Pangea - the supercontinent that existed 300 million years ago

This month, I came across an artists impression of Pangea, the super-continent that existed 300 million years ago. Massimo Pietrobon drew the political demarcations with respect to the world in 2012, but also admits that he was forced to take artistic liberty in order to force the giant jigsaw to fit together. What interesting however is what the world looked like 300 million years ago, where all countries were united in one giant landmass. Read more about it here.
