I just visit this place a couple weeks ago. It s awesome! I wished we could have stayed inside it for longer. This place fascinated me especially because I like to play a little game where I look at globes that I come across in classrooms, libraries and people's homes and try to guess the year they were made based on the countries depicted. I have to say, there aren't too many from 1935 still in circulation.

[@atlasobscura]

I play that game too! I love it!

[@NinLou888]

Why not tell that is the world we live in? Yeah, we live inside this ball! Don't hide this anymore, and put the Celestial Sphere in the center, please show to people the world they live in, please! I waked up since a long time ,what are you waiting?😎

[@MrFin487]

Dymaxion map? A serious Bucky deep cut. Well done.

[@xxneverxcomingxhomex]

I get so excited every time I see a new Atlas Obscura upload! Keep up the great work, love the channel.

[@atlasobscura]

Thank you so much for saying so! I love getting comments like this and thank you for watching!

[@MeAuntieNora]

Aww, 2009 Dylan! Great video as always.

[@atlasobscura]

+Me Auntie Nora Ha, thanks Auntie! Man, my hair was out of control. Thanks for being such an awesome presence on this channel! Look forward to meeting up sometime soon!

[@MarkAStephan]

+Atlas Obscura hahaha I was thinking "HAIR!" beat me to it :) Great job as always Dylan

[@sindymeneus8060]

I want there on a field trip on November 18 and then we got to go on there and if we talked it would get loud so we had to be quiet right now I have a sticker of it on my folder and it was really really fun and we got to make our own map I’m in a map of Haiti and my mom my friend made a map of Haiti

[@spanksthx]

why isn't this channel bigger? love it!

[@rachicolate]

this would such a cool place to have a concert. the library at my school is a dodecahedron with a two-story ceiling, so the accustics are amazing (a bit ironic if you ask me) so they hold the spring choral concert there. this place would be insane(-ly awesome) by comparison

[@atlasobscura]

+noitsactuallybecky Making a library into a crazy echo chamber seems...curious, ha! But yeah music would sound wild in there.

[@joysomepossum]

I know I've seen one of these somewhere else. I've never been to Boston, but I've been in a giant glass globe! Maybe in St. Louis? Anybody?

[@atlasobscura]

+Joy L I would love to know! Anybody?

[@brianlindstrom1044]

fantastic love to see your channel grow. i tell everyone about atlus obscura.. quality videos told with the most sincere enthusiasm

[@atlasobscura]

+Brian Lindstrom I think there was some kind of commenting error, but I am keeping all these comments because they are so super nice!

[@MeAuntieNora]

+Atlas Obscura Heh, I saw that happen all over KZbin last night. Some glitch or something seemed to make people leave many of the same comment, sometimes with text adjusted as if it posted before they fully edited or something. Weird for sure.

[@mikejuly24]

You added Rhode Island to your map!! Thank you.

[@atlasobscura]

We decided it had finally earned a spot. You may be small in size but you are big in heart. And scrap precious metal exports. Weird.

[@SirRabbitKinz]

Hay Dylan I just stumbled on to your channel. Great stuff man! These wonders blow my mind! subbed for amesomeness!

[@rafalwitkowski3925]

We live in side earth, Middlearth, in Poland this od Niebocentryzm

[@TheHaruyumi]

I found this channel through Ask a Mortician! I love these videos and the way you tell stories. Would you be able to find something cool and weid in Finland to talk about, that's where I'm from so it would be awesome

[@lauraschlueter287]

+TheHaruyumi That's funny. I found Ask a Mortician through this channel. They're both great.

[@atlasobscura]

That I can do! I love Finland was there a couple years ago, in Helsinki but also up north above the arctic circle staying with some reindeer herders. I envy your state schooling and general governance! Finland coming up...

[@angelikahaeggman4822]

Your enthusiasm is so so wonderful!!!

[@texaslonestarrider]

Never heard of this place! Very Cool! Go Nerds!

[@atlasobscura]

+lonestarrider Thanks! That can be our sports team rallying cry "Go Nerds!"

[@karatefylla]

Bucketlist item for sure.

[@caueabrao]

At the finish of the series I will calculate how much would cost to visit every single place covered. It would be a hell of a trip.

[@atlasobscura]

+Cauê Abrão Oh! I should put together a map!

[@caueabrao]

+Atlas Obscura Also relevant with the video theme :)

[@brianlindstrom1044]

fantastic love to see your channel grow. i tell everyone about atlus obscura.

School field trip destination in the mid-‘70s

[@azurhadzic2908]

your videos are great, did you study geography?

[@atlasobscura]

Thanks Azur! I did not, and truth be told I am kind of terrible at geography! I do love telling stories about places and traveling though!

[@brianlindstrom1044]

[@atlasobscura]

+Brian Lindstrom Thanks so much Brian, thanks for helping it grow!!!

[@cecysolis3040]

Buuucket List!!!

[@BrettHoustonTube]

This "map" is more accurate than most could fathom using their factory installed operating system...

[@dreeuws]

Do you know: Ons lieve heer op solder?

[@jeffbach7366]

love channel

[@centipede167]

It's like something out of Star Trek, if a little low tech.

[@atlasobscura]

+Centipede A 1930s star trek is a great setup. What if we had to get into space with only 1930s tech sort of thing!

[@centipede167]

Atlas Obscura Sounds Steampunk.

[@jeffbach7366]

love channel,

[@atlasobscura]

+Jeff Bach Thanks Jeff!

[@kustomweb]

I love my dymaxion map, go bucky

[@hileragiovanna]

Could you do North Sentinel Island?

[@atlasobscura]

+Giovanna Hilera That is a great one! I will totally get to this!

[@stangeric1]

No one likes a "Wonkie" map. I'll use that word. lol You get very excited with acoustics, sounds and echos I've noticed.

[@atlasobscura]

Yet wonky maps abound. I do... I do indeed. Wait until you hear me get going about sound mirrors! Sheesh!

[@toibi7123]

hello dylan!!

[@archiefu]

[@spol]

Nerds for life!
