5,000 kids of all ages participated in the project called Build Up Japan recreating a futuristic map of the country using ivory LEGO bricks. The map is not the exact replica of the country because kids were asked to design a future topography for Japan regarding the last year’s events like the earthquake and tsunami. The map looks stunning.
If you drilled a hole in New Zealand so that a straight line could run through the centre of the Earth, you would eventually make a hole in North-West of Spain. It’s the principle of antipodes. More inside the post.
This is what the map looks like on human space programs and our reach into outer space.
This map looks as if it had been drawn by a child. Still it illustrates European wars from the BC era to the 20th century in a funny way.
