A massive hidden continent may be rewriting our world map
In short: For centuries, we have been taught that Earth has seven continents. However, new geological evidence suggests a massive landmass has been hiding in plain sight beneath the ocean waves.
Zealandia is a submerged landmass roughly the size of India. While traditional geography identifies seven continents, this discovery suggests that our fundamental understanding of Earth's geography may need a significant update.
The video explores the existence of this hidden continent, which has remained beneath the oceans for a long period, challenging the long-held status quo of global geography.
