so many stories that they do show can be definitely seen and perceived
7:10
in a totally different narrative to the way that they're implying. It's interesting that Republic of Ireland have more faith in the news than the UK
7:17
I also wonder why Finland's is so much higher than everywhere else, but I mean, it's pretty depressing that, isn't it
7:23
That generally speaking, almost every country on here, half of the people just don't trust the news anymore
7:28
Funny and oddly named towns and villages in countries of the Americas. Okay, and hands then hands
7:33
So let's pick out some interesting ones in Canada and the US. We've got Stoner, Moose Jaw, St. Louis do ha ha with exclamation points
7:41
, balls creep. Intercourse, imagine living in intercourse. Percent of people in select countries who are proud of their country's empire
7:49
think their empire made their colonies better off and would like their country to have an empire So they pretty low generally which is good Apart from in the Netherlands 50 of people seems a bit dodgy Percent of people thinking former colonies are better off because they were colonized See I would answer yes to
8:04
that one. I'm not saying I'm proud of the British Empire at all, but the UK is undeniably financially
8:09
in a stronger position because of the control that it previously had. I would actually say that
8:14
these numbers should be higher for that one, but maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Percent of
8:18
people wanting their country to have an empire is generally pretty low but still that is a
8:22
concerning number of people you know that's like one in five people you'd walk past in the street
8:27
unless it's a different kind of empire to the ones full of slaves it is concerning that anyone would
8:31
want that oh an animated map showing no2 pollution in the mediterranean clearly showing the shipping
8:37
routes that crisscrossed the sea ah interesting yeah so it's basically following the paths that
8:44
boats do and therefore showing how much pollution boats cause which is venomous animals worldwide
8:49
and in the us this is interesting so it's famously known there's a lot of dangerous animals in
8:53
australia so you can see that's over 50 it's in black same in india which i didn't really know
8:58
and same for brazil and mexico europe and canada don't have any scary venomous animals that makes
9:03
sense but then generally everywhere else has something a little bit dodgy it's interesting
9:07
seeing islands like madagascar and new zealand that are near dangerous spots but because they're
9:13
islands. Nothing big and scary ever evolved there. I wonder why Chile doesn't have anything. Is it
9:17
just because of the climate? Is it just not that inhabitable for like little scary lizards and
9:22
snakes and stuff? I don't know. If 100 people lived in Asia, where would they live? Okay, so there would
9:27
be 30 people living in India and China and then just one person living in all of Russia. Okay
9:34
then just kind of one to five for everywhere else. China and India, a lot of people. Percentage of
9:38
African areas that are covered in forests. Okay, this looks very cool. That is a pretty epic
9:44
looking map. So not all of the gaps are because of deforestation. Like, this is the Sahara Desert
9:48
so there's never gonna be a big forest there. But yeah, what an amazing area of Africa this must be
9:53
The wildlife must be incredible. 200 million years ago, Ireland and Scotland were part of the same
9:58
range as the Alpachian Mountains, where funnily enough, the majority of Scottish and Irish
10:03
immigrants settled in America. So yeah, when the continents were in a different spot and they were
10:07
all kind of merged together a bit more. The same mountain range that Scotland went through connected
10:11
to America, which is so crazy to think about. Oh, and let's end off on this triple border
10:15
which I have never seen before. Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium just sharing this
10:19
little monument together. How nice. And they've got flags and everything. There is a bit of litter
10:23
though, so that's a shame. Anyway, thank you very much for watching. Hopefully you did enjoy. Please
10:27
do subscribe to this Jack's Extra Geography channel if you do not mind. That would be very
10:30
nice. It's free as well and stuff. All right, thanks. I'll see you later
