    Antarctica just called India; "Have you seen our sub-continent? It's run away for 100 million years, and we want it back."
  • @enderethan144
    Imagine if all the continents didn’t form and we have to live on Pangea for all entirely and how long would it take you to get to the beach depending whereabouts you are on Pangea.

    It's fun to discover that Madagascar actually split from India instead of Africa.
  • @zxdfty77
    Beautifully illustrated and quite easy to follow. Thanks so much!
  • Love this. Madagascar is the bridge between Africa and the Indian subcontinent 🇲🇬🇮🇳💜 The Tamil people even say they come from a lost island in the Indian Ocean Kumari Kandam which was connected to Madagascar.

    This has the same energy as braces time lapses
  • @darth856
    Antarctica looks enormous using this model. I understand no flat map can ever depict a round Earth entirely accurately, but the size-distortions are quite big with this one.

    Could you please upload the reverse video as well. Present to Pangea. It makes it easy to track where the current countries were initially located.
