Maps I find Mesmerizing 

This series improves my geography and my vocabulary at the same time

Jack is never gonna run out of titles

The face at "they just look at each other angrily across a fence" was iconic

1:44 Ballet for Russia is actually very accurate. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment but as a "standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized - an idealized way of behaving." The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to cultivate new Russian people.

The Japan year 5 thing is what is called "Nengo", which divides eras by which emperor was/is on the throne. Recently, in 2019, the previous emperor retired and the new one was enthroned, hence 2023 is the 5th year of the "Reiwa" period.

0:50 Jack claims "all of Europe" is covered by Google Street View despite the gaping hole where Germany is.

As an Egyptian. The year one is inaccurate ( 4:49 ). We all live in 2023. The one related to 1444 is more of a Religious thing for Muslims

Hey Jack, at 1:56 you showed an American proposal to create a canal through Israel. It should be noted that this was NOT proposed recently. The plan was made in 1963, when US relations with Egypt were quite bad, and there was a possibility that Egypt could block the US its allies from using the Suez Canal. So the US made an alternative idea, with a canal through Israel. But obviously, this never happened.

2:20 It's because as you go up, i.e., the altitude increases, the atmosphere gets thinner and thinner and the temperature cools down.

Hello Jack. For half a year, I was unable to express how much you taught me geography and how much you entertained me. Thank you very much for that.

You said you'd butcher the Finnish pronounciation and you absolutely delivered that promise 😂

2:20 Heat does come from the Sun, but you need to take the greenhouse effect into consideration, which traps the heat closer to sea level. The higher you go, the less atmosphere there is, and the less greenhouse effect there is. The area behind the Himalayan mountain range is the Tibetan plateau, which is also at a higher altitude. Also, temperature is affected by air currents, especially coming from the sea (water temperature plays a role in regulating air temperature), and those are blocked by big mountains. 4:33 To clarify, pretty much all countries do use the Gregorian calendar (the one that says we're in 2023), because it's useful for international communication and coordination, but in some countries, it's used alongside a traditional or religious calendar. Which makes sense, of course, since the Gregorian calendar is itself a traditional/religious calendar in Europe. The Japanese calendar works by indicating who the current emperor is, and what year of his rule we are in. Currently, we are in Reiwa 5. World War 2 ended in Showa 20. The year 2000 corresponds to Heisei 12, and so on.

Can we all take a moment to appriciate the fact that Jack never runs out of video titles?

7:31 as a Finn I have to say that you made all countries drunk expect Suomi, my country. I absolutely loved how you said United Kingdom 😂

Amazing video Jack! Keep up the great work! ❤

Most of this was covered by drew durnil too 😂

It's always nice when Jack uploads!

03:28 Actually, they're not at war anymore! The peace treaty was signed in 2018

1:53 armenia is known for mount ararat(one of the country's national symbols), even though the mountain actually lies in turkey

Its always a great day when jack uploads

jack promised to go to San Marino. (redditors going crazy) 5:08

1:49 germany is more known for something else *1940 vibes*

Jack is running out of words for these videos 😂.

As a Finnish person, I cried when Jack pronounced the UK in Finnish

This channel isnt just getting me an A+ in geography, but also vocabulary

0:46 "All Europe at this point" Germany: Am I a joke to you?

Me when I already saw all these maps from Drew Durnil 😭

6:34 i from there

2:11 as someone living in delhi, i can confirm that that's absolute bs, it's around 30-35C here

I’m gonna hear Jack saying “enhance enhance” in my sleep

6:12 ain't no way Borneo is only Indonesia 💀 There's 3 country,Indonesia,Malaysia and Brunei

0:46 "All Europe at this point" Germany: Am I a Joke to you?

I love these videos

4:50 the year is widely accepted as 2023 except in the DPRK but for the years shown it’s just for religious reasons

Jack, we need more GeoGuessr on the channel.

Next title maps I find umm idk

1:27 IKEA! Minecraft: Am I a joke to you?

Despite Cyprus being a tree (cypress), it has 4% urban tree cover.

For North Korea, the year is 112 because they base time on Kim il Sung's birth year in 1912.

8:36 I know it’s not a simple as this, but I think croatia should at least give bosnia the little extra bit

Jack is never gonna run out of synonyms of amazing

7:46 I could only understand "Suomi" 😂

I would definetely watch more videos of him playing that game

As a finn 7:31 was the most entertaining 16 seconds of my life

9:29 Bro really thought Liberia borders Burkina Faso 💀

Cyprus has almost no trees because in the Bronze Age people mined copper there and used the trees as fuel

would love to see a whole video centered around the game you played at the end!! that was a lot of fun to watch and try and guess along

This channel made me from knowing almost nothing from geography to nothing a heck ton of geography

Jack finally found a new synonym. At least he’s not naming the map videos the same now😂

This is truly mesmerizing.

I like a video with a healthy amount of "enhance, enhance".

I really like that "get from point A to B" game. Hope you play it again.

0:58 when you look in europe the only countries that aren't in are Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. And it's kinda funny when you look closer to those two countries you can see the gap and it feels weird

I hope this series never ends ❤🌏

1:52 as a macedonian myself, i'm honored to see that Alexander III is put as our most notable thing in our country according to chatgpt

Jack saying how good the street view is: Also jack: *ignores the fact Canada is non existent*

It is 1444 is the middle east and north africa as they are predominantly Muslim and the islamic callander starts from when the prophet migrated. Just a little fact there. 4:41

At 7:08 jack is talking about how he sees a person, but I dont see it at all. In fact, I see a dog with a funny beard.

In Japan the years are based on the current Emporer, so it is the 5th year of the Reiwa era, which started in 2019 with Emperor Naruhito.

Still waiting for the trip to Equatorial Guinea Jack! Can’t wait!

Jacks google search after this : Words for amazing Words for great Words for good Word for interesting Word for happy Words for sad Words for ugly Words for strange Words for unsettling And finally, words for memorising 😂

Jack should make a channel where we learns new words to put in the title of these videos

0:55 what is going on with germany?

3:36 jack you have eyes look with them

4:50 Ethiopia uses Gregorian Calendar like most of the planet but it actually starts at the real birth of Jesus not like in the other countries and at 7:13 it's the Bodele's Depression, it's filled by minerals dated to the Green Sahara period when lake Chad was a huge af lake and the minerals fly and reach the Amazon Forest to actually feed it

I can actually explain why Japan is technically in year five. Historically, Japan counted the years as "year X of Emperor Y's reign", so the years would be called something like Meiji 26 or Shouwa 50. Ever since the Meiji restoration, Japan has been globalizing, and that extends to using the Christian year in official settings, but it's not technically incorrect to refer to 2023 as Reiwa 5, the fifth year of Naruhito's reign.

russia is actually very well known for their ballet! there's an entire school/method of ballet that originated in russia

*Drew Durnil Covers a meme* Jack short time later: *Also Covers it*

Next videos: Maps I find pretty Maps I find good-looking Maps I find amazing Maps I find fantastic

They left out the most insane part of the Israel canal plan from 1963! It wasn't JUST that they wanted to make a new Suez, they wanted to string together 540ish nuclear weapons through the desert to make it. Obviously that did not get too too far, but it is quite the interesting topic! You can actually find the declassified memorandum of the original proposal.

2:21 Low pressure: Warm air rises It cools It condenses It precipitates High air pressure: Warm air sinks. The mountains block the air rising and sinking from colliding with each other (at least that’s what I remember from class)

Australia just sittin' there with no clouds

i love ur vids jack! they’ve inspired me to become good at geography myself!

as a romanian, its annoying the first word someone thinks of about romania is dracula, it really shows how annoying stereotypes are

4:46 in Japan, when a new emperor ascends to the throne, a new era starts, so the 5 means it’s been 5 years since the current emperor gained their title

7:31 "Norja" turned into "Noija" with a week "j" "Ruotsi" turned into "Ruysii" with week "y" "Suomi: turned into "Syomii" with another week "i" (it was actually good pronounciasion) "Yhdistynytkuningaskunta" turned into "jtjastient kynyskas kunta" kunta having a strong "t" Good job Jack, you are finn sertified 🤐

Jacks next maps I find video flags that flabbergasted me

3:46 😂 the subtitles said tonne instead of ton 😂

Bro Sees Constantinople and says I think it’s now Istanbul 😂😂😂

4:45 Here's an explanation for some of the years on the map. In East Asia (starting with China), years were set to be the X year of the reign of the Emperor. So people would say it's the 3rd year of the reign of Kangxi, then the 4th year of the reign of Kangxi. And when he died it would be the 1st year of Yongzheng, then 2nd year, etc. Japan uses the same system revolving around their own emperor so it's the X year of Reiwa. The ROC decided to still use this system but with a lack of an emperor they just slapped it onto year 1912 as the 1st year. Thus with the 1911-1912 revolution, the ROC notates years as the 1st year of the republic, 2nd year of the republic, etc. Similarly North Korea adapts the same system but it's year 1 is the year of the birth of Kim Il-sung (which also happens to be 1912). Also, 1444 looks like the year according to the Islamic Calendar staring with something to do with Muhamed's pilgrimage.

The reason why the Himalayan Mountains block off the heat even though it's "coming from the sun which is way higher" is, that the distance a sun ray travels through the atmosphere has an impact on the strength at which it hits the ground. Since the sun only "moves" between 23.5°N and 23.5°S over the course of a year, that part of the earth (called the tropical zone) gets heated the most. Now, hot air always "wants" to move to colder air due to thermodynamics, therefore the hot air masses from the tropical zone form huge wind-streams (called "trade winds") that reach outwards, taking the heat (as well as some water molecules from the Indian Ocean) with them as they go. Upon "crashing into" the Himalayan Mountain Range, they are forced to rise up because there is no other place to go, so they ascend and cool off, eventually raining off by the foot of the mountain. PS: These trade winds are the reason for the Indian Monsoon

Love how both I and my son have come across your videos. He mentioned that he knew you when we saw you on my recomended videos and I saw you in his recommended videos!

the heat is actually from the ground and thus can't go above the hilmalayas 2:21

2:36 i saw jacks face just go from smiling and happy to shocked and sad

something I find cool is Australia is a island, country, and continent

Whenever I watch Jack it’s always the same maps as Drew but the reaction is very different

I like how Jack completely ignored the bit that said 1963 when talking about a alternate plan for the Suez Canal. He was acting like the US still wanted to do it.

Jack:San Marino is the smallest country in the world. 🇻🇦: I'm a ghost

4:44 Japan is in 'Reiwa' since they have 5 major eras (Meiji, Taishō, Shōwa, Heisei, and Reiwa) that correspond to the reign of their emperors. Currently, they're in the 5th year of the Reiwa era hence the 'Reiwa 5'.

play that game you did at the end again for a separate video!

Yay! Another "Maps I find" videos! Great Jack!! Keep up your work!

That was amazing, Jack and everyone who helped.

7:31 as a finn I can tell you butchered everything except "Suomi" which was actually decent

4:49 Everyone: 🧍‍♂️ Ethiopia: “time to dab”

Please talk about Australia more!
