When Were CONTINENTS KNOWN TO BE CONTINENTS & GIVEN THEIR NAMES?
Continents were named gradually, with ancient roots for the Old World and European exploration defining the New World. Europe, Asia, and Africa were named in antiquity (by 500 BCE), while the Americas were named in 1507 after Amerigo Vespucci, and Australia was officially adopted in the early 19th century.
Key Naming Origins and Timeframes:
- Europe (c. 6th century BCE): Named in Greek writings, likely originating from Greek mythology (Princess Europa) or Akkadian words for "sunset" or the west.
- Asia (c. 440 B.C.): First used in Greek texts for Anatolia, likely deriving from local Anatolian terms before expanding to the whole continent.
- Africa (Antiquity): Originally applied by Romans to the Carthage area (modern Tunisia), it was slowly extended to the whole continent.
- Americas (1507): Named by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in a 1507 map to honor Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci.
- Antarctica (Late 1800s): Named from the Greek for "opposite the Arctic," recognized as a continent in the 19th/20th century.
- Australia (1824): Derived from the Latin Terra Australis (Southern Land). It was championed by Matthew Flinders and adopted by the British Admiralty in 1824.
The word "continent" itself was used from the 16th century to mean a continuous tract of land.

VOODOO HISTORY OF JEKYLL ISLAND
This video provides a concise summary of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, which explores the history, formation, and impact of the Federal Reserve System. The book contends that the Federal Reserve acts as a private cartel rather than a government agency, exerting significant control over the U.S. economy.
Key Takeaways from the Book:
- Origins as a Cartel: The system was established in secret by bankers and politicians at Jekyll Island in 1910 to consolidate control over the money supply (0:25-1:04).
- Power to Create Money: The Federal Reserveinfluences the economy and interest rates by effectively creating money through monetary policy (1:17-1:47).
- Economic Impact: The video details how Fed policies can lead to inflation (2:00-2:42), influence employment levels (2:44-3:12), and contribute to financial bubbles and crises, such as the Great Depression and the 2008 financial meltdown (4:40-5:26, 5:30-6:15).
- Wealth Inequality: The author argues that these policies often favor Wall Street over Main Street, exacerbating income inequality (3:53-4:36).
- Lack of Accountability: Because the Federal Reserveoperates independently, it is often criticized for a lack of transparency and for making decisions based on industry interests rather than purely economic data (3:14-3:52, 6:18-7:03).
- Global Influence: As the U.S. dollar is the world's dominant currency, Fed policies have significant global consequences, often causing instability in emerging markets (7:05-7:45).
- Calls for Alternatives: The book discusses potential alternatives to the current system, such as a return to the gold standard or the adoption of decentralized digital currencies (8:35-9:13).
