      @@HEZEKYHWH no, it cannot. You realize map is a tool used to accurately navigate a place while a portrait is just art for entertainment, right? Saying a 2d map can be used to make portraits with contrast and shadings is the stupidest thing I've heard. A 2d surface can be used to make 3d portraits from ONE angle, yes. But to make a map, you need to depict ALL the surfaces of the spherical Earth with accurate positioning, accurate measurements, and accurate distancing. If you look at maps of the Earth, you'll notice that the grid is not just squares but oblate to signify that the Earth itself has an oblate shape, hence, making an accurate depiction of it on paper or other 2d surfaces is next to impossible, since converting a 3d surface to a 2d one takes out details, not to mention the ever changing form of the lands due to tectonic plate movements, movement of the Earth's pole, and other geological events that affect it. Saying a portrait is a mal is just stupid. Portraits don't even depict the WHOLE object it represents, then you claim it's a "2d map". Lol

    When I lived in the dorms we had a pair of guys who were nerds and everytime there was a really bad storm and a traffic light(s) got torn off because of the wind they would collect them and put them in their room as displays. It was astonishing to see how big and heavy they really were. One night they were drinking and invited me into their room to play "volley ball" with strobe lights. It was hilarious~because the room was pitch black and everytime we'd "see" the ball, it was already too late to hit it back. They were nice boys who did these kind of things because they were just too shy to talk to girls or create relationships with people on the same floor.

      Yeah I thought that was weird. I’m guessing they estimated in kilometers but this channel converted to exact miles. This is an incredible range, by the way. Almost half way around earth. Unsure how any scientists could know this.

    The first time I saw anything up close to the pyramids that helped put it more into perspective for me was in the Transformers movie when it showed the actors actually on the structure and one could then see how huge each stone is. I can picture and put into perspective the height and width by comparing to buildings, but it really brings it in when you realize the stones are so huge!!!

    Speaking of a countries size, here is a cool trivia fact: If you were to double the land size area of all 28 countries that make up the EU combined, (Counting the UK in this figure.) The United States would still actually be bigger. In fact the US is 2.2x larger than all 28 nations that make up the EU.
    And the tallest tree in the world is 379 ft. Tall. It's located in California just like the General Sherman which is the biggest tree.
    Also a very short distance from my house actually here in Wisconsin, we have the world's highest flying American flag on a flagpole. It's the largest flying American flag as well located in Sheboygan Wi off of I-43.
    The US flag covers about 10,000 square feet, features stripes that are more than 5 feet high and stars that are nearly 3 feet across. Weighing 340 pounds dry, the nylon flag requires 72 cubic feet of storage space when not being flown.
    The flag is 140 feet wide by 70 feet high when it's flying on most days throughout the year. The flagpole it's attached to is 400 ft. tall.
