Today I Learned That The World Map We Know Is WRONG

<p><br></p>
<p>The traditional world map that we know and see everywhere is not as accurate as you might think.<br>
It shows many proportions like the size of certain countries or the difference between continents in a totally distorted context.</p>
<p>Now, japanese artist and architect <strong>Hajime Narukawa</strong> has created a new model that resembles the <em>real</em> proportions!&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<h1>This is it, the AuthaGraph World Map:</h1>
<p><img src="http://cdn.iflscience.com/images/e6b8c0b6-97d8-55ed-a309-8fd70a5f338f/content-1478107792-folded-map-2.jpg" width="880" height="629"/></p>
<p>It has even received a <strong>design award.</strong></p>
<p>No matter if you look at it flat, round, or even wrapped around a triangle - the proportion always stays realistic.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<h2>What surprises you most about this map?</h2>
<h2>For me, it's to see how close africa actually is to europe, and how incredibly far south america is from australia !!!</h2>
