this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting
the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that’s sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.
I DMed a D&D campaign a few years ago for which I drew a map that was just North America with the water level up 300 meters and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Nobody noticed it after I let the characters discover the map.
