I disagree I think Pakistan looks like a T-Rex.

you forgot another reason for phantom islands - copy protection. map makers create fake roads or even islands, so that they can track down people who copy their maps and distribute them as their own.

This is laugh out loud material - El Oel! En Españada e Espadrillo!

WWII

A great vid., despite the numerous little errors. The "east is up" thing is true for Welsh, too, wherein the similarity between south (de) and right (dde) is immediately apparent, and the word for north (gogledd) derives from "go-" + "cledd", meaning "nearest the left".

Those floating boats are NOT fata morganae. They are just the result of the sea reflecting the sky differently due to the water being stiller in the far distance. You can see the horizons in the images themselves. Common mistake kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqbRe4RopsZglcUsi=rQWWAJvBVYCMkd62

Richard ... You are rubbish.

Laputa?

Sailors often got pissed.

7:12 one of these two is definitely a dad, right?

Map homines, tabula hominum, tabula hominum, Tabula, tabula hominum

8:41 i didn't notice the extra fingers at first🤣😂

Just been watching Portillo's train programme .he was in Kent . The trains were modern , clean and timely , can't wait till he's up north trying out our cattle truck trains

I can't wait to undiscover Florida

THEY ARE BACK!

As a Brazil I attest that Brazil is not a phantom island.... Although the Portuguese that it was an island in the beginning.

Oh my, Amazonian women caught me off guard Oh my the dozen fingers were kind of expected, the hand was already held up suggestively enough But I was really sleight of handed by the black smudge on Jay's face, noticed only at the end... Thought there was again some gag with facial hair involved, but no :D What's the script on blackboard on the left at 0:30? Curious if there's any easter eggs in there as well :]

The Arno map is awful - none of the countries look like they do on a globe removing the whole point

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the introduction should only have had 1 man. Like "map man, map man, map, map, map, man" instead of "map man, map man, map, map, map, man, man"

2:25: lovely scurvy reference.

LET'S GOOOO JERSEY SLANDER

Ya got me with "elicit cartography "!!! Love it

I think you two are phantom humans as I couldn't find you on google maps.

The scripts on these videos are so goddamn tight

Jersey isn’t real? I tried to report you to Bergerac but it seems he moved to the equally fictional Midsomer.

Cook were a Yorkshireman, aye.

BINDER TWINE!!!!!

I’m sorry but the electro remix of ‘skin sofa’ is the greatest thing ever

Please mow the lawn

8:53 i dont get why Jersey appear here. Or i guess it's an England spécific joke

hmm....do you two often have trouble's with one of you spontaniously not existing? as far as I know, it hasn't happened on screen, but presumably thats a tiny fraction of your total life---unless you guys are usually in a state of not-quite-existing purgatory?

Sorry, everyone else. Map Men is the best channel on youtube 🥇

9:50 is where they address the island in the thumbnail.

You forgot London's seventh airport: London Oxford, whchi is apparently a thing

Wait, was that a fraction of the sound of Cassiopeia contacting earth in Contact when Jay disappeared 5 seconds in?

Jay at 0:05 : peace yall, I'ma head on out

Jersey…

I think you should wait until the ice caps melt

I literally have this app on my dead Fire tablet

At 07:35, that island off the west coast of Ireland was actually proven to exist in the hit TV show "Father Ted". Its just been renamed from Brasil to Craggy to avoid confusion.

Isn’t that some copyright crap like discussed in your video: Why do maps show places that don't exist?

Ireland had its own time zone until 1916 (known as Dunsink Time) The British and Irish isles didn’t share the same time zone until then.

My fav phantom island is new zealand

Jersey! LOL!!!

I can remember, whilst sailing from Australia to Japan with a cargo of iron ore, using Admiralty charts, obviously, seeing some small islands with curious annotations. For example, "Reported to lie 10 miles to the North East", and, my favourite, "The existence of this island is doubtful".

HOW DARE YOU SAY the island of Sodor is not real. Thomas will mash you up biggly...

I am an American And yet im fascinated Keep making these! They are very interesting

Imagine buying a bridge without amazon prime return policy.

THEY'RE HIDING THE TRUTH;

Moment of silence for Jersey
