Have only one more day to work and then up, up and away to Florida for my mama's 81st birthday party!

I just knew that Africa, India, China, Russia, and South America and Canada are all huge counties but then I mostly looked at a globe map. Don't have time to watch the clip. I take your word for the info.

Do me a favour and check out some of the class rooms where you're teaching and let me know if you find these old maps have been replaced by globes.

It's just like people at the time of Columbus thinking the world is flat. And us thinking that our continents are a different size/perspective than they are. Just the fact that this new map exists means that there's change afoot. The larger consciousness is starting to shift the balance of power. Thank you so much for sharing this.
