Is Earth right side up, or upside down ?

Why do we view the earth as View attachment 1513806 ? Why don't we view the earth as View attachment 1513807 ? Who says the arctic has to be at the top, while the antarctic is at the bottom ? We sometimes refer to those in the southern hemisphere as "down-under", but why aren't we in the northern hemisphere the ones down-under ? If aliens approached our planet from space, would they cruise in viewing the earth as in image #1 ? Or, would we tell them, "Hey, you're coming in upside-down ! " And while we're at it, why are heads always at the top of the body ? Maybe those aliens would have heads right above their legs, and their stomach, heart, and all the other guts would be at the top of their body.

Easy, you use what every toolbox should have in it: a Sneakometer. And, by the way the winner would be one of two brands: P F Flyers, or Keds. View attachment 1513852View attachment 1513853
What is it about this thread? More Stoner references... Back in my Navy days while stationed on a boat in Guam there was a group who referred to themselves as the PF Flyers... They would always go to a spot Port Forward to spark their doobage....
 
Probably true. The Turin papyrus map from Egypt, drawn around 1150 B.C. shows the top of the map as oriented to the south.
See, I told ya not to let the Egyptians draw any maps... Next you'll let Kiwi's have a shot at it.... Ain't no telling what kinda crazy **** they'll take on the way to the map drawing party....
 
...because Polaris is the NORTH STAR!
