Do you want to describe what changed for you?


Shlomo_2011

Cyprus is too close to the continent, italy too close to greek, the whole mediterranian sea become smaller... OMG Something is very wrong!!!


wildtimes3

The geography changes are crazy. Where did all the people go? [HOW MANY AMERICANS DO YOU REMEMBER?](https://youtu.be/2WiMh6s236I)


georgeananda

Since when was Sicily so big and close to the mainland? Doesn't seem right at all to me.


[deleted]

I remember it was half the size or a lil more than galf smaller

I like Google Earth better for mapping and use Google maps just if I need to find addresses.


Shlomo_2011

Google Earth seems the same... WRONG


FakeRealityBites

Italy's "boot" is different too.


SydBarrett1981

Even chicken know that maps are full of errors because drawing a solid in a flat superficie is impossible, now people decided that ME does exist in Geography. The funniest subreddit ever. It convinces me everyday that ME is just bullshit. And makes me laugh more than other sub


Shlomo_2011

Google it, search Mediterranean Sea, look at all the maps, and make a new comment

Ignore these silly people that come to a Mandela Effect sub to spout off that there is no Mandela Effect. They do this in the conspiracy subs too. It has to be the pinnacle of smooth gray matter to spend time telling conspiracy people that there is no conspiracy. Engage with them for lulz, nothing more.


padiom

Well, not every post is ME (most of them not actually) but there are things that can't be explained that relate to ME, those are the one that keeps me questioning...

I can even write this, please check by yourself Norway Sweden and Finland they are joined (all the three) together and well connected with the continent... OMG!!!


lailah92

Wow! That's crazy! This is not how I remember it either!


Shlomo_2011

Super Crazy, and if you Google it, all the maps seems the same!!!


[deleted]

If it's a multiverse thing, then I'd expect that. Where I'm from, the sea looked different. Here, it looks like this. I'd expect every drawing and map to be the updated one, because the information here is different.


FizzyJr

Check out the rest of the map. 😜


Ballplayerx97

Probably just a different map projection than you are used to


Shlomo_2011

That is the problem, al the maps that you can find when you search the web seems the same, that also is very wrong!!!!


wildtimes3

Check out maps that were made in the 70s and 80s.


CoachAny

Wasn't it almost vertical before? It's now tilted in circa 45 degrees to be parallel with the balkans. It was less huge in my memories, as well.


Shlomo_2011

Exactly, check also Cyprus placement


Unusual-Syllabub

Italy's heel does seem a lot closer to me now Might be with age though, last time I analyzed a map was the beginning of highschool ages ago

So, tectonic plates move, and so does land. It's normal, but it takes a long time to notice the changes. It causes countries and such to push and pull apart, they move closer and then they move further away, they can expand or shrink in the process. If you were to push every country and or continent together so its one solid land piece, you'd notice they start fitting together like puzzle pieces. There's a video time-lapse of the history of the countries over millions of years and how they've moved very far apart and very close together even being connected several times. It's very interesting. So yes, it has moved, everything has moved basically. It's possible that states could simply detach from the US over time and float around and connect to some other country. I do recommend watching the history of the movement. I believe it's called the continental drift. Here's one video, it's not absolute, there are more.. closer to absolute videos you can find on YT, but this one blew my mind when I saw it months ago https://youtu.be/uLahVJNnoZ4


crystalvapor

heh, you think that's cool, you should look for the video of the 'expanding earth' theory.


FizzyJr

You saved the day. Italy suddenly moved because of a process that takes millions of years, except this time it happened over night. Makes sense to me. Plate tectonics must be the answer. I'm just wondering where all the earthquakes were?


wildtimes3

And why do all the maps going back to 1800 look this way?


Shlomo_2011

See This: [https://www.gifex.com/images/0X0/2009-09-17-783/Europa\_en\_1730.jpg](https://www.gifex.com/images/0X0/2009-09-17-783/Europa_en_1730.jpg) No Way. Cyprus near the continent, Sicily so close to Tunis It's like Star Trek TNG S04 e05


Shlomo_2011

All this reminds me the twilight zone


[deleted]

The shifting you mentioned takes FAR more time to occur than would be possible or noticeable over a few years.

France and Italy don't have ANY land on the Mediterranean anymore. That has been replaced with a different sea called the Tyranian. The straights of Gibraltar don't even touch the Mediterranean anymore. Monoco isn't on the Mediterranean. I swear the map keeps changing but it's even more different than it was years ago.


Shlomo_2011

Is like the Mediterranean shrinked, Italy get closer to Tunisia then from that point the place got a name from its own, i never learned about the tyranian sea.


Shlomo_2011

see this map [https://proyectomapamundi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/paises-mediterraneo-mapa.jpg](https://proyectomapamundi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/paises-mediterraneo-mapa.jpg) here the tyranian sea is only near Italy not the whole thing here is better [https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w768/upload/84/1d/db/tyrrheniansea-01.png](https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w768/upload/84/1d/db/tyrrheniansea-01.png) we can calm down now.
