[@RetiredSailor60]

I have visited 37 countries on 5 continents; Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America. And sailed most of the world's oceans and Seas during my 21 year Naval career.

Further on this subject (tectonic plates), how about a podcast about the Wallace line/Indonesia’s volcanic activity and (Karakatoa!) - pull the thread and the world unravels!

[@johnstevenson9956]

There is indeed, a "White Sea". I just happened to have been reading about the convoys during World War 2 when I came across it. It's considered the inlet to the Barents Sea.

[@debbybridge7064]

I thought the Seven Seas were the seas around China that the earliest European captains who were trying to circumnavigate the globe, traveled in. Like Magellan. I like how you tie it to various cultures and time periods!

[@evensgrey]

OK, I'll give a strong argument for separating MOST of the Great Lakes. It's very simply to argue that Superior, Erie, and Ontario are distinct lakes, because they all have different surface elevations. The only lakes that are not distinguished from each other that way are Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

The speaker discusses the concept of continents and how it influences cultural and historical perspectives. 31:37: 🗺 The speaker discusses the fuzzy boundaries between states and the difficulty in determining which state a particular line on a map belongs to. 36:25: ! The definition of continence is clear and important, but historically it doesn't make any sense and is just a way for us to understand the world. 41:37: 🌊 The term 'seven seas' has different definitions and can refer to any large body of saltwater or even freshwater lakes. 47:31: 🌊 The definition of the Seven Seas has evolved throughout history and can refer to various seas depending on the context. 53:20: 🌍 The concept of the Seven Seas is metaphorical and varies across cultures, reflecting different geographical and historical perspectives. 58:18: 🌊 The speaker discusses the size and significance of the Sea of Galilee, comparing it to other bodies of water like the Great Lakes. 1:03:37: 🔢 The number seven has a significant cultural and maritime association. Recap by Tammy AI

🤔 I agree that the number 7 has historical significance. In the Holy Bible's New Testament, Jesus is asked if they should forgive 7 times. Jesus answered that they must forgive 7 X 7, indicating infinitely.

Darn. It's my bedtime. Good night to you

[@theemmjay5130]

I'm sure you have no problem with defining geography based on whether the inhabitants wear hats. And I wonder if the alliteration is part of why the phrase "seven seas" and ,by extension, "sail the seven seas" has hung on, at least for English speakers.

[@flashgordon6670]

Have you seen the film the Flim Flam man with George C Scott? How about making a sequel to it? Or a video about the history of grifters and grifting?

[@DeconvertedMan]

In the Bible, seven is the number for completion.

Mahabarata War began October 5561 BCE, we had iron, we had telescopes, we had brass. History is nothing but victor's lies. Namaskar.
