According to the map, I live on an ancient shore line. When my dad was a little boy, he found what he hoped was a moon rock, but it turned out to be an ancient sea sponge! I still have it :)
Moon Rock haha. Oh god you poor sap you bought an illusion. We know that we can not leave the earth. The organism and it's environment are One. Does it hurt to imagine that we could leave the earth. Build rockets lunar modules moon rovers when we know the moon is not a physical object that can be landed on. It's see thru at times. One time is too many. Plan missions to Mars when we know planets don't exist. The wondering star's. They're just lights in the night sky.
Parts of Iraq have been part of: Akkadian empire, Assyrian empire, Babylonian empire, Persian empire, Alexander's empire, Parthian and Achaemenid empires, Roman and Byzantine empire, Sassanid empire, Rashidin, Umayyid, and Abassid caliphates, the Mongol Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and finally the British Empire before achieving independence. Now they are under the competing influence of the Americans, the Iranians, and the Saudis. I can't think of a region that has been part of more world-historic empires.
The world divides into two kinds of people: "map people" and "table people." So what happens when these groups need to communicate with one another? Answer: they use a chart, which is really just a map of a table.
@@7788Sambaboy nope, it's not the fault of the people; you elect among the candidates the ruling Elite (banks, multinationals, etc) lets you elect. It's the same in all countries. Here in Argentina for example, we have basically 2 choices: The populists, which gift you the fish (a small fish) but don't give you the fishing rod. And the conservatives; which not only don't give you the fish or the fishing rod, but they rob you the few fish you got left!
Native from Oklahoma. I live in the Native grouping located in Oklahoma so I always grew up around other Natives. But Oklahoma was where they had sent all of the tribes that they could. So there's a wide variety of Natives here and I honestly love that about living in that area of Oklahoma. So many cultures.

On the first map, cow pasture/range is basically just wild nature with some cows on it and some fence posts surrounding it… although many don’t even have fences. It’s not all industrial cattle farms
And most of it is poor soil and/or arid conditions where grazing livestock is the most economical use of the land. It might be a big area, but it's a lot of land per cow.

Fun fact, while CA dominates the news for its place with most expensive wildfires (insurance payouts) and most uncontrolled burns, the majority of wildfires in the USA occur in the south and southeastern states in both number and size...they are just more readily managed because their states don't prohibit proactive management of fire risk by state law the way CA does (not my words nor Trumps...that comes from the National Park Service which is the only place in CA where wildfire management practices are implemented...and don't burn like the rest of CA does)
Limburgish- Yeah, that map is simplified to the point of being worthless. Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse are depicted as "rural housing". The Adirondacks and a fair chunk of Vermont are called "urban commercial". Maine is referred to as "urban housing". Etc.
Also, what about the Persian and Ottoman empires? Or the Macedonian empire of Alexander the Great? I would say, from my American perspective, that the Persian is more well known/famous than the Mongol empire.
Interesting, love visual learning. Would appreciate references of where you found these maps so we can judge for ourselves accuracy, or if we want to learn more
Fun fact: Most of the skyscrapers built in the 20s are mostly built by Italians and Irish people. That's probably why they're situated in the northeast. Why?

@Salami You do realise that 100 families don't farm that much land themselves, right? It's probably farmland alright, but I fail to see why it's 'good' that it's owned by just a couple hundred people instead of independent farmers
Exantius E I mean, how or even why would you try to change it? Not everyone wants to be a farmer or a rancher, what are you gonna do force people to work on farms?
@@coleball6001 I don't like the fact that 100 families basically control our food supply by the control of the land for it. The other reason, is that it is unlikely that this fact just occurred 'naturally' through simple market forces of supply and demand. There have been concerted policies using government influence towards monopolies that have resulted in this outcome. It is almost like the opposite of market forces, and so we no longer see a very competitive market in agriculture. Your question misses logicial seequence. Instead I ask, Why would anyone want to become a farmer if they would have to compete with or need to succomb to the pricing power of the behemoths. If there is one way I would advocate change would be to get money out of politics, a perversion that has led to big agro, and many oligopolistic outcomes.
This does not show ANY comparison information at all. A bunch of un-connected data color-coded on a map is as useless as a random list of regions and possible uses. With no correlation data, the two lists are USELESS!
I once saw a Japano-centric map at work, where Japan was in the dead centre, and everything else was weirdly skewed and warped (like Antarctica and the Americas being really small).

"the roman empire and the mongol empire did not coexist" *after 5 seconds shows the map of Byzantine Empire (which is the legit continuation to Roman Empire, aka, Eastern Roman Empire) and the Mongol Empire*
@@TThompson2000 see it like this, the roman empire was at it's peak in the second century AC while the mongol empire was at it's peak much later in the 13th or 14th century( I think).
The Byzantine empire was roman in name only, and it had less legitimacy than the HRE, when the pope crowned Charlemaigne he did it with the authority of the roman senate wich was still around and was still around in renaissance times. Besides, how can you call your empire riman if you don't hold Rome or at least derive your authority directly from there?
@@arx3516 ...so that would be kind of like the 13 colonies claiming Mexico was the enheritor of the Norman "empire" Making a Germanic association of city states the new Roman empire was a political move.. probably to piss off the orthodox church. The fact the Byzantine Empire has a direct line from Rome and held onto most of what made Rome great has actual legitimacy. I guess you could reverse your argument and say the Holy Roman Empire was Roman in name only..
@@edgeldine3499 The HRE wasn't "a Germanic association of city states" it was comprised of kingdom of Germany AND kingdom of Italy, you could'nt become emperor if you weren't king of both. the HRE was just as german as it was italian, at least 3 emperors were in fact from Italy. And when Italy unified in 1870 the HRE officially ceased to exist, since it lost the italian part, and became the austro hungarian empire, changing its flag. If the HRE was just a german thing it would'nt have been the mess that it was, it would have become a unified monarchy like France or Spain by the 12th century, ruling the german vassals was the easy part of being emperor, the real problem was to deal with the italian noble families, republic city states, and the Pope. But in the end it was the roman senate who decided if someone could become Holy Roman Rmperor, SPQR!

There's plenty of Americans with Polish, especially Polish, and Russian heritage. It's just that there's apparently no counties in the country that are predominantly of that heritage.
@@MikeDindu - That's bogus. Look at Alaska! Unless they have ~5 oddly proportioned counties, I can almost guarantee Russians are underrepresented or unrepresented I guess... There's a substantial Russian population in Alaska. & I mean bona-fide Russians - they're settled in towns across a large area where people speak Russian, not English. There's even Eastern Orthodox architecture in Alaska... They attract tourism because it's access to Russian culture - I've even visited a Russian town myself when I was in Alaska...(?)
Really, I find that fascinating as well. I mean, everyone is watching after there likes and I can't see your channels. All I ever got was normal stuff for me and not even on recommended or trending page I have seen any video about it. Only the TV's have said news about it!! >_
That's interesting that Weyerhaeuser is on the map and how much they take up. My dad is a logger/log truck driver and he's cut their trees and hauled their logs a lot (among several other companies/private landowners). I've heard him talk about them almost my entire life. A lot of times, we'll be driving somewhere and we'll be surrounded by woods and he'll tell me that Weyerhaeuser owns likes thousands of acres there. I know people kind of frown on logging, but my dad considers himself somewhat of an environmentalist and a lot of those companies like that just have tree plantations where they plant, cut and replant. A lot of the clear cutting is either done by individuals who are clearing for development or they clear it and replant. Most logging operations in the US are pretty responsible. And usually, the loggers don't even own the land themselves - they're just doing whatever the owners want. I've been to a lot of job sites with my dad and worked with him for several years and the land looks really ugly and destroyed after clear cutting, but it's usually only temporary. Everything rots, disappears and regrows or is replanted - unless they're keeping it clear.
Just FYI: The "educational background of world leaders" map is inconsistent on weather they choose the head of state of the head of government. Evidence: 1) The UK's prime minister (head of government) in 2018 was Theresa May. She is a bachelor of science in the field of geography - so the UK would be black on this map. But it is actually red (for military background) as the Queen of the United Kingdom (head of state) was trained as driver and mechanic in the army during WW2, achieving the female equivalent of "captain" on merit. 2) Germanys Bundespräsident (head of state) in 2018 was - and still is - Frank Walter Steinmeier. He is a doctor of law, so his educational background would color germany light blue. But it is colored black (for maths and science background), because the Bundeskanzler (head of government) in 2018 was - and still is - Angela Merkel, who is a doctor of physics. Conclusion: The UK is colored for their head of state, Germany for their head of government. I didn't check the rest ;)
Based on those two examples, i think they chose the most recognized option: ask a random person in the world who leads the UK and they would probably say the queen / monarch... Ask them about Germany, and they would probably say the chancellor.
@@irrelevant_noob Okay, that would explain some of the inconsistencies... for example all the Commonwelath realms have their head of government as reference, except the UK which has the head of state (as discussed above), because when asking "Who leads Canda?" nobody would answer "Well, the Queen ofcourse.", even though that is as true as it is for the UK. But then Austria remains questionable, because they have the exact same system as Germany, so _clearly_ the question "Who leads Austria?" should return the Chancellor, not the President, right? But the color is teal (indicating the economic background of president _van der Bellen_ ) and not blue or grey (indicating the started, but not finished degree of law of chancellor _Kurz_ in 2018). Honestly, the more I look at this map and check the countries, the more I get the feeling that it was done by an american or a south african who doesn't understand the difference between head of state and head of government, because for them it's the same *person* even though they are different *functions* ...

Wow! If you carefully trace the outline of flamingo habitat, and tweak it a little, re-arranging it slightly, and using the continents as a distraction, you have a clear depiction of three flamingos facing west, each with one white eye and one pink eye. That's amore!
To answer one question - I'm pretty sure the leaders' background one, for the UK at least, is referring to the Queen not the PM, because it put us in the military category - the Prime Minister at the time had no background there, but the Queen was in the army during WW2.
In 1939 (the year England declared war on Germany), the Queen you're speaking of was 13 years old... How can you say that she was part of the army? She has no background. Except for being a useless piece of History.
@@bengagnon2894 you realize how easy it is in 2021 to open up Google and do a simple search to fact check something you don't know about right? Queen Elizabeth enlisted in the ATS women's branch at 18 years of age in 1944 then training as a mechanic in 1945. So in the traditional sense, sure yeah she wasn't on the front lines in trenches or what have you but she did serve essentially as soon as she could.

I think the ancestry map only showed Germany as the dominant group because they bunched Central and Eastern Europe together. Poland and Russia also make up a big chunk of the ancestry groups
Well, for ancestry, "Germany" itself is only a sliver of the true consideration aka Germanic Tribes from which many nations derive their ancestry, and who were also revered for taking down the Roman Empire for example. Scandanavian, Spanish, French, and many others are of said Germanic Tribes. Germany itself is just a way for the superficially minded to have a sort of "placeholder" as some minor frame of reference.
@conker bad day The foundation of My initial comment revolves around Germanic Tribes, not simply the conventional label of today. I don't generally refer to the current as the foundation nor simply the locale of todays general comprehension.
As someone with Dutch ancestry on my father's side and recent ancestry on my mother's side (her grandmother emigrated to the US from Germany during or just after WW2), I was very surprised by the very little amount of people in the US with Dutch ancestry. I live in Michigan, in the center of the concentration of English and Dutch ancestry in the Lower Peninsula. Also, a fun tidbit of information, more likely rumor, is that my great-grandmother on my mother's side was a Nazi sympathizer.
The map does not depict "majorities" but local pluralities (largest common ancestry group, they could report several ancestries anyhow). Dutch ancestry is surely not that rare but distributed in areas where English or German or other is just more common.
Well, there are quite a bit of folks and place names in the counties just north of Manhattan, NYC, NY that are carry overs from New York being New Amsterdam. And of course, don't forget that the Roosevelts (FDR and Teddy) were Dutch descendants.
A majority of white people in the USA are of German descent ,and it shows in their DNA .Had Congress voted to have German ,rather than English as the main language of the USA, German and not English would be the chief international language. American English has German Grammar as the basis of its syntax, particularly in the Tense system used for verbs, and in the use or lack of use of Prepositions. I speak English English as my first language and German as my second language. It would be better to call the English spoken in the USA as "American" . "American" and "English" are related languages ,with important differences ,rather like Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. As we come from Cumbria (Cumberland) we can understand Danish an Norwegian ,as Cumbrian dialect is closely related to these languages
@@sheilanixon4479 - The USA has no official language, or at least it was that way not long ago. English is the de facto national language for historical reasons, just as Spanish is in Argentina in spite of massive Italian immigration in the 19th century. German migration to the USA is relatively late in the history of the country, by then English was well established as dominant language (except maybe in Pennsylvania, German, and Louisiana, French).
I'm not sure. Those divisions seem to be based on the idea that state borders should run along the lines dividing ethnic groups. Which could be more stable than arbitrarily splitting ethnic groups by state borders and having those fragmented groups share their state with fragments of other ethnicities. The Yugoslav wars were such a mess because the borders of the constituent states did not align with where Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs actually lived. However, I think in practice most large communities are not 100% Serbs or 100% Croats and people are a lot more mixed. Going purely by ethnic majorities when defining state lines would likely cause minorities to feel even more like minorities, which could make things worse.
Unlike you, English is obviously his second language. His usage of English is a tad better than your appreciation of English punctuation - so, there's that... NEXT!

A thematic map is a type of map that portrays the geographic pattern of a particular subject matter (theme) in a geographic area. This usually involves the use of map symbols to visualize selected properties of geographic features that are not naturally visible, such as temperature, language, or population.[1] In this, they contrast with general reference maps, which focus on the location (more than the properties) of a diverse set of physical features, such as rivers, roads, and buildings.[2][3] Alternative names have been suggested for this class, such as special-subject or special-purpose maps, statistical maps, or distribution maps, but these have generally fallen out of common usage.[4][5] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic_map
About flamingos: they are more than one species, indeed only South America has three! I don't know exactly why they are distributed in that way, but i think that is because of their preference for the lagoons, that are not common in south-est asia
This keeps coming up as a "surprising" fact- the amount of land used for cow production/pasture. This land is typically not viable for anything else. Good example- most of Australia.
Is most of Australia even viable as pasture? As I understand it from reading Jared Diamond, most of the grazing in Australia is done by sheep and it's incredibly damaging to the environment, notably desertifying a lot of land because, as the grass gets eaten, the thin top soil disperses.
@@JohnMoseley Not with the standard definition of pasture. Central Australia is mostly desert scrub that is viable to cattle, camels. There are cattle stations in the center that can be close to 1 million Hectares and run thousands of head of cattle, but have to a rate of only a few cows per hectare. They need helicopters to perform any sort of rounding up etc. That section of the map that shows the few % of human population, are close to the ares that grow "pasture" and would run crops and sheep. In australia a common farm grows wheat and sheep, feeding the sheep off the wheat stubble, and off the fallow feilds as the wheat grows. Its quite a bit different from the US/Europe system of livestock raising.
Most of the US west of the rockies and away from the coastlines is arid land not adequate for farming but can sustain cattle... The idea that this is a terribly large land mass dedicated to beef..... not representing the power of the beef industry, but as mentioned, the land has little other use
these maps help make sense both USA and especially Australia.... looks nice, sounds nice (a *whole* continent as country), yet very little land as we usually think of it, as not rocky mountain or deadly desert. to be fair, USA has plenty of land, but Australia not so with these limitations.
Regarding the south western coast of Africa: the desert goes from very far inland all the way to the beaches in what is mostly Namibia. I’ve travelled that area a little and witnessed the arid climate, the Skeleton Coast and seen other wildlife such as the hyena and oryx living there. Flamingos need water, wetlands in large expanses. Angola is also there, a country which is growing quite fast and has built dams that has restricted the water flowing south, endangering the beautiful wildlife habitats greatly.
I’ve seen the cow pasture thing and it’s almost always misrepresented. There are large parts of the United States that are extremely useless. If anyone has driven through parts of Texas New Mexico and Arizona they know that you drive for hours upon hours and see nothing of value. That land will be considered cow pasture on the first map. They do graze cows on most of it but it will be one cow per 2-5 acres. So a very small amount of cows per amount of land. If it were productive land that could be used for anything else it would be but it’s very dry and remote. Also I’m curious how the huge parts of the western half of the United States that the federal government owns is displayed on this map. A large piece of Southern California is federal land also Utah Nevada and many other states are owned by the federal government and a lot of it for the same reason as the cow pasture, it’s useless land. Appears to me the map was put together by someone to show how “wasteful and ignorant” the greatest country in the world is. Disinformation on display. Gets clicks right?
A whole lot of land could fall into multiple categories. A lot of grazing land is federally owned. And a lot of it could also be considered a desert or idle/fallow because it’s just a barely useable part of a ranch. Also, the land owned by the 100 biggest landowners is going to be used for something. And there’s no way this map can be accurate without including Alaska and Hawai’i. “Food we eat” would include maple syrup, barley, corn syrup, and alol the ranching land. And there’s no section for land that’s used for energy production like coal mines and oil fields. The map is an absolute disaster.
@@AndyOamo I think you read the map wrong friend. It's not even a real map. It's a graph comparing the amount of land used for certain things / owned by certain groups. The graph is just shaped like the USA. It's not at all showing were those types of land lie within the US. How the video gets invalid because of that first "map" is also unclear to me. He just says he finds those things interesting, not even claiming they are all accurate. Now if you wanna say that map pissed you off so much that you were not in the emotional state to appreciate the rest of the video, that's something else.
The US map of counties by ancestry is off. According to the map Wisconsin is all German yet Manitowoc County the vast majority is Polish (I was born and grew up there should know. Just look in the phone book and see all the names ending in "ski". Also, there are counties in Wisconsin that are primarily Dutch.

I actually just figured this outdifferent than what I learnedwe live on you know what, no let me rephrase that we do not live on a spinning ball. Our Earth is more of a flat plane with vastly different topography. one of the things I have found interesting about the continent size disparity topic, and whatever they actually stretch them.I'm not sure if it's the upper continents or the bottom continents on the globe but think that United States and Africa are relatively the same sizewhen in fact our entire country could sit inside of the Sahara.one of the interesting I think things that I have found about this is that as you take b flat Earth map and put it on a ball ,perspective of this supposed shape of the earth 🌎, you actually can one a good match up to what we are taught the globe isball because once again it's a different map and vastly different navigating techniques would be needed...further into the southern hemisphere they were. well if you understand that we live on the flatterer then you can begin to decimate and understand why that is. Acme North Pole the top of the ball would be the center of our circular map...not spherical. And the quote-unquote South Pole is literally all around Antarctica is not a continent it is a ice wall impenetrable barrier. It is the highest elevated walkable service on Earth they say. However those giant chunks of the map that I mentionedmight have other land Admiral Byrd in his interview in like 1933 or 5 or whatever it was imagining 233 being there he claimed there was an entire continent that had not yet been explored by humans.also 50 million dollars a day stolen from us by NASA (Hebrew for: to mislead and deceive) center in the North and then everythingidea what is beyond about 72 miles above us.and that information is obtained from a document that is no longer secret or confidential it was released to the public called operation fishbowl.Truth is I could go on about many documents like every agency for aviation in any countryan airplane by the way not an are planet

How do you go from atmosphere to thinner atmosphere to magically just in a vacuum where's the barrier according to the heliocentric model now geocentric model hasn't answer it is that there is a dome over top of everything we know to be our world...remember not Globe flat you got to get the glove thought out of your head yes you cannot put a dome over a ball it would simply become a ball inside of another.so you violated the second law of thermodynamics by this magical entity of a vacuum with nothing to actually contain the pressure and make it a vaccume. So you have violated a known physical law and you have no way to explain it great. Let's talk about the third law of thermodynamics it is the inverse Square law.it basically tells you that has anything gets further away from you it loses its energy in intensity . Referring to the Sun that would be light and heat.cannot give you the answer to what it really is.I simply don't know what it is I can tell you a hundred percent what it is not. It is not 90 anyting million miles away and it is also not eight ball of fire inside of a vacuum of space I hope anyone reading this that chooses to respond cuz I know I'm going to get some responses..not be able to burn if there's no oxygen. Prove me wrong create a 🔥 without o2 .inversely squared to that particular distance...you might very well not be for a good day..able to look at it it's still super brightit has lost enough of its intensity in just 35 feet to make it able to tolerate looking at...because you don't even have the thinking ability...evidence anyway because it doesn't exist but how would heat and lightdoes not travel forever that is ridiculous....fires in a vacuum of this place called spaceand therefore the light can travel forever they say in all directions from each 🌟 then how is there ever anything but a lit up backdrop because they say there is an infinite amount of Stars shining an infinite amount of light in all directions infinitely I have 5th grade kids they can figure it out..

6:20 I might be wrong but I think the Germans are the US largest ancestry group at 43 million people or 13.26% of the population en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans
After he made the point of saying these were "by County" figures & don't reflect the total population distribution of ancestral nationalities... Your point being?
pauliec17 He said that even though it covers the most counties, it is not the biggest group in terms of real numbers, when Germans are the largest ancestry group in the US by real numbers.

Parts of Iraq have been part of: Akkadian empire, Assyrian empire, Babylonian empire, Persian empire, Alexander's empire, Parthian and Achaemenid empires, Roman and Byzantine empire, Sassanid empire, Rashidin, Umayyid, and Abassid caliphates, the Mongol Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and finally the British Empire before achieving independence.

On the first map, cow pasture/range is basically just wild nature with some cows on it and some fence posts surrounding it… although many don’t even have fences. It’s not all industrial cattle farms
Indeed. And most of it is probably owned by the federal government. It's just more federal wilderness that is open to grazing.
And most of it is poor soil and/or arid conditions where grazing livestock is the most economical use of the land. It might be a big area, but it's a lot of land per cow.

Fun fact, while CA dominates the news for its place with most expensive wildfires (insurance payouts) and most uncontrolled burns, the majority of wildfires in the USA occur in the south and southeastern states in both number and size...they are just more readily managed because their states don't prohibit proactive management of fire risk by state law the way CA does (not my words nor Trumps...that comes from the National Park Service which is the only place in CA where wildfire management practices are implemented...and don't burn like the rest of CA does)

100 famillies own more land than all the urban housing combined, Insane.
I would assume that alot of it is farmers. or major farm families? in which case they provide food for the people? Maybe that's a good thing if true.
@Salami You do realise that 100 families don't farm that much land themselves, right? It's probably farmland alright, but I fail to see why it's 'good' that it's owned by just a couple hundred people instead of independent farmers
The map is kind of weird, because I don’t know their definition of owning land. I mean, is that land pasture? Farmland? Or Apartment buildings?
Exantius E I mean, how or even why would you try to change it? Not everyone wants to be a farmer or a rancher, what are you gonna do force people to work on farms?
@@coleball6001 I don't like the fact that 100 families basically control our food supply by the control of the land for it. The other reason, is that it is unlikely that this fact just occurred 'naturally' through simple market forces of supply and demand. There have been concerted policies using government influence towards monopolies that have resulted in this outcome. It is almost like the opposite of market forces, and so we no longer see a very competitive market in agriculture. Your question misses logicial seequence. Instead I ask, Why would anyone want to become a farmer if they would have to compete with or need to succomb to the pricing power of the behemoths. If there is one way I would advocate change would be to get money out of politics, a perversion that has led to big agro, and many oligopolistic outcomes.

@@TThompson2000 see it like this, the roman empire was at it's peak in the second century AC while the mongol empire was at it's peak much later in the 13th or 14th century( I think).
The Byzantine empire was roman in name only, and it had less legitimacy than the HRE, when the pope crowned Charlemaigne he did it with the authority of the roman senate wich was still around and was still around in renaissance times. Besides, how can you call your empire riman if you don't hold Rome or at least derive your authority directly from there?
@@arx3516 ...so that would be kind of like the 13 colonies claiming Mexico was the enheritor of the Norman "empire"
Making a Germanic association of city states the new Roman empire was a political move.. probably to piss off the orthodox church. The fact the Byzantine Empire has a direct line from Rome and held onto most of what made Rome great has actual legitimacy.
I guess you could reverse your argument and say the Holy Roman Empire was Roman in name only..
@@edgeldine3499 The HRE wasn't "a Germanic association of city states" it was comprised of kingdom of Germany AND kingdom of Italy, you could'nt become emperor if you weren't king of both. the HRE was just as german as it was italian, at least 3 emperors were in fact from Italy. And when Italy unified in 1870 the HRE officially ceased to exist, since it lost the italian part, and became the austro hungarian empire, changing its flag. If the HRE was just a german thing it would'nt have been the mess that it was, it would have become a unified monarchy like France or Spain by the 12th century, ruling the german vassals was the easy part of being emperor, the real problem was to deal with the italian noble families, republic city states, and the Pope. But in the end it was the roman senate who decided if someone could become Holy Roman Rmperor, SPQR!

That's interesting that Weyerhaeuser is on the map and how much they take up. My dad is a logger/log truck driver and he's cut their trees and hauled their logs a lot (among several other companies/private landowners). I've heard him talk about them almost my entire life. A lot of times, we'll be driving somewhere and we'll be surrounded by woods and he'll tell me that Weyerhaeuser owns likes thousands of acres there. I know people kind of frown on logging, but my dad considers himself somewhat of an environmentalist and a lot of those companies like that just have tree plantations where they plant, cut and replant. A lot of the clear cutting is either done by individuals who are clearing for development or they clear it and replant. Most logging operations in the US are pretty responsible. And usually, the loggers don't even own the land themselves - they're just doing whatever the owners want. I've been to a lot of job sites with my dad and worked with him for several years and the land looks really ugly and destroyed after clear cutting, but it's usually only temporary. Everything rots, disappears and regrows or is replanted - unless they're keeping it clear.
Just FYI:
The "educational background of world leaders" map is inconsistent on weather they choose the head of state of the head of government. Evidence:
1) The UK's prime minister (head of government) in 2018 was Theresa May. She is a bachelor of science in the field of geography - so the UK would be black on this map. But it is actually red (for military background) as the Queen of the United Kingdom (head of state) was trained as driver and mechanic in the army during WW2, achieving the female equivalent of "captain" on merit.
2) Germanys Bundespräsident (head of state) in 2018 was - and still is - Frank Walter Steinmeier. He is a doctor of law, so his educational background would color germany light blue. But it is colored black (for maths and science background), because the Bundeskanzler (head of government) in 2018 was - and still is - Angela Merkel, who is a doctor of physics.
Conclusion:
The UK is colored for their head of state, Germany for their head of government. I didn't check the rest ;)
Based on those two examples, i think they chose the most recognized option: ask a random person in the world who leads the UK and they would probably say the queen / monarch... Ask them about Germany, and they would probably say the chancellor.
@@irrelevant_noob Okay, that would explain some of the inconsistencies... for example all the Commonwelath realms have their head of government as reference, except the UK which has the head of state (as discussed above), because when asking "Who leads Canda?" nobody would answer "Well, the Queen ofcourse.", even though that is as true as it is for the UK.
But then Austria remains questionable, because they have the exact same system as Germany, so _clearly_ the question "Who leads Austria?" should return the Chancellor, not the President, right? But the color is teal (indicating the economic background of president _van der Bellen_ ) and not blue or grey (indicating the started, but not finished degree of law of chancellor _Kurz_ in 2018).
Honestly, the more I look at this map and check the countries, the more I get the feeling that it was done by an american or a south african who doesn't understand the difference between head of state and head of government, because for them it's the same *person* even though they are different *functions* ...

I think the ancestry map only showed Germany as the dominant group because they bunched Central and Eastern Europe together. Poland and Russia also make up a big chunk of the ancestry groups
Well, for ancestry, "Germany" itself is only a sliver of the true consideration aka Germanic Tribes from which many nations derive their ancestry, and who were also revered for taking down the Roman Empire for example. Scandanavian, Spanish, French, and many others are of said Germanic Tribes. Germany itself is just a way for the superficially minded to have a sort of "placeholder" as some minor frame of reference.

As someone with Dutch ancestry on my father's side and recent ancestry on my mother's side (her grandmother emigrated to the US from Germany during or just after WW2), I was very surprised by the very little amount of people in the US with Dutch ancestry. I live in Michigan, in the center of the concentration of English and Dutch ancestry in the Lower Peninsula.
Also, a fun tidbit of information, more likely rumor, is that my great-grandmother on my mother's side was a Nazi sympathizer.
The map does not depict "majorities" but local pluralities (largest common ancestry group, they could report several ancestries anyhow). Dutch ancestry is surely not that rare but distributed in areas where English or German or other is just more common.
Well, there are quite a bit of folks and place names in the counties just north of Manhattan, NYC, NY that are carry overs from New York being New Amsterdam. And of course, don't forget that the Roosevelts (FDR and Teddy) were Dutch descendants.
A majority of white people in the USA are of German descent ,and it shows in their DNA .Had Congress voted to have German ,rather than English as the main language of the USA, German and not English would be the chief international language. American English has German Grammar as the basis of its syntax, particularly in the Tense system used for verbs, and in the use or lack of use of Prepositions. I speak English English as my first language and German as my second language. It would be better to call the English spoken in the USA as "American" . "American" and "English" are related languages ,with important differences ,rather like Norwegian, Swedish and Danish. As we come from Cumbria (Cumberland) we can understand Danish an Norwegian ,as Cumbrian dialect is closely related to these languages
@@sheilanixon4479 - The USA has no official language, or at least it was that way not long ago. English is the de facto national language for historical reasons, just as Spanish is in Argentina in spite of massive Italian immigration in the 19th century. German migration to the USA is relatively late in the history of the country, by then English was well established as dominant language (except maybe in Pennsylvania, German, and Louisiana, French).
My take away from this video is that I need to start releasing flamingos around the world to get that coverage up.

"also this division right here of serbia albania and montenegro would not cause any trouble at all"🤔😰
here we go boys.....
It's an endless discussion.
I'm not sure. Those divisions seem to be based on the idea that state borders should run along the lines dividing ethnic groups. Which could be more stable than arbitrarily splitting ethnic groups by state borders and having those fragmented groups share their state with fragments of other ethnicities. The Yugoslav wars were such a mess because the borders of the constituent states did not align with where Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs actually lived.
However, I think in practice most large communities are not 100% Serbs or 100% Croats and people are a lot more mixed. Going purely by ethnic majorities when defining state lines would likely cause minorities to feel even more like minorities, which could make things worse.
Golf courts…kind of like those tennis fields and race roads.
Going to recommend this to Sheldon who loves to have fun with maps :)

Unlike you, English is obviously his second language. His usage of English is a tad better than your appreciation of English punctuation - so, there's that... NEXT!

Amazing ! I always loved maps and when I was young was always looking in our atlas

So sad how these people have been fed this crap of an ideology. They tell them how they are more than mortals and drill it into them. All the while they starve, get sick, suffer horribly...only to be told they are great.

video about maps.
6:52 There's nothing to that map that states that those groups are majorities; the groups are likely just pluralities in a great many of the counties.
That's not convenient to keeping non-whites victim status as 'minorities'
4:53 - "I was surprised... I know historically a lot of leaders have been military."
I'm surprised you didn't realize that military dictatorships still exist (even though the U.S. has taken out quite a few of them over the past several decades).
Or created them (Chile)
@@hanspeter4836 and many more, including what my country's (empire) so called leaders have been trying to do to overthrow the will of the Venezuelan people so oil companies can extract wealth from Venezuela. It's a damn shame. Death to America, and Liberty to the American People.

Actually very few countries, if any at all, spouse a junta or formal military regime anymore. The last one to fall was the one in Burma/Myanmar. There are autocratic regimes and military-background "elected" presidents but fully fledged military dictatorships as in the 20th century, not many if any at all.
A thematic map is a type of map that portrays the geographic pattern of a particular subject matter (theme) in a geographic area. This usually involves the use of map symbols to visualize selected properties of geographic features that are not naturally visible, such as temperature, language, or population.[1] In this, they contrast with general reference maps, which focus on the location (more than the properties) of a diverse set of physical features, such as rivers, roads, and buildings.[2][3] Alternative names have been suggested for this class, such as special-subject or special-purpose maps, statistical maps, or distribution maps, but these have generally fallen out of common usage.[4][5]

About flamingos: they are more than one species, indeed only South America has three! I don't know exactly why they are distributed in that way, but i think that is because of their preference for the lagoons, that are not common in south-est asia
Actually, South America has four species: American, Chilean, Andean and James' Flamingos.
Wonder if their are no flamingos in S.E. Asia because they were hunted to extinction? Or is there another species occupying the niche they would use?
2:30 imagine being a flamingo like jeez got enough space.
Excellent research that you are doing and sharing with young people. Thank you for posting , the kids will really appreciate this.
CORRECTION: In northern coast of Colombia THERE ARE thousands of Flamingoes. there is even a Natural Park of Flamingoes in La Guajira.
re; Flamingo Map: Why no flamingos in the Far East? They ate 'em.
My thoughts exactly no offence to flamingo eaters.
Just like the bats
Lmao

OMG, this is so interesting I had to subscribe right away. Never knew that Maps had so much info in demographics where people reside at.
This keeps coming up as a "surprising" fact- the amount of land used for cow production/pasture. This land is typically not viable for anything else. Good example- most of Australia.
Is most of Australia even viable as pasture? As I understand it from reading Jared Diamond, most of the grazing in Australia is done by sheep and it's incredibly damaging to the environment, notably desertifying a lot of land because, as the grass gets eaten, the thin top soil disperses.
@@JohnMoseley Not with the standard definition of pasture. Central Australia is mostly desert scrub that is viable to cattle, camels. There are cattle stations in the center that can be close to 1 million Hectares and run thousands of head of cattle, but have to a rate of only a few cows per hectare. They need helicopters to perform any sort of rounding up etc. That section of the map that shows the few % of human population, are close to the ares that grow "pasture" and would run crops and sheep. In australia a common farm grows wheat and sheep, feeding the sheep off the wheat stubble, and off the fallow feilds as the wheat grows. Its quite a bit different from the US/Europe system of livestock raising.
Most of the US west of the rockies and away from the coastlines is arid land not adequate for farming but can sustain cattle... The idea that this is a terribly large land mass dedicated to beef..... not representing the power of the beef industry, but as mentioned, the land has little other use
these maps help make sense both USA and especially Australia.... looks nice, sounds nice (a *whole* continent as country), yet very little land as we usually think of it, as not rocky mountain or deadly desert. to be fair, USA has plenty of land, but Australia not so with these limitations.

Regarding the south western coast of Africa: the desert goes from very far inland all the way to the beaches in what is mostly Namibia. I’ve travelled that area a little and witnessed the arid climate, the Skeleton Coast and seen other wildlife such as the hyena and oryx living there. Flamingos need water, wetlands in large expanses. Angola is also there, a country which is growing quite fast and has built dams that has restricted the water flowing south, endangering the beautiful wildlife habitats greatly.
6:30 You are saying "majority" when the correct word is "plurality."
USA & Germany: a shared love of the mullet hairdos and moustaches😂
8:58 I had that map on the wall of my classroom. NZ is the top of the world lol
I’ve seen the cow pasture thing and it’s almost always misrepresented. There are large parts of the United States that are extremely useless. If anyone has driven through parts of Texas New Mexico and Arizona they know that you drive for hours upon hours and see nothing of value. That land will be considered cow pasture on the first map. They do graze cows on most of it but it will be one cow per 2-5 acres. So a very small amount of cows per amount of land. If it were productive land that could be used for anything else it would be but it’s very dry and remote. Also I’m curious how the huge parts of the western half of the United States that the federal government owns is displayed on this map. A large piece of Southern California is federal land also Utah Nevada and many other states are owned by the federal government and a lot of it for the same reason as the cow pasture, it’s useless land. Appears to me the map was put together by someone to show how “wasteful and ignorant” the greatest country in the world is. Disinformation on display. Gets clicks right?
A whole lot of land could fall into multiple categories. A lot of grazing land is federally owned. And a lot of it could also be considered a desert or idle/fallow because it’s just a barely useable part of a ranch. Also, the land owned by the 100 biggest landowners is going to be used for something. And there’s no way this map can be accurate without including Alaska and Hawai’i. “Food we eat” would include maple syrup, barley, corn syrup, and alol the ranching land. And there’s no section for land that’s used for energy production like coal mines and oil fields. The map is an absolute disaster.
Andy O. The map didn’t represent where each one was, just how big they are, so that land in Minnesota was really all of it from the US condensed.
@@AndyOamo I think you read the map wrong friend.
It's not even a real map. It's a graph comparing the amount of land used for certain things / owned by certain groups. The graph is just shaped like the USA.
It's not at all showing were those types of land lie within the US.
How the video gets invalid because of that first "map" is also unclear to me. He just says he finds those things interesting, not even claiming they are all accurate.
Now if you wanna say that map pissed you off so much that you were not in the emotional state to appreciate the rest of the video, that's something else.
Useless for solar panels?
The amount of land littered with hilary’s incriminating evidence should be visible on that map...😂
Doesn’t surprise me at all that Weyerhaeuser has its own block on that first map.
I enjoy maps, thanks for sharing. Particularly the thumbnail first, very much appreciated.
The US map of counties by ancestry is off. According to the map Wisconsin is all German yet Manitowoc County the vast majority is Polish (I was born and grew up there should know. Just look in the phone book and see all the names ending in "ski". Also, there are counties in Wisconsin that are primarily Dutch.
@John Barber Hey! A fellow Wisconsinite! Here's a name that should bring back memories - "Steiners Corner" LOL
I'm from WV, and the Appalachians do have a lot of English ancestry, but more Germanic, Scotch-Irish, and Native (with a pocket on Scandinavian in WV)
I used to pick up in Manitowac, I loved it there!
@conker bad day it's almost as if I was specifically talking about Appalachia guy
@conker bad day you know what might help your credibility a bit? First, if you spelled "ethnic" correctly. Second, have some data to back up your claims. Third, not repeating yourself: how exactly is "uk" different from "British"? Fourth: punctuation. :-B
8:24 There is simply no way for this, or the Balkans in general, to be divided in a way that wouldn't cause problems in the future.

The distribution of flamingos likely stems from when the continents were joined. If you join them as they were, the areas outlined would connect.
That works for creatures that can't fly but in 60000000 years winged creatures do a huge amount of redistributing themselves.
There’s a map of Africa with other continents placed over it to show its real size, I find that pretty amazing.
I actually just figured this outdifferent than what I learnedwe live on you know what, no let me rephrase that we do not live on a spinning ball. Our Earth is more of a flat plane with vastly different topography. one of the things I have found interesting about the continent size disparity topic, and whatever they actually stretch them.I'm not sure if it's the upper continents or the bottom continents on the globe but think that United States and Africa are relatively the same sizewhen in fact our entire country could sit inside of the Sahara.one of the interesting I think things that I have found about this is that as you take b flat Earth map and put it on a ball ,perspective of this supposed shape of the earth 🌎, you actually can one a good match up to what we are taught the globe isball because once again it's a different map and vastly different navigating techniques would be needed...further into the southern hemisphere they were. well if you understand that we live on the flatterer then you can begin to decimate and understand why that is. Acme North Pole the top of the ball would be the center of our circular map...not spherical. And the quote-unquote South Pole is literally all around Antarctica is not a continent it is a ice wall impenetrable barrier. It is the highest elevated walkable service on Earth they say. However those giant chunks of the map that I mentionedmight have other land Admiral Byrd in his interview in like 1933 or 5 or whatever it was imagining 233 being there he claimed there was an entire continent that had not yet been explored by humans.also 50 million dollars a day stolen from us by NASA (Hebrew for: to mislead and deceive) center in the North and then everythingidea what is beyond about 72 miles above us.and that information is obtained from a document that is no longer secret or confidential it was released to the public called operation fishbowl.Truth is I could go on about many documents like every agency for aviation in any countryan airplane by the way not an are planet
I hit the wrong button and posted and cannot edit so continuing where I left off... All flight instructions for flying devicesthousand miles an hour at center of the equator,
Continuing again... We spend a thousand miles an hour on our axisthe same time all of us including the sun 🌞are universally somehow still staying together traveling around our galaxy and insane speed I can't even remember.otherwise you would just stay rotating with it of course Philly Nye the Science guy in Neil Shelly Tysonwill tell you that well be atmosphere moves along with the Earth so you're technically already going this speed. talking about the Trans American flight I'm talking about the government Air forces of the world they all say these are based on a flat non-rotating Earthairplane on math of the flat Earth and worksand they specifically mention you couldn't do Globe math and get it correct you would die go back to the map I'm sorry I starting at the North Pole you have a center draw. On a piece of paper a dot and draw circles around that.out how do you stop them from doing that... Obviously in indoctrination you need to create a beLIEf system so the cattle always know that the fence is the limit... Even after there is no fenceyou only have to convince them first and then they will defend that lie because it's now a part of the ego. this empty space if it were to come outso they then stretched the size of continents almost unanimously in the southern hemisphere...
down cuz I keep hitting the damn buttonI just want to throw this in and it's related to my comments but not the video cuz I tangent lol. The next time you're outside in the day look up at the sun check it out and the next time that you're outside at night and the Moon is bright check it out.... They say the sun is 93 million miles away ... Moon is a quarter of 1 million miles away. Here is a few suggestions.open your Google Earth and go to wear Alaska and Russia have a nice bit of water weigh in between which is around 50 miles from Shore to Shore with an island in the middle therenow focus on that point and zoom out slowly until you can no longer zoom out in your Google Earth anymore they say that the farthest satellite we have in orbit is 400 miles from the Earth in spacecan you honestly say you can still see the waterway in between Russia and Alaska clearly can you clearly see itfrom 400 miles out because they claim that the farthest satellite from Earth is 400 miles so we're assuming that for the sake of the argument.
it is ridiculous to believe you can see a 50-mile object from 250,000 miles away to the naked eye when you can't even make out a 50-mile object from a program that's only around four hundred miles out about actual physics that we know to be set laws. I must pre-course this by saying not all science is real science because you have in our world scientism which is a beliefthe result wherever they go if every timeit is telling you that there's no possible way it's that far away well then you can just believe it or not 😜
I did it again LOL... Onto the Sun tho.. we will start with getting to space. The second law of thermodynamics States pressure must have a container. A vacuum is pure pressure what is the containing mechanism for all of that vacuum in space. . How do you go from atmosphere to thinner atmosphere to magically just in a vacuum where's the barrier according to the heliocentric model now geocentric model hasn't answer it is that there is a dome over top of everything we know to be our world...remember not Globe flat you got to get the glove thought out of your head yes you cannot put a dome over a ball it would simply become a ball inside of another.so you violated the second law of thermodynamics by this magical entity of a vacuum with nothing to actually contain the pressure and make it a vaccume. So you have violated a known physical law and you have no way to explain it great. Let's talk about the third law of thermodynamics it is the inverse Square law.it basically tells you that has anything gets further away from you it loses its energy in intensity . Referring to the Sun that would be light and heat.cannot give you the answer to what it really is.I simply don't know what it is I can tell you a hundred percent what it is not. It is not 90 anyting million miles away and it is also not eight ball of fire inside of a vacuum of space I hope anyone reading this that chooses to respond cuz I know I'm going to get some responses..not be able to burn if there's no oxygen. Prove me wrong create a 🔥 without o2 .inversely squared to that particular distance...you might very well not be for a good day..able to look at it it's still super brightit has lost enough of its intensity in just 35 feet to make it able to tolerate looking at...because you don't even have the thinking ability...evidence anyway because it doesn't exist but how would heat and lightdoes not travel forever that is ridiculous....fires in a vacuum of this place called spaceand therefore the light can travel forever they say in all directions from each 🌟 then how is there ever anything but a lit up backdrop because they say there is an infinite amount of Stars shining an infinite amount of light in all directions infinitely I have 5th grade kids they can figure it out.. I think I'll add just this Einstein was a shill...all fiery and I and many others can easilytaught your whole life to love this thing and you don't want to have been wrong your entire life I did not either yet I was not going to continue the rest of my life
6:20 I might be wrong but I think the Germans are the US largest ancestry group at 43 million people or 13.26% of the population
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans
After he made the point of saying these were "by County" figures & don't reflect the total population distribution of ancestral nationalities... Your point being?
pauliec17 He said that even though it covers the most counties, it is not the biggest group in terms of real numbers, when Germans are the largest ancestry group in the US by real numbers.
@@lunare_ He was probably using the figures from 1980. English 49,500,000 German-49,224,000
The Mercator Projection is flawed because it is basically impossible to project a spherical figure onto a 2D plane. For example, Greenland is farther North, West, East, and South than Iceland. Look it up if you don't believe me.
