Flat Earth Map - Gleason's New Standard Map Of The World - Large 24 x 36 1892

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.

The circumstances of Joseph Steer Christopher’s life and connection to zetetic astronomy were assembled from a number of sources: It’s not clear if Christopher worked directly for John Morden, but as both were involved with the East India Company, so there is a good chance. If we are to presume Modern College on Gleason’s map equates to Morden college, the patent date matches a time in history when the college housed “decayed” merchants. Founder John Morden established the college to provide board, lodging and a pension for merchants who had fallen on hard times. Morden was an international trader and member of the Levant (Turkey) Company and the East India Company, returning to London in 1660 having amassed a substantial fortune. They say that the phenomenon at sea of the ship “rising” or disappearing is to be explained by refraction, and that if the earth were spherical the compass would not point north or south.Morden College is a"Collegiate Type Institution" , but not in the sense of being a University or College. There is ample publicly available evidence that the earth is not flat. NASA has published images of the earth from space, noting the “ancient Greeks believed the Earth was round and calculated its circumference with remarkable accuracy” ( here). Only the fourth known example of Alexander Gleason’s 1892 New Standard Map of the World, an important example of the migration of flat Earth thought from England to the United States. Joseph Streep Christopher, the man behind the map projection, was a boarder at Morden College, a home for merchants who had fallen on hard times. While Christopher’s exact relationship with John Morden, the founder of the college, is unclear, their mutual involvement with the East India Company suggests a likely connection. To make sense of all this one must refer to Gleason’s Is the Bible from Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe? (Buffalo: Buffalo Electrotype and Engraving Co., 1890, with an enlarged 2nd ed. in 1893). There he marshals Scripture, quirky interpretations of physical science, shoddy observation, and dollops of “common sense” to argue that the Earth is flat, stationary and the center of the cosmos. Late in the work he announces and describes his new map:

Morden College said they searched their files and found the following information on "J.S. Christopher". : 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. If you are taking your map to a local framer, they will measure the map for you and then make the frame to fit. Maps in "A" paper sizes The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles.” —US Patent No. 497,917 by Alexander Gleason

Gleason's New Standard Map of the World

As Gleason’s map is centered on the north pole, the edges indicate the south pole. Experts told Reuters that Antarctica is clearly visible as the white ring on the perimeter of the map, contrary to claims by social media users that the continent is not shown. As of November 2020, OCLC 792893248 and 1046459952 give three solid institutional holdings (Boston Public Library-Leventhal Map & Education Center, National Geographic Society and Yale). The entry for an example at the American Geographic Society Library in Milwaukee appears to be a modern reproduction. The map recently featured in Garrett Dash Nelson et al., Bending Lines: Maps and Data from Distortion to Deception,an exhibition at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library. 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.” Thanks for watching the Globebusters! We appreciate it! Join Bob, Jeran, Ben, Iru and their many guests as they continue to explore the world we all live in and attempt to make the breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth’s protective layers.

So watch the videos, glean out the good and trash the bad parts. As believers, we are not going to agree on all things but should agree to love one another. It's the Lord's job to judge, not ours. Don't let anything disturb your faith. If something bothers you, take it to the Lord before you take any action. Sometimes it can take months before you can confidently move forward with something spiritual, even the flat earth. Remember: Col_3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

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.

The so-called “Gleason Map” is an old map published in the 19th century. The author was a flat-Earther who claimed the map as the “flat Earth map.” In reality, the map is just a normal azimuthal equidistant map centered on the North Pole. Remember, what the apostle Paul said, "but test (or prove) everything; hold fast what is good!" (1 Thes 5:21 ESV) The shadow [earth] casts on the moon during an eclipse is round, regardless of where the moon is in the sky,” Steffen said.
