i'll take it

Why is it upside down?
-
because wh*tes decided which way was right side up
-
Up is North, because North is at the top of a compass, and is the direction a compass will always point towards.
-
The earliest known compasses humans used were called "zhi nan zhen," meaning "south pointing needle." It pointed south. European navigators using the technology inverted this so it would point north.
-
Antarctica is clearly earth's hat. The compass has nothing to do with it.

I prefer this explanation, tbh.

Asia as a concept was created by the europeans though - it is was the greeks called anatolia or asia minor.
