Geography of Colombia: Beyond the Stereotypes
Go to ground.news/geographygeek for local perspectives on global
issues. My link gets you 40% off the Ground News unlimited access Vantage plan.
Colombia has long been plagued by negative stereotypes and a troubled past, but the reality is changing dramatically. The country's murder rate is now about a third of what it was in the early '90s, and kidnappings have dropped by over 92 percent since the year 2000. Beyond safety improvements, Colombia is preserving its rich biodiversity, has become a global leader in innovation, excelling in its coffee industry, and may be on the verge of spreading its vibrant culture and influence across the globe.

Geography of Papua New Guinea: The Most Interesting Country in the World?
Просмотров 431 тыс.3 месяца назад
In my opinion, Papua New Guinea is one of the most interesting countries in the world. The country makes up less than 1% of the world's land mass yet is home to nearly 12% of the world’s languages and contains over 5% of the world's plant and animal species. To outsiders, the people have some of the world’s wildest cultural traditions, and no one knows exactly how many people even live in the c...

The Map that made the US-Mexico Border
Просмотров 17 тыс.4 месяца назад
This…is one of the most important maps in US and Mexican history. It’s the map used to negotiate the border between the two countries to end the Mexican-American war in 1848, including Texas it transferred over half of Mexico’s land to the US. But it wasn’t a clean-cut deal. The map had some serious errors and the US quickly wanted more land…nearly bringing to two countries to back to war. Rare...

Why California is an Island on Old Maps
Просмотров 111 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Maps from the 16th to the 18th century are riddled with errors, myths, bad theories, & lies but one really stands out amongst the others. For hundreds of years, California was depicted as an island. If we go to raremaps.com and type in the Island of California, we see one map after another. I’m not counting every single map but there could be hundreds listed here. This may very well be the most...

    what blows me away is that back in the day they knew that the earth was round but just because that would make some people feel bad they kept their mouth shut. now I wonder what else they kept their mouth shut about that they already knew it looks like our ancestors wasn't as clueless as we thought. just didn't have the tech to test there educated guesses.

So there was no continent of Lemuria, Madagascar was just once part of India.

    Thank you, thank you for having the respect to call it App-ah-latch-a. I get so annoyed with people who do documentaries of Appalachia and can’t even get the pronunciation correct! I quit listening the minute they do because their ignorance is so annoying and when you attempt to gently tell them the correct pronunciation they look down their noses and assure you BOTH pronunciations are correct. I mean, really?? I am 4th generation Appalachian and definitely know how we pronounce where we have lived for over 150 years. Talk about being disrespectful, that’s it! If you want to document about an area, at least have the integrity to try to get it right. On a better note, I really did enjoy this video. Thank you for posting it and for allowing me to vent just a little.
