Ryan not knowing about the flat map projection distortion really hurt. Greenland is bigger there because it was drawn that way
It hurts yes
Australia is 4x bigger than Greenland, but an island is a mass of land that is both “entirely surrounded by water” and also “smaller than a continent.” By that definition, Australia can’t be an island because it’s already a continent.
@@skipper409 That depends on how you look at it. If you say that Australia is a country in Oceania then it is an island. If you say that Australia is the continent then it's a continent
He’s a dimwit.
@@skipper409 It is refereed to as an island continent quite often, so I guess it can be both too 🤔🤔
4:56 "Where's the line between Europe and Asia?" - Ryan asking, while looking at a picture of a world map with a line between Europe and Asia. Never change xD
Also the picture of russia there isn't russia it's soviet Union.
wich wasn't a correct line.
@@frozencrow8735 That's why I thought it looked a bit weird! Thank you 😂
@@frozencrow8735 it was a map of the tsardom of russia before the soviet Union was a thing
The map he is looking at is from pre 1870!
"If I wanted to go to paris I dont want go to Disneyland in Paris - I would go here" This is exactly the answer I was expection from an American 😂 It might be shocking to you but there are people living in Europe that want to visit Disneyland Paris.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. Disneyland Paris wasn't built for American tourists in Paris 🤣 Omg I can't
The only Disneyland where the staff obstinately speaks French.
I liked his answer, because he wants to visit culture and not typical "american things" like Disneyland.
I thought Parisians were horrified by its commerciality? Didn’t they try to ban it, and no one went, initially? (Disneyland?)
La Sagrada Família (translated The Holly Family) it's a cathedral not a castle. The architect (Antoni Gaudí) died during the initials works and the towers calculations are a bitch: towers of differents highs, slim and very little support at the base. The cathedral works with donations too making it's construction very slow. You have to see a video of the façade works. Gaudí was one of the most important architects in Spain and this cathedral it's possibly his most famous work.
If i can say a little more: Gaudi was really weird architect, he didn't do whole project on the paper instead he did some portion while builders were building, so architect and builders did their job at the same time, that's why Sagrada familia is really hard to finish (because there's still some unfinished parts) nobody knows how it should look like c:
@@TheFunSpace I didn't want to give too much information. Gaudí was a genious and his catenarian arch models are breathtaking to see.
Well I don't think weird is the word I would use to describe his work. Organic I think is the word.
You are correct: the new architects are working without original prints because Gaudí tended to have models to try his ideas.
Actually, it is not a cathedral, but a basilica. There is alrey a cathedral in Barcelona.
@@francoismartini5148 yes, people don’t know the difference. But Who came out with the idea of the sagrada familia said it would be the catedral of the people.
We must add the fact that the spanish civil war stopped the work and most of plans and models made by Gaudí were destroyed, what complicated the work of following architects.
The amount of sold chocolate at Brussels Airport is not as random as it may sound - Belgium chocolate is one of the best there is (in European standard). If I ever find myself there - I would definitely be one of the buyers.
Yep. There is only the debate wether Belgian or Swiss chocolate takes the crown, but although most European countries have fairly good chocolate, these two countries definitely excel.
@@kaidrache2395 As a Swiss both chocolate are really good. Some people likes the Belgian one bc it's really buttery and other like te Swiss one bc it feels less fat
Is famouse since always.
Actually the Germans in WWI called the blegium army "le arme du chocolat" (the chocolate army) to make funny of they because was a small army, but they fought hard af
Belgium Leonidas chocolate is the best. They were royal house chocolates providers.
@@WalterModel45 And they fought very hard on WWII too. They resisted 3 weeks by surprise attack from Germany, while the french army who was bigger aware to be attacked fall down in 2 weeks.
The Sagrada Família isn’t a castle. It’s a church
Came here for this comment, thanks.
Couple of things made me laugh.. "If I went to Europe I don't think I'd want to go to Disneyland"....Not EVERYTHING is built for the benefit of Americans! Many Europeans want access to the theme park without having to travel to the States so it's predominantly aimed at them....." What is the definition of an island... ". It is a land mass entirely surrounded by water, therefore, no, America isn't one....😲
Se ele tem a disney na América é normal querer ver a cidade e não visitar um parque temático como prioridade número um.
As for the definition of an island, it's a relevant question, because technically all continents, like America, are land masses surrounded by water. For the purposes of this definition, it has been decided that Australia represents the boundary, so it is sometimes considered an island, sometimes a continent and sometimes both. If Australia is considered an island, then it is by far the largest, otherwise it is Greenland.
Belgium doesn’t have the longest rail network, it has the most kilometre of rail lines per square kilometre of land area. Though depending how you count things (eg, including tram lines etc.), it’s actually in a close third place after Switzerland and Czechia (and that is not counting city states or small island states).
Yeah, I was also really surprised by this information. There's just not enough space for that in Belgium.
That's the most random video about Europe I've ever seen. Mainly a load of old cobblers. Greenland's not that big, its the map projection.
Greenland is about 2.17m Sq. Km in area, it’s fairly big, and is the biggest island in the world. An island being defined as a land mass completely surrounded by water and is not in itself a continent, although Australia is vastly bigger it is a continent it cannot be considered an island.
However, as you said, Greenland appears much larger than it actually is is because maps of the world distort sizes closer to the poles of the earth, further away from the equator the more distorted and less proportioned it becomes.
@@Siska0Robert Australia is a country, Oceania is a continent
and that map during the russia being 40% the size of europe is so bad too, like wtf did they do to all the borders and why are they using the ussr borders for russia
The "fact"Belgium's rail network being the longest in the world is also bs. In Europe Germany has a rail network of 33500 km, the U.S. Has the longest in the world with 150000km.
@@Siska0Robert No it is not.
The Map they used to Russia in Europe is an old one showing the Borders before WWI I think. - And the Border between Europe and Asia is the mountain range called Ural
glad i'm not the only one that saw that, and it was well before WW1, if you look closely you can see that Germany has not even formed yet, it might be a map from before or during the franco-german war.
yeh its a weird choice. Maybe the creator is a Putin fanboy? Would help him get rid off Finland in NATO =D
That map is at least 200 years old.
Thanks Ryan, now I know why there are no crocodiles in Iceland - it’s the Mosquitoes! 😅
natual line between asia and europe is Ural mountains range
Continents are usually defined by being on different tectonic plates. France was originally called Frankia, because the Franks took over from the Romans. Because the Latin alphabet doesn't have the letter 'K' it was replaced with the hard 'C'. That hard 'C' got mispronounced as a soft 'C' over time and Frankia became Francia and then France. Chocolate isn't random in Belgium. It's one of our national prides, along with waffels and fries (which aren't French, by the way, but Belgian, except that the elite in Belgium spoke French at the time of their invention and as a consequence fries were seen as French).
Na the fries were invented in Paris dude and that's why they were seen as French.
Simple as that.
And the Continents are not really scientifically defined, different cultures don't even count the same number of continents.
East of Russia is on the same tectonic plate as North America and we still say it's in Asia and not in North America.
India has his own tectonic plate and we still say India is in Asia.
The Arabian or Caribbean plates are not called continents either.
Europe and Asia are on the same tectonic plate but are considered 2 continents by most people.
And I could go on, continents are just not based on tectonic plates, it's a mix of geography, history and cultures, and as I said different countries don't even count them the same way, for example in South America, Spain or Portugal they count America as one continent.
If you don't think Greenland is an island you are not the only one, but as far as its size compared to Australia is concerned, that's to do with the Map projection used, Greenland is about half the size of Australia if shown on a different projection.
In danish France is still called Frankrig with the letter K
@@pernille8893 In Dutch it's "Frankrijk". Same thing
You forgot to mention Belgian beers.
Europeans in general do drink cappuccinos throughout the day. Not drinking it after noon is mostly an Italian thing. But even in Italy, as a tourist, no worries, nobody will shout at you for ordering a cappucino in the afternoon ;)
True! I'm from EU and I drink cappuccino only in the afternoon, because I prefer tea in the morning 🤷♀ Also I eat pizza with pineapple... I need to forget about going to Italy 🤣
Are you shure? 😏
That's is a crime here in Italy 🙂
@@francescogallina2559 not a bigger crime than ketchup on pizza, right? ;) I know you do consider it a strictly morning drink but at least as a tourist in Napoli, Bologna or Firenze nobody frowned at me when I ordered in the afternoon. Although probably they were just thinking "stupid tourist" ;)

Greenland is approximately 2,166,086 sq km, while Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, making Australia 257% larger than Greenland.
don't you know about how flat maps screw the relative sizes of countries?
Yet, Australia is a continent. That would be like saying 'Africa is bigger than Greenland.' As an island that is part of a continent, Greenland is the biggest.
@@cayreet5992 Australia is not a continent. Oceania is a continent and Australia is part of it.Australia is simply too big to be an island by definition but it's simply a geographical technicality that helps us categorize the earth and the nations but in reality it is an island. Americans have a serious need to study history and geography. The fact that you don't know the countries, where they are or that you don't even know what one of the most important monuments in the world (Sagrada Familia) is and why it hasn't been completed yet or that you don't even know how to compare a country on a map it is beyond my imagination. No offense, just reality
@@fra8167 If Australia was a continent, then, new Zealand is another continent? Is a country inside Australia? Americans really complicate things.
lets keep americans dumb, they pay for healthcare innovation and army
In Italy, cappuccino is regarded as a breakfast drink, drinking hot milk (which tends to be sweet) with coffee around lunchtime or worse after lunch is seen as a very strange thing.
This is because breakfast in Italy tends to be sweet, a coffee/cappuccino or tea plus the classic brioche or croissant or cornetto whatever (the last two are different things). This is why cappuccino is seen more as a morning thing, in general many drinks with milk are seen this way, cappuccino, caffè macchiato or latte macchiato (since milk contains sugar).
Well i am italian and cappuccino Is drunk also in the afternoon
THEY LITERALLY PUT A HUGE BLACK LINE TO SHOW YOU THE EUROPE ASIA BORDER. russia is part of both
Mr twin replied correctly -
Belgium may have the densest rail network in the world (you can go everywhere by train), but it's nowhere near the longest because the country is very small.
The geograpgical division between Europe and Asia is quite a celebrated feature for tourists.
Primarily in Russia, it's marked by a mountain chain.
But the most famous point of division is in Istanbul (Turkey) where one side of the city is in Europe and the other in Asia - you have to take a ferry to get across.
So you could say - Turkey is split in two.!!
Indeed, that fact about Belgium is completely wrong lol
you dont have to take a ferry to get across from European turkey to Asian turkey.. there are plenty of bridges
@@remirms2239 Well he should have said "most dense" network, instead of "longest".
I think the line between Europe and Asia is usually drawn across the Ural mountain range
There aren't any frogs or crocodiles in Iceland, either!
And no Mac Donald’s 😜
But they have a minisri for trolls and elves. Maybe the elves don't like mc donalds or mosquitos...
Istanbul has a bridge crossing the Bosphorus. It is Europe on one side and Asia on the other.

The number of continents actually varies depending on which region you live in, some areas of the world are taught there are 6, 5, or even just 4! There’s no singular basis on what defines a continent, its definition can vary between landmass, tectonic plates and even geopolitics.
True, or 7 continents
The same about oceans 4 or 5

"where is the line between Europe and Asia?" Literally looking at a map showing that line! 😂😂😂

the real name of the European continent is Eurasia
Eurasia is a geographical term for Europe and Asia jointly as a single continent, rather than two separate continents.
Geologists and geographers since Édouard Suess in 1883 agree to refer to Europe and Asia as a whole under this term, but few use it. Eurasia is rather a geopolitical notion
and we thank wikipedia 🙂
Hey, haven't you noticed Iceland has no crocodiles. The food chain thing is not BS! Seriously though, no mosquitos but plenty of midges and gnats.

What is it about Americans and everything being a castle.
It's a cathedral, designed by Gaudi, and they didn't "stop working on it", they didn't stop, so it's still a work in progress.
line between europe and asia goes trhough the western part of russia. since we can't attach pictures here you will have to look it up. but the point is that asia and europe aren't trully 2 continents it is a cultural and religious line more than a geographical one. so russia, by those terms, lies with it's western part in europe and with it's eastern part in asia. and you can actually feel the difference if you travel trough russia from west towards east. the same line also divides istanbul in the europan part and asian part.
Belgium chocolate is considered the best in the world beside Swiss chocolate, so it kinda makes sense that travellers want to take some with them.
I can clearly see that you should visit several countries here! you will have a lot of fun. Greetings from Czech republic.
2:57 Yes, in Belgium you can almost go everywhere with the train. When the railways staff are not striking that is, which happens rather frequently, especially in Wallonia.
:D Greenland is not bigger than Australia. But Australia is not an island, but a continent ;-)
[0:57] What makes a continent a continent are earth tectonic plates. Europe and Asia sit on the same plate Eurasian plate, that’s why the division for Europe and Asia is artificial. If by definition a continent had to be surrounded by water, than there would not be Nort and South Americas, just one giant America (Panama canal is an artificial creation, so doesn’t count as water surrounding Americas).
4:46 what's going on with east European countries ??? it's completely wrong, where is even Germany, Poland etc.?
Australia is nearly four times as large as Greenland.
Greenland is considered the biggest island because Australia is not considered an island.
You only see it bigger in the map because the Mercator projection (the most common in the western world) deforms the surface of the Earth (like all projections that try to fit a sphere's surface in a rectangle).
I think you'd like, in general, a video about the possible definition of continent (and the possible lists of continents) and/or about the borders of the continentes and their history, the one between Europe and Asia is pretty interesting.
If you find the building time of Kölner Dom Bauzeit Sagrada Familia high, try looking up the Kölner Dom (Cologne Catheral) ;)
6:00 - No, only the map projection is making it look huge. it is actually about 2 or 3 times smaller then australia
And the last one! Russia (Russian Federation) is the largest country in the world as stated in the video. It's land mass is divided into a european part, located westward of the Ural mountains and an asian part, located east of the Ural mountains. The black line, shown on the map, represents this "border" in between the continents of Europe and Asia. All knowledge is already available, one has just to find the right one!
belgium airport sell more chocolat than anywhere else , because they have the best chocolate
Belgian chocolate, just try some and you'll know why so much of it is purchased at that airport. 🍫 😋
That map at 4:50 is wroooong AF. Look at Europe wtf is that. Half nations are missing :D Also that Africa...WTF? :D
It's not wrong, it's just old. Judging by the borderlines, it's from somewhere between 1830 and 1860, prior to unification of both Italy and Germany. Most of African remained colonized until 1960, so that shouldn't come as a surprise.
I take that back, it has to be even older. I think Greece became independent in 1830 and it's not featured there. So maybe around 1820, just after Napoleon.
Bruh, the reason there are no mosquitoes in Iceland is not because they eradicated them. It's super cold there...
Fun fact about Lichtenstein: The Swiss accidentally invaded Lichtenstein 5 times in the last 55 years. Reasons: Swiss military is very active, there are no visible border lines and Lichtenstein is very small (62 sq mi, 40k citizens).
The Border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein is the Rhine River.
@@dernano5195 Good point. The "invasions" are probably airspace violations.

As a Belgian i can confirm that there are multiple train stations in every small city so you can pretty much get everywhere with the train fast

4:53 it's comedical how there is no border between poland and germany of al the borders you could forgo to draw.
The map looks kinda like pre-German unification, so pre 1871 to me, so the borders are absolutely not the way they are today.
@@thomasfranz6467 but the north is already unified, so if it makes any intrinsic sense that's pretty accurately the date
Wheres the line between Europe and Asia... he says while looking at a map that shows the line between Europe and Asia. Also Greenland is big but is very distorted on a map so isn't actualy nearly as big as you think
the geographical line is the ural mountains. i think he wanted to know this information ;-)

Austria didn't invent the croissant, it invented the pastry with crescent shape just after a victory against ottomans (the austrian pastry chef created that as if they ate the crescent moon of ottoman flag). But the croissant with pastry puff, as we know, is well a french invention.
The Austrian croissant looked more as a brioche than a pastry puff croissant. The shape creation isn't the pastry creation ! So come back francophiles !
The " sagrada familia" of Barcelona by Gaudí is a church no a Castle🤣
yeah, the railway system in Belgium is just that good. And with such a small country, you don't even need to consult a schedule, just go out to your nearest train station, no mater where you want to go, within 20 minutes max there will be a train to take you there. The "border" between Europe and Asia goes like this from North to South: Ural mountains, Caspian sea, Caucasus, Asia Minor (that's the main part of Turkey), the Bosporus strait, the Marmara sea, the Dardanelles strait. Also, the map showing the land mass of Russia is wrong, it shows Finland as being part of Russia.
Which is wishful thinking on Russia's part!
Belgian trains are indeed practical. Recently my train was delayed by half an hour(!), so I took the one 20 minutes later, so that I arrived at my destination on time. 😀

Europe is a definition-concept given by ancient Greeks applying to the portion of Eurasia going from the Ural mountains to the Atlantic coast of the Iberian peninsula. In fact, the words Hispania and Iberia come from Hispalo, Hercules relative, who touched its coasts in some of their sails accross the Mediterranean several centuries BC.
And I've just remembered, that the Romans named Africa, but it was just the bit of North Africa that we call Libya today, I don't know who decided that the whole continent should be called Africa,
@@lesleyhawes6895 Consensus among later explorers/historians ?¿?. Obviously, I understand that a land mass-extension kept its first name-geographic description until somebody else crossed/explored it totally and found another sea-ocean....., a huge mountain range ..., a geographical barrier that separated it from another land mass which was given a different name. That, independely and to ulterior political sub divisions...., regions/countries.
Mosquitoes are important pollinators like bees. This is how mosquitoes feed on nectar, only females drink blood, but in order to nourish the eggs with larvae that they will later lay. Many bird species also feed on mosquitoes.
San Marino is actually older than Bulgaria... the microstate has been around for 1721 years. It's the only country still in existence that was already around when there was a united Roman Empire. It's older than the city of Constantinople (yes, Byzantion was around before then, but it only became Constantinople 29 years after San Marino became independent).
And it's also the oldest democracy on earth.
San Marino has 2 birthday, one official in 1291 and one traditional in September 301. The traditional date is basically only a myth, so no, San Marino is not 1721 years old. Anyway San Marino is older than Bulgaria (indipendence date 1908). The oldest country in Europe (probably in the world) is Denmark that was born in the 8th century, followed by Portugal (1143).
The line that separates Europe and Asia is on the Urales, a group of mountains on a tectonic plate
4:53 The line between Europe and Asia is the thick black one. (Tribute to Captain Obvious 🤣)
No, seriously, this is the border you are looking for: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural_Mountains
From space or horse, you can't miss it.
In the Netherlands, we distinguish between continent (purely geological) and 'world part' (more cultural). Europe is a world part, but not a continent, it is part of the continent of Eurasia. Australia is a continent, but it belongs to the world part of Oceania (note if a landmass has multiple climates it is no longer considered an island). America is a special case because it consists of several geological landmasses that drift in different directions and it is only by chance that these happen to be somewhat connected in our time, so there are different views.
Belgium of course doesn't have the longest railway network, but we do have the most dense network, as in meters of railroad track per square kilometer.
I notice your reactions to the pomp and ceremony during our late Queens funeral.
You should check out the vids of the guards outside of the palaces etc. Tourists are beyond a joke with them.
Can't beat the Belgian chocolate
"Where is the line between Europe and Asia?" says American while looking at a map where there is a black line on a map, separating Europe and Asia......
Ryan, you should see more about the Sagrada Familia Basilica before commenting on the difficulty of its technique.
Its main architect was Antonio Gaudí, who tragically died after being run over by a tram. He designed a unique structure in the world inspired by nature, so the columns that support the very high domes and towers of the building curve in the air as if made of branches. it was about. A view of the interior of the basilica would leave you shocked and amazed by its spectacular nature.
The main problem why it is still under construction has to do with the destruction of a good part of the plans during the Spanish civil war and the poor economic situation during the post-war period and the autarkic dictatorship that maintained power in the country for the next 36 years. Its construction is currently being completed thanks to donations and through the collaboration of professionals from around the world.
The pyramids of Egypt must have undoubtedly been a tremendous challenge in their time, but the structural complexity and profuse decoration of each element of the Sagrada Familia are on another level. It would be like comparing a piano to the organ of a cathedral.
I would like to suggest that you react to a video about it, since it is the type of thing that does not exist in the United States but in Europe is part of its identity. This is in English: ua-cam.com/video/51rFA1Bz_kk/v-deo.html
I'm amazing at how unforgiving some of your watchers are! For me, anyone learning, and sharing their knowledge is an awesome human!!

4:38 can someone explain what kind of map this is ??? cause it clearly doesnt show borders or it does but the person who made it just gave up

There is no single definition of continent. Geologists, politicians and others will all use different versions depending on context. A good example is the Americas. Certain cultures think there are two American continents, others think there is only one.
Europe is rather arbitrarily divided from Asia due to history, which also makes the borders of Europe very fuzzy. Certain nations at the edge of Europe will get very heated about whether they are European or not and consider it an attack on their culture to suggest things one way or the other.
It's good having a Disneyland in Paris. You can visit on the way back from a holiday in Spain where you can visit Gaudi buildings!!
Disneyland is not in Paris, is in Chessy - Marne-la-Vallée that is neither in the same department of Paris (anyway parisiens count Disneyland visitors as Paris visitors).
The map showing Russia is showing completely wrong borders. Looks like a century old.

Australia is 2 968 000 mi² while Greenland is only 836 300 mi², the reason that Greenland is larger on the map is because it is further away from the equator and because the Mercator projection things further from the equator looks larger than things closer to the equator. Australia is considered a continent and not an island (not sure about the difference, if someone could enlighten me I would be grateful).
Sagrada familia is not the cathedral It’s a temple, the cathedral of Barcelona was built at around XII century and is located in the “Barri Gótic”

"The most general markers of the Europe-Asia border are (from the north): the Baydarata River, the Ural Mountains, the Emba River or the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Kumsko-Manytsk Depression, the Sea of Azov, the Kerch Strait, the Black Sea, the Bosphorus Strait, the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles Strait and the Aegean Sea."
They used WW1 map of Russia but the borders between Europe and Asia are very easy to spot. To the east its the Urals mountains, to the south it is the Caucas mountains.

Greenland = 2.166.000 km²
Austalia = 7.688.000 km²
USA = 9.834.000 km²
Europe = 10.530.000 km²
BTW, the 80 soldiers could be the whole army. Look up the size of the country. Its a bit over 15 miles long and 8.5 miles wide.
Size is not important 🙂, population is. 39 000
« Greenland is way bigger than Australia ». @ryan No. Australia is more than 3.5 times the size of Greenland.
