@WhiteJihadJaws@poa.st @TeaTootler@poa.st I HAVE READ UP ON IT AND IT ACTUALLY WASN'T THAT DRASTIC HIS CALCULATIONS MADE THE EARTH LIKE 75% OF THE SIZE THE GREEKS CAME UP WITH, BUT HE HAD A BUNCH OF CONFLICTING DATA ABOUT THE SIZE OF ASIA, WITH DIFFERENT LENGTH MILES SO HE WAS THINKING SIBERIA WAS WAAAY WIDER AND THE GAP BETWEEN THE PERSIAN GULF AND INDIA AND CHINA WAS WAY LARGER, SO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN JAPAN AND SAY CANARY ISLANDS WAS MUCH MORE MANAGEABLE WITH SMALL SHIPS
