Once upon a time... umm... No

Once in 335 Million Years ago...
There was a land so vast, no man has ever fully conquer it before
A land so vast, the sun rises and sets in the same ocean,
A land so vast, that everything lives in it


A land called...


Pangaea






*hehe* How bout that? Did that make a good intro narration? No... Huh, shucks... :(
Well, I want to write about the Earth landmass 355 Million years ago, Pangaea
That is basically our entire Earth's continent, merged into one lump of soil


Now, What if Pangaea still exists until today? What are the benefits? What are the Consequences?
What will the life looked like? Hmm... this going to be a long post, so better grab your drinks and snacks.


EXPLANATION TIME!


Before you return your cola back to the fridge, Let's see the context of our topic today

Pangaea or Pangea (spelled: Pan-gee-ya) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. An era between "all-aquatic lifes" and "Early Dinousaur age". It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean, Panthalassa. Pangaea was the last supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists.

The name came from a Greek word Pan (All, Together, United) and Gaia (Earth, Goddess), That means Pangaea means All-in-One Earth.
The concept that the continents once formed a continuous land mass was first proposed by Alfred Wegener, the originator of the theory of continental drift, in his 1912 publication The Origin of Continents (Die Entstehung der Kontinente). He expanded upon his hypothesis in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), in which he explained that, before breaking up and drifting to their present locations, all the continents had formed a single supercontinent that he called the "Urkontinent". At first, He used the Germanized name "Pangaaea" But it was Anglicized in Accord to the American Association of Geologists in 1926

And Our dish of the day... Scenario

Well, Pangaea exists before mankind even existed on earth yet...

But still, Let us review what we got here...
Pangaea is a huge landmass with almost no borders with exceptions of a few strands of Rivers and Mountain Belts

Now, If human exists on Pangaea. There would be 3 Scenario that Might happen together.

First, Pangaea would have a Climate that you would see on Mainland China. A Subtropical-Temperate land. This will affect the Flora and Fauna of the land, Indeed, right? 
But, this means Humans living in Pangaea would have different Culture behaviour than ours
Say like this... People living in Germany, UK and Sweden would like to have a fur coat, warming foods, and a warm home. But people living in Egypt, India, and Southeast Asian Countries would wear thin clothes, cool home and foods with cooling efficacy...

This means the world would be one... A Utopia coming to reality...
But, without differing culture, this world would be either really bleak because of "A united ruleship, and things accompanying it" ... Or really Peaceful... like heaven... on earth (Pun unintended)

Pick Your Poison, Humanity


Since humans are "united" and there are no "Differences"... The Very nature of Human itself will change... Either humans would be Noncompetitive like what we are now or they are "Less Competitive". Probably another Sapient being equal to human also exists to back the Competitiveness... A somewhat "Fairytale world"

Second, If Humans doesn't unite they would form something extremely similar to Medieval Europe. Or at least something like "Final Fantasy kind of world"...
Humans would retain their natural "competitiveness" and will seek to gain power among the other... An "Mega Empire versus Surviving Kingdoms" kind of world

And third... If our world exists in Pangaea... 
I can't really write something this bizzare...

But to keep things short... We won't live long.
There... 

Hwell... there's my scenario...

What would happen if Pangaea exists today? What happen in that third scenario? Tell me your mind in the comments or via email :)
