edit: Now am doubting the word anywhere ... Would it be better if everywhere ?

Two theoretical maps of Pangaea (with some lakes added to make countries distinct)

Clearly should be civ maps.

Actually a very un-altered map, so kinda off-topic:

The Most Accurate Flat Map of Earth Yet

We then had to find the best formula for plotting the features on each side, one that would minimize the Goldberg-Gott error score. The answer is one in which the North Pole appears at the center of the north side of the phonograph record, with longitude lines spreading out equally from it where the scale on each longitude line is uniform, and similarly for the south side. Distances between cities are measured by simply stretching a string between them; if they are in opposite hemispheres, the string simply stretches across the equator at the edge of the map.

A disadvantage of the new map is that you can’t see all of the Earth’s surface at once, but remember this is true for the globe as well.

Cool, now is there a version where you can turn the disks depending on which area you want to look at?

Still seems to present Asia as not that much larger than Africa (while in reality it is roughly 3/2 of Africa)

That'd indeed be handy.

mmhh... that might be an issue related to how it's cut, I guess .

More of a map of the soul - and most likely made by an albanian.

It's not Mercator, so by definition it's altered.

^That lacks Assyria. Also, I like how ‘Britain’ has taken on Scottish colours.

The uncolored area in north of Spain and southwest of France is the basque speaking area, not indoeuropean, so it is ok not to be in the map, however I feel in the must to explain that the term is Jainkoa or Jaungoikoa, this last one literally means Lord Above, referencing the heaven in the skyes.
