Unfinished London will still not be finished.

I like to imagine that you were visiting India for unrelated reasons years ago and decide to take the opportunity to say "Here, in India" in the case that you ever needed a clip related to India.
-
The part where they subtly but abruptly turned into weathermen is absolutely gold
-
2:33 love how New Zealand just materialises out of the sea
-
Tom Scott and Map Men on the same day right after each other? Nice
-
“180 Million years ago, before the Second and First World War, the world looked like this” I mean, that is correct.
-
0:46 for those who are wondering it said Well, it's a combination of that and the fact the having access to the sea is really important for a country to thrive and not be conquered by its neighbours, so any territory that finds itself double-landlocked probably won't last as an independent country for ling. Anyway, don't worry about that, the point still stands about the way the world's landmass is spread out.

The map of the future supercontinent has an uncanny resemblance to Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls universe if you just got rid of all the major islands.
-
I like how their eyebrows get increasingly bigger during the bit where they explain where the continents may move to
-
Imagine explaining to the government why Mark needs to go to India to say 3 words.
-
3:53 I appreciate the eyebrows growing XD
-
looks like elder scrolls world map

"But rocks alone weren't solid enough" That pun hit me like a boulder.
-
"Rocks alone weren't solid enough." Okay. Okay. Nice.
-
I love the deadpan humoristic exchanges between the two of you. Learning things in a pleasant package certainly helps!
-
3:00 according to one of my Geology lecturers, continental drift isn't caused by convection currents, and scientists have never thought it was. It just ended up in the textbooks somehow and became common knowledge. The real mechanism by which continents move are a combination of "ridge push" and "slab pull", which is essentially old plate dragging the rest along, while newly formed plate is pushed away from where it formed
-
Brilliant. I laughed out loud whilst alone at the 1915 Alfred Wegener bit of writing.
-
“Everyone else at the time rowdily disagreed with him, as at the time people always do” - next level wisdom here
-
I love your videos so much! You put so much effort in to them and it's very much noticed and appreciated. Please keep them coming!

"While he was still dead" implies he came back to life later on
