#MOTW: アフリカの本当の大きさ 一般的に使用されているメルカトル図法は、赤道付近の地域を縮小し、極地付近の地域を拡大することで、私たちの世界観を歪めている。現実はどうだろう？実際、グリーンランドはほぼ同じ大きさに見えるが、実際には14倍も小さいのだ！ カイ・クラウスによる「アフリカの本当の大きさ」と題されたこの地図は、アフリカ大陸の本当の大きさを明らかにし、従来の地理学に挑戦する強力な視点の転換を提供している。アフリカは驚くほど広大で、アメリカ、中国、インド、日本、そしてヨーロッパの大部分を合わせたよりも大きい。 アフリカの大きさを誤って伝えることは、その世界的重要性、経済的潜在力、文化的豊かさに対する認識を歪めることになりかねない。アフリカの真の規模を理解することは、地理的な問題だけでなく、物語を再構築し、世界の舞台におけるアフリカ大陸の正当な意義を認めることなのだ。 続きを読む: ubiqueags.org/map-of-the-wee… #MapOfTheWeek #GeographyFacts #AfricaTrueSize #Cartography #Africa #Mercator rael.org　＃RAEL
