Custom Maps - "Dumb test for smart people" [PLAY ALONG]

I'm back from the states. While I play catch up, I offer you this. A quirky play along game that will supposedly separate the dons from the dunces...
PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to RUclips to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

As the map maker I can 100% confirm the amphitheatre is the original, it also exists in GeoGuessr's famous places map. Glad you enjoyed the map and hope everyone else learns something new too! Was a lot of fun to make (I'm also always open to people messaging me with new replica location ideas!)

It's not a map of the island, it's a bunch of blue butterflies, the shop has a massive blue butterfly other side of the door

[@headlights-go-up]

That moment when seeing blue butterflies makes you think Japanese people read maps upside down...lol

I like how they blurred out the faces of two of the fake easter island statues, but not the other five, as if to imply that those two specifically requested to be anonymous

The lady in the first location’s garb had “rapa nui” written on it which is what the natives call Easter Island.

[@beorlingo]

"Capa nui or something". Rapa nui is what the indigenous people of Easter Island call that island.

Small correction: The moai statues on Easter Island didn't sink into the ground over time, they were deliberately buried up to their necks by their builders (some, not all of them).

The amphitheater is 100% the original. But there was a amphitheater in most Greek/Roman cities with different sizes and designs. Most of them look really cimilar.

Love that the island says "Isla de Pascua" literally Easter Island....

[@williamklumpenhower1188]

I love how they've blurred the faces on the replica easter island statues to protect their privacy

Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010 so 6 years. Nailed it Tom.

fun fact: there is actually an arena/amphitheatre in Pula, Croatia, which is basically a smaller version of the Colosseum.

[@barlikwornik3769]

The theater one was just hard, there are hundreds of them all around the Mediterranean. Kinda impossible to figure it out unless you’re really into it.

"Don't know what that big lake is doing" that's Ranu Kau, and that's no ordinary lake! It's a CRATER lake! Ranu Kau is a dormant volcano, one of the three main volcanoes on the island, the other two being Terevaka and Poike. These three extinct volcanoes formed the island, hence why the island is shaped like a triangle. In the Rapa Nui culture, the ceremonial center of Orongo is found at the southwestern tip of Ranu Kau. Orongo is where the people did a ritual every year of swimming to the islet of Motu Nui, pick up the first sooty tern/manu tara egg of the season, and then bring it back undamaged while climbing up to the village

"Do Japanese people read maps upside-down?" has got to be the Tom quote of the year.

"Easter Island" - when you zoomed it you could see "Isla de Pascua", it's spanish translation because this island belongs to Chile. Knowing that it belongs to Chile helps finding it. Also knowing that Easter in french is Pâques (sounds similar to Pascua) makes it easier to understand what's happening on the map without knowing spanish.

The city of Split in Croatia was built around a Roman emperors, Diocletianus, palace. It still stands to this day and is one of the best preserved works of Roman architecture.

"What stamp, what mark did [the Romans] make [on Croatia]?" While looking directly at the city of Split, the former capital of Roman Dalmatia, where the Palace of Diocletian is, was fairly amusing
