your point was moot to begin with. Regardless of how GMT came about, GMT 0 is still London, so it still makes sense to put it in the centre.

False. That map indicates zulu time. The post shows the international dateline and Greenwich

Actualy, it's because during the late middle ages/renesance, britain, france, spain and portugal was litteraly the center of the world, both when it comes to economy and military. Not to mention they were the primary causes an accurate world map could be drawn. Most modern maps drawn in europe place britain in the center both as an honorary nod to them, and because it's convenient since no continents are sliced in half.

Cept their maps of the world were the first. Not to mention it doesn't cut any continent in half. It's just a convention.

also you know that map is upside down, if you can read Arabic you will find that all the words are upside down since the early Muslim geographers viewed the world opposite to how we see it today, and the weird thing is is that they weren't exactly wrong

Never heard that before, but it might also be because centering the earth on any other position will leave you staring at a whole lot of the Pacific and end up cutting some poor continent in half.

How about every history book that doesn't go over the 1 million whites enslaved by Africans, motherfucker?

But England is in the middle cos they invented it...
