This led to the idea of a double-sided circular map, he said. In a 2019 study posted to the arXiv database, which has yet to be peer reviewed, Gott considered 'envelope polyhedra,' which involved gluing together regular shapes, back-to-back. Note the flat map on the wall in the background. Richard Buckminster Fuller holds his assembled polyhedral globe. For instance, Australia and Antarctica were too far apart on his creation. But while Fuller did a good job detailing the continents, he wasn't as exact with the oceans, which introduced errors. In 1943, the American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller drew outlines of regular shapes that made up a world map, and he wrote instructions for how his map could be folded into a polyhedral globe. The end result, the pancake map, borrowed ideas from previous research on polyhedra, or many-sided 3D shapes. 'We're proposing a radically different kind of map, and we beat Winkel Tripel on each and every one of the six errors.' To get around this boundary-splitting problem, the researchers approached mapmaking from a new perspective, with the hopes of designing a 'flat map with the least error possible,' Gott said.

If anyone knows of any alternate methods through which I can sell prints or can offer some advice please let me know.The Winkel Tripel projection world map was first designed in 1921. Initially I had planned on setting up an etsy store where I could sell prints of this map, but for some reason etsy terminated my account.

Every cryptid, every secret society, every occult concept, all the schizo paranormal stuff your crazy uncle posts about on facebook, all tied together in a single grand narrative that unifies the lore of Ufology, Lost civilizations, modern myths, urban legends and esoteric writings across the past few centuries.īasically, if you’re familiar with the conspiracy iceberg, what we want to is take everything from that and put it all together in one cohesive setting.Īnd what better world to cram all of that into than one proposed by a number of flat-earthers, where the disc-shaped map doesn’t end at the frozen wastelands of Antarctica, but extends beyond, to larger disc containing many more unknown continents capable of supporting life, with yet another barrier at its end, concealing an even larger realm an order of magnitude more expansive, and rich with worldbuilding opportunities.Īll Rights Reserved. The World Beyond the Ice Wall is a collaborative worldbuilding venture that combines interests ranging from worldbuilding, alternate history, speculative evolution, conspiracy theories, cryptozoology, conlanging, ufology, mythology, occultism, geopolitics, and all sorts of paranormal and esoteric topics in an attempt to flesh out a world where not only are there continents beyond the ice wall, but one where every conspiracy theory is true. Its been a long time coming, and it took a lot of work to get here, and Im so glad to finally release it.

Here it is, the final, definitive version of the world beyond the ice wall map.
