Unit 2 Day 2

In Todays class we talked about more of some of the first maps ever created. We also compared the Mercator map with the more accurate map. This really surprised me since I have been looking at the Mercator map ever since kindergarten. I think the U.S should incorporate the newer map into our schools more since its more up to date and more accurate. It would take a lot of adjusting but it would be worth it. What also shocked me was when the cartographers on the show flipped the northern and southern hemisphere. I can say that I have never seen the map look like that before in my life. It looked like a completely different planet. After seeing all of these different options of how the map could potentially look, it's definitely opened my eyes and made me more interested in geography.
