If you add every single other church or shrine that's dedicated to St. Michael to the map, what's the straight line you can draw that contains the most of those locations?
- margalabargala 2y agoAs this article found, the answer to that question depends heavily on the map projection you use.
- pdabbadabba 2y agoPerhaps we have yet to discover the real St. Michael's sword, which would, of course, be aligned along a geodesic line.
- hef19898 2y agoYeah, spherical geometry exists. But using various projections makes for better click bait.
- seanhunter 2y agoIn TFA he tries the geodesic line first before trying the various projections. It doesnt' really fit any of them because even with these extremely cherry-picked seven points, you can't retcon them into having been designed to be in a line when they weren't.
