Maps I think are EPIC

Maps I think are epic

A lighthouse map of France. Ah, I say that's pretty. Get a little zoom in on here

Look at the pretty lights going down. It's all about perspective. Ooh, so this is the Mediterranean Sea, but flipped this way

So if we go ahead and flip this, it's super recognizable. We've got Italy, we've got Turkey

But it's actually really interesting to see it this way up, because it does look totally different

Germany's economy equals all of these countries combined. That is crazy. 4.6 trillion, which is the same as all these other countries added together

Germany is raking it in. I would not have expected Norway, Sweden and Finland to be included in this

Germany is loaded, it turns out. Most common means of transport to work by county in America

And it is driving alone in a car every single way. Apart from areas of Alaska where it's walking

I suppose that makes sense, Alaska being so rural. That's crazy though. And it's the fact that it specifies driving alone in a car

And there'll be such big cars that are so unnecessarily large. Oh, there is actually a teeny tiny bit of orange right there

That's public transportation. It's a shame that not more of this is public transportation, because obviously it's so much better for the world

than driving by yourself in your metal box. But it's crazy to see how dominating that is

Roads of the Roman Empire. Ooh, that looks epic. Get a little enhance, enhance here

Look at how much of England and Wales, they absolutely dominated. There'll be so many of these roads everywhere, still just in full use

People not even realizing they were built like 2,000 years ago. Look how many roads came out of Rome as well

They're really dominating that area. That is crazy. Most countries have been colonized by Europe

Okay, so this is Europe, fair enough. Then the dark blue is places that were at some point colonized or controlled by Europe

and it's basically everywhere. Some areas have been partially controlled or at least influenced by Europe

and then there are very few places in the world that have never been colonized by Europe at all

The Koreas and Japan being three examples. That is insane, isn't it? This is not a map I think is epic

The percentage of homes with air conditioning across the world. Oh, I would love air conditioning

I would go mad for air conditioning. I've got this fan and it doesn't even do the job

My camera still overeats. So 10% of Europe have got air conditioning. I would be interested to see UK specifically

Less than 5% of homes in the United Kingdom have air conditioning. Well, there you go

It's just not common at all here. Like I will admit I'm a pretty well-off guy. I still don't have air conditioning

Whereas 90% of the USA have got air conditioning in their homes. Oh, what a dream

And I know a lot of USA is warmer than Europe, but a lot of areas have got a similar climate

Why do we not have air conditioning? Quite a bit of Asia have air conditioning. Obviously areas like Japan, it's kind of essential at frequent points throughout the year

I feel sorry for the 9% that do not have air conditioning, but 90% USA

That's crazy. The Ivy League universities of the USA. So I don't know much about Ivy League universities at all

When I think of Cornell I think of Andy from The Office And when I think of Yale and Harvard I think of Rory from Gilmore Girls They literally my only points of reference to what I sure are very impressive educational systems Christianity in the Middle East

Okay, obviously we know Christianity in the Middle East is not particularly common, but it is most common in Cyprus at 78%

Obviously there's a bit of debate about if Cyprus is in the Middle East or not

Egypt's higher than I would expect, 10%. And then everywhere else, pretty much what you would think

We've got 0.2% for Yemen, basically nothing. 4.4% Saudi Arabia and presumably a lot of these are just people that aren't from this country

originally as well. When does a woman have her first child? Okay, this is interesting. Okay

so the average in the UK is at age 29, which yeah, I know people that have had children around that

age. In Ireland, it's a bit higher at 31. Interesting. And it does seem like pretty much

everywhere, the numbers are actually quite close. Like what is the lowest we've got here? Is it

Bulgaria at 26.6? Oh no, Moldova, 25 years old. Now when I think about me at 25

I do not think about me having a child. Like, if you're a young person, 25, you assume sounds like an adult

But trust me, when you are 25, you do not feel like an adult. But I honestly thought that in areas of Europe, the numbers would be much lower

So I suppose it's actually kind of nice to see. And I think it'll probably just keep getting a bit higher as well

Obviously, I know it does get more difficult to get pregnant when you sort of get into your 30s

Where you're most likely to get a speeding ticket. Oh, that's an interesting bit of data

So I suppose this will be a combination of things. It will be roads that people just really want to drive fast on

but also it'll just be areas with increased CCTV or stricter rules

And you can see it is kicking off in Ohio. You don't want to be speeding about in Ohio

That's what we're learning. The sign says 55 and by God, they mean 55

I hate driving across Ohio. So like I said, they must just be really, really strict there

Countries using the euro. Do you know what? I've been wanting a map like this. So most of Europe are now on the euros

Okay, cool. A few places are using it without EU approval, which is interesting. It looks like it's Montenegro and Macedonia. There's a few countries that aren't

in the EU, but they're still using the euro. Obviously, the United Kingdom is still using

the Great British Pound. What a surprise. It meant that I got charged up the wazoo on my debit card

when I had my little trip in Ireland last week. Countries where Twitter is blocked

All right, it's blocked in Russia, China, North Korea. I would not expect anything less. It's also

blocked in Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Nigeria, Iran, and recently it's being blocked in Brazil. I mean

I mean, in my opinion, Twitter has gone downhill a lot. It just feels like it's getting far more right wing

I don't really enjoy it at all anymore. Whoa, this is my part of your eyes to look at

Is your nation's capital the nearest national capital? Oh, it's so wacky looking

Okay, so basically what this means is if you live anywhere in this blue area of the United Kingdom

London is your closest capital. But if you dip into the red, even though you're still in the United Kingdom

your closest capital is actually Dublin in another country. And it works the same everywhere Obviously Iceland Reykjavik is nowhere near anywhere else Moscow takes up a pretty big chunk up here This is interesting isn it How do you make a map like this It must be so difficult

Map of British dialect. Ooh, okay, here we go. Right, well, let's zoom into where I'm from, which is County Durham

So, County Durham definitely does have its own accent, but it is similar to the Geordie accent

It is just not quite as strong. And I think people from down south would probably just have assumed that I was a Geordie

There's also an area called Smoggy, which despite me being here, I do not recognize what that word is. Most accents are named after the county that they are in

but there are a few exceptions, such as Cockney. Also, Potteries, which I've never heard of. We've

got Scouse, a very famous accent, and apparently, Barry, near Cardiff, has its own accent as well

I do love British accents. There is such an incredible variety, despite it being a pretty

small place. Frequency of red hair in Europe. This just shows how crazily rare red slash ginger hair

actually is. It's basically just Ireland and Scotland, and a little bit of Wales as well

And then this area of Russia, which is interesting. I did not know that. Over 10% of people in this area of Russia, is this Moscow maybe, have red hair

But everywhere else, it's a pretty rare thing. You know, we've got a lot of 5% to 9% and then mainly 1% to 2%

It really is way more rare than I realized just because a lot of people around me do have red hair

So I don't think of it as that crazy. Well, this sounds crazy. I just traveled to a remote village in Armenia to explore virtually unknown megalithic avenue

thought to be 6,000 to 8,000 years old. What I found is an incredible mysterious site lying in plain sight for thousands of years

Oh my god. Okay, so this is the area over in Armenia. And this is what it looks like

So it's basically just ruins from, you know, 6,000 to 8,000 years ago

And here it is from a bird's eye view lying in plain sight. But I suppose because it's such a rural area of Armenia, no one's really been to it

That's crazy. Egypt population density. This is always really cool to see. So basically, everyone in Egypt just lives around the Nile

Because this is the exact route of the Nile. And then you've got Cairo and Alexandria at the top

Obviously, so much of Egypt is like desert, basically the Sahara. How many US counties have a population greater than the state of Wyoming

Here is Wyoming for your reference. As you can see, it's bloody massive. And it's very square as well

But you can see there are so many places dotted about, despite being far smaller in terms of land size

that have a larger population. 582,000. A 3D figure of the Tokyo Metro System map

Whoa. They go downwards? Of course they do. But look at that. It's like a roller coaster

Obviously, Tokyo is absolutely ginormous, so I suppose... I can't get my head around this, actually

There are some big dips. I know that, obviously, like, metro systems, lots of them are underground

but some of this is so steep. They can't actually be that steep, right? Well, 25 largest lakes side-by-side, brackets

I didn't know the Caspian Sea counted as a lake. Well apparently it does and you can see it is way bigger than everywhere else That a sea That not a lake Other honourable mentions Lake Superior Lake Victoria Great Bear Lake Lake Malawi Great Slave Lake Not sure about the name of that one So many of these lakes are in North America aren they

This carpet is made to look like a satellite map. That is hideous

I mean, it's epic, but you wouldn't want it in your living room. Harris vs. Trump, ad spending and percentage of rallies per state

Whoa, they are spending crazy money. So they've each spent over $100 million on their advertising in Pennsylvania

That's mental, by the way. That is so much money. It's crazy, isn't it? How much kind of finances influence politics

And, you know, if you've just got way more money, you can just spread your message way easier. Brasilia in Brazil has direct flights to all state capitals

That is a lot of different state capitals. Fair play, Brasilia Airport. The 644,000 public transport stops of France

That is a lot of public transport spots. So they've pretty much got everywhere covered there

I guess a bit better in the middle, but there's probably not that much going on there. Three years ago, I spent too much time drawing one map

Whoa, I think we're going to need an Enhanced Enhanced. Oh my god, whoa, that's absolutely crazy

Is it like actually accurate or have you just made it up? A lot of it's called swamps

I think it's just made up because it's just random words like potato, leek, soup, lake

It's just a bit of fun. Oh my goodness, it looks incredible though, doesn't it? I like it a lot

It's so unbelievably detailed though. Australia is an archipelago divided by land instead of water

Very true. Basically, it is inaccessible for more or less 90% of the country

Everyone's just living by the coast. And then obviously, Perth over here is really split up from everywhere else

You can't completely safely drive from city to city. And it's also just way more efficient to get flights

Literal meanings of English counties. Ooh, this is an interesting one. Might require our last enhance, enhance

Okay, so Northumberland translates to land north of the Hummer. Ah, God, this is amazing

North Yorkshire is North Shire of the Place of Yew Trees. Okay

Where I'm from, County Durham, County of the Hill Island. Didn't know there was a Hill Island, but that's nice

Over in Cumbria, it's Land of the Fellow Countrymen. Norfolk and Suffolk are North People and South People

East Sussex, East Saxons. Oh, this is amazing. Cornwall is Foreigners of the Horn

Devon is Shire of the Dom Nonny People. Oh, this is amazing

This is so interesting to look through. Place at the Unformidable River, and that's London

Oh my goodness. Southern District, Shire of the Home Farm, Shire of the Willow Farm

This must go back such a long way. Shire of the Northerly Home Farm. Basically, everywhere in the United Kingdom's county is just named after some guy's farm

All right, that's really interesting. Thank you very much for watching. We're gonna end off there
