It's all about the Ice wall, Jaudan. And Magellan just flitted his boat to the ice wall, went around the circumfrence of the earth once, then came home and said "I've been mutinied against! So I'm not really hear to claim victory! Ignore my ravings!" And his crew was summarily executed for the heresy of a flat earth. The Church has always historically been very hush hush about the truth--them and their round earth. Bastards! Ice wall. It’s all about the Ice wall, Jaudan.

Science has clealry already proven that the Earth is indeed spherical in shape. If this were not the case, then how did Magellad sail around the world without falling off the purported "edge" you would have people beleive. You people are silly.

]]> Comment on More Principles of Map Design by Anna http://makingmaps.wordpress.com/2008/02/05/more-principles-of-map-design/#comment-535 Anna Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:34:56 +0000 http://makingmaps.wordpress.com/?p=93#comment-535 I would say one word to describe the new exhibition Maps: Finding Our Place in the World: incredible. Everything in this exhibition is an incredible example of mapping, sure, but also history, art, literature, technology, psychology… it hits on so many different aspects of life. I was recently at a preview where the curator, Will Noel, walked us through the exhibition. When He asked us how long ago we thought the Chinese men had mapped out their paths & routes on stone while estimating the gridlines accurately, he said...1130 B.C. What?! Incredible! This exhibition had me saying that a lot! It's a chance to see and learn about rare art and artifacts for all ages. I definitely say it is a must see! Go to www.baltimore.org/maps/maps.php for more info and to see videos of the curator talking about the exhibition.
