Well, there is America buying more states and getting rid of Native American territory, there is Israel replacing Palestine, The Soviet Union got smaller, I think, and Sudan's going to split soon. Ice caps are melting causing higher water levels, plus pollution is threatening to put much of the East Coast underwater from a huge tidal wave in Africa, a megavolcano in Yellowstone is going to erupt in a few thousand years...but I don't have any pictures.

∙ 14y agoThe first map record was modeled in clay and then backed more than 4000 years ago, inEgypt. In ancient times, landowners marked the outlines of their land; the kings marked the boundaries of their kingdom on maps.
Eratosthenes, a Greek who was born in 276 B.C. figured the distance around the earth and came very close to truth. His methods made it possible for the first time to calculate north-south distances correctly.
At the same time, Hipparchus suggested that a map of the world be divided evenly by imaginary lines of latitude, parallels and of longitudes.
In the second century, Ptolemy used this same idea and made an improved map with evenly spaced lines of latitudes and longitudes. His book on geography was the only standard text until after the discovery of America.
The first large collection of maps was published by Abraham Ortelius of Antwerp in 1750. Geradus Mercator became the father of modern map-making. On the title page of his book there was a drawing of the giant Atlas, and in this way a collection of maps has come to be known as an "atlas".
