Fun fact : the caricatural French "disguise" the lads use is actually specifically from Brittany. Back in the day Breton onion sellers (also known as Onion Johnnies) would travel to Great Britain wearing their trademark "marinière" (blue/white horizontal striped shirt) and bérets, and that became how the British saw the French.
So by all means, the Brits made their own stereotype of France from the Bretons who were from Britain as well lel
@@gustavszile8146 Bretons are from Brittany, a region of France, though I understand the confusion.
@@badaboum2 I know they're from Brittany, its just that the Bretons originally migrated from Britain itself, orginally being the Celtic Britons of the land, hence why I made the joke that they set up the stereotypical Frenchman themselves.

@@andknuckles101 and less minutes to revolution
The Great Trigonometrical Survey, commissioned by the East India Company, wasn't completed before the Company itself was, a hundred years later. The moral here is obviously never to start mapping anything, it's bad luck.
Well of course. The Monarchy is dismantled, so nobody is paying your paycheque. No reason to continue working on it.
@@raffriff42 Sorry there is a grammatical flurry here which is confusing me Edit: .
The brilliant comment at 2:36 was actually said by Louis XIV on a preparatory map by Cassini Senior (the one of the coasts). And it is even more snarky!

This is actually kind of an incredible insight about Napoleon's strategy. Having far more accurate maps and more importantly an accurate to scale map would be an insane way to have an advantage over enemies who were using outdated maps, all the way up until ww1 and planes
Heh, kind of like Russia today in Ukraine - there were many reports of Russians using 30+ year old maps for some cities... :V
@@DanieliusGoriunovas given the state of eastern europe, I'd guess that it doesn't make any difference whatsoever. most cities do not significantly change over 30 years anyway. yes, shops come and go, and some new buildings get build, but generally, the same old streets are where they used to be and no new districts suddenly appear. for some big cities, sure. in small cities? unlikely. especially in eastern europe.

@@dm-gq5uj don't forget the amount of money from the treasury the cassinis took for their map making, It would've cost a fortune for the king as he was financing the whe expedition
Napoleon didn't throw Cassini Jr Jr Jr in prison. Cassini was imprisoned in 1794 but Napoleon didn't take power until 1799. It was the National Assembly (the precursor to Napoleon) who imprisoned Cassini.
In fact, Napoleon really liked him and made Cassini a senator and a count which was unsurprising given Napoleon's large respect for and patronage of the sciences.

I’m from Boston and I can confirm I have found many professors via random knocking
Did you practice your knocking before?
They’re actually really great at responding to (honest) questions via email or talking during office hours, even to people not enrolled in the school. I’ve been bothering professors since I was 14 in 2005 and never really had an experience of getting brushed off (ironically the only times I did get kind of ignored were by professors I was currently in the class of. But that was only two professors out of years of education).

I'm assuming you saw it, but for anyone who hasn't, he was in a Surf Shark and at the end of Jay's first unfinished London on the tube map (14?)
There is one sidenote I would like to place next to the four generations thing: in those days, it wasn't uncommon at all for sons to take up the same profession as their fathers. If your father was a carpenter, you became a carpenter too, because he taught you all the tricks of the trade. So in that sense, four generations of Cassini's all being cartographers wasn't that unusual. Of course, that they all worked on one giant project for that long is pretty incredible.
I reckon people get that, le Kings of France. Heck Louis XIV did not even manage to hand off to a son but you get my point. Although I would expect some maneuvering amount the nobility of the robe and intellectuals.
I mean, the lifelong job security for such a giant task is pretty cool.

The german map men intro is a little less catchy. Kartemänner, Kartemänner, Karte karte männermännermänner

In German, these two parts "die Karte (f.)" (the map) and "die Männer (m. pl.)" (the men) would be connected by a little 'n', a so-called interfix, so it have to be written and said as "Kartenmänner" and not "Kartemänner"

I think they are onions but either way, they come from Breton onion sellers (or Onion Johnnies) that came to Britain (especially Wales) wearing the blue and white striped shirt (marinière). These onion sellers usually had onions on a string as well which is where it comes from. Considering most British people would have only seen French people like this (during the 1830s to 1930s), the stereotypes of French people came from them.
