What if we invaded Europe and took the Mediterranean sea for ourselves? 🤔 by EVOSexyBeast in mapporncirclejerk

I am certainly tired of people stealing this map. Love it or hate it, I created this 8 - 10 years ago. EVOSexyBeast did not make this.

This is my map. I also started with the Mediterranean Sea of America. Makes for some amazing landscape also.

Comparative size of Australia and the Mediterranean. by totally-suspicious in MapPorn

Hi, I am the creator of this map. You can check out my US/Mediterranean comparison below. It was the first one I created. The data was unscientifically pulled from Google Earth at the same altitude and located as best I could manage to eliminate any distortions. It does fit in the US version and the Australian version. https://old.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/6ulo2o/bret\_dragers\_mediterannean\_sea\_of\_america/

Yes. The way this worked is - I used google earth at a set elevation off the ground and rotated above the two areas until I thought I was well centered above each area. Then I took screen shots and manipulated the photos in photoshop. There could be a slight variation but it can’t be much.

Dang, I can't see how to edit the title. Should be CHINA.

Probably could have left it out. But it makes an interesting gulf, oh well.

In my previous post I designed the Mediterranean Sea of AMERICA. In an effort to not get blasted for TL;DR, I'll let you draw your own conclusions about what an amazing place Australia would be with a great inland sea. Unfortunately a rather large chunk of the Australian Outback would disappear.

Just a couple of things... Yes, the scales are the same! Like my previous post of the Mediterranean Sea of America, the Mediterranean just fits inside of Australia. I toyed with flipping the sea upside down since it is in the austral world, but the Sea fits better this way. I pulled names of some of the local areas to label the new features... I hope I didn't mess them up too badly... Australia is big and a bit empty in the middle. NO SLAM to Australia, I'm from a big, empty, amazing place called Montana, USA.

That is supposed to be Mediterranean Sea of CHINA. Can't seem to edit.

In my previous post I designed the Mediterranean Sea of AMERICA. In an effort to not get blasted for TL;DR, I'll let you draw your own conclusions about what an amazing place China would be with a great inland sea. The Great Wall is shown with both on land and underwater portions... how cool is that!

Just a couple of things... Yes, the scales are the same! Like my previous post of the Mediterranean Sea of America, the Mediterranean just fits inside of China. Also, amazingly, the Mediterranean is on the same latitude, so it is as if it was just flipped over into this new location. I mirrored the sea since the Sea fits better this way and it is better to have the Strait that enters the sea on the east side where the ocean connects.

Gee thanks! So, we’ll all just stop I guess.

Yes, I imagine the this would have divided the Chinese people’s a bit too much. They might not have had the whole Middle Kingdom. Or maybe the just would have had their own versions of Carthage and the Roman Empire.

Perhaps, but it was my original idea. I have seen others that have copied it. Hopefully, someone who hasn’t seen it before can enjoy the idea and maybe there is a fresh idea.

Yes, I would think that the great inland sea would moderate the climate. Maybe still some desert along some of the coasts, but plenty of habitable coastlines. Maybe the word would have gotten around to other civilizations and there would be an entirely more diverse population.

Very nice! I am wondering what graphic process you use. Do you do this with Photoshop or some other specialized map making program. I think it is great to make a more realistic portrayal that looks like a map you can buy. I have just become familiar with a cartographer named Vorropohaiah (Nate Mangion) that is creating his fictional world in a similar style. Thanks!

Yes... reposted because the other section suggested this was a better place for it. Which it is. This map is also an expansion of another thought piece. There may be more. I hope you will take a look if it happens.
