By this logic Canada should be called New Newfoundland
It's a province in the Netherlands. It's only \ few hundred km from legoland in Denmark - the dude should get out more - I bet he only goes to the central bit of Old Amsterdam.
So named by famed Dutch explorer Abel Tasman
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Tasman
Who on his most famous voyage, mapped the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand and Tasmania while managing to completely miss continental Australia.
A province in the Netherlands. Lots of sea there; translates "sea land".
Ah, so there's Zealand Classic. Thank you!
Damn, that makes total sense
translates to "sea land."
Ah sweet. Can I see Shamu?
Is the Epcot at Disneyland?
What is denis YT doing in lemmy
there is actually an indie game in which old zealand exists, it's called nuclear drifter and is a bit like the first fallout games, it's pretty fun and you should check it out on steam, it's even free I think
Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.
I recall that from Istanbul (not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants
This is closer in spelling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand 😂
"Trust you? You don't even know where New Zealand is."
"You can dance your way there from Old Zealand...."
"...that's China."
"YOU'RE China!"
That's an outrageous accusation.
“You’re an idiot, J.D.”
Why they changed it, I can't say...
People just liked it better that way.
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Underwater actually. Zealandia did exist
Zeeland still exists, it's between Zuid-Holland and Belgium
stop making up country names, funny man.
Zealandia is not old Zealand.... The name comes from a province in the Netherlands.
Unbelievable, I would never have guessed
We know where the old one is and it's basically on all world maps - it's the New Zealand that keeps disappearing from them.
That would be straya
