False. Gleason’s map is a depiction of the earth as a globe in a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection and is not proof that the earth is flat. Morden College was established in 1700 by Sir John Morden, a wealthy merchant, as "A Charity Home for Retired Merchants who have lost tneir estates" for those merchants who had fallen on hard times. David Goldhaber-Gordon, a professor of physics at Stanford University, said that while flat maps are convenient, “a flat map of a curved surface must have distortions,” and “different mappings create different distortions.”

In any case, whether the world is or isn't flat, this map is a wonderfully rendered polar azimuthal projection of the world, with North America and Russia at the top. It appears that present day residents cover a broader range than just the original requirements of "Retired Merchants who have lost their estates." I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 100 inches (250cm) tall. Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.Published in 1892, the creator of this map, Alexander Gleason, also believed that the world was flat. Though there was no evidence for this, he even wrote 'SCIENTIFICALLY AND PRACTICALLY CORRECT' at the top of the map. This quite a smart map - the numbers around the outside of the central disc show that longitude and time zones can be calculated quite simply by flattening the globe. Many country and city names are on this map. Feel free to message me if you want to confirm if a certain label is on the map or not.

These forces are running and ruining our world. They are in control of governments, industries and most people. You have to deal with this fact. Why hide the flat earth. Because Satan wants evolution and needs this spinning ball thing flying through space. He can't have people knowing there is a firmament over a motionless flat earth. That screams God made it. So he brain washes the people into believing a lie and we all bought the lie. This proves how effective Satan is at deceiving the nations. He has deceived even you and me. But God will allow us to see through Satan's lies if we will read and study His Word and observe His creation. Creation screams of the glory of God. Goldhaber-Gordon said GPS is “based on not only an (approximately) spherical earth but also the special and general theories of relativity” that “would make no sense in any flat earth picture,” which is why anyone using GPS is relying on the roundness of the earth.It is interesting that Gleason labeled the map as"the world as it is" and"scientifically and practically correct" rather than mentioning or citing it as being based on the AEP. An absolutely BRILLIANT analysis of the 1892 Gleason’s Flat Earth Map. So many questions are answered in this video and the secrets of Alexander Gleason are revealed regarding his masterpiece map. Morden College is a"Collegiate Type Institution" , but not in the sense of being a University or College. Gleason’s map bears a patent date of November 15, 1892, granted in the United States, with applications made in several other countries. It features two indicator hands that reflect a time chart, rather than a map, used to ascertain the time in any part of the world relative to your own meridian time.

From the registered patent, he never mentioned that the Earth is flat. On the contrary, he said that he made the map from a globe, which explains how a north-pole centered azimuthal equidistant map is designed. References Gleason received U.S. patent 497,917 for his map on May 23, 1893. Like the description above, the application makes no mention of his flat-earth views, and indeed at one point seems to contradict them: These theorists assert that Sir Isaac Newton was crazy, and Galileo and Columbus mistaken; that if the earth were a revolving globe, a projectile thrown vertically upward would not fall on the spot from which it was hurled. have denied the corpse Christian burigl, and it was therefore interred secretly at Scellaires, a Barnardian abbey, between Nogent Troyes. By a decree of the National Assembly (1791) his remains were placed in the Pantheon, in Paris. Remember, what the apostle Paul said, "but test (or prove) everything; hold fast what is good!" (1 Thes 5:21 ESV)Is it any wonder that Alexander Gleason of No. 1201 Niagara street, is making an effort to prove that the earth is flat? Nowadays nothing seems impossible to a Buffalonian. When Mr. Gleason has successfully demonstrated his theory in regard to our planet, he will doubtless take possession of the earth in the name of his native city.” ( The Buffalo Commercial, Nov. 21, 1890, p. 7) From the map’s patent, we know the author was aware and in full knowledge that the map was just a projection of the spherical Earth, contradictory to the claims in his book. I have come to Paris to find my glory and my grave,’—a proof that he considered his dramas as his chief productions [of life], and, in truth, dramatic works were his last labors. The circumstances of his death have been related differently, but it is certain that Voltaire died without receiving the sacrament in the eighty-fifth year of his age, May 30, 1778. The Archbishop of Paris is said to If you happen to believe the Earth is flat... or you know someone who does... then this is one of the finest flat Earth maps that you can buy!

I source original, extremely rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original. At the top right hand corner of the map (Figure 1), it’s stated that a patent was granted on November 15, 1892. The patent was granted in the United States.This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm) and 24x32 inches (61x81cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
