I used to believe that the current borders (I'm tlaking about teh current borders according to back when i believed this.) have always been there forever. I was shocked when I first saw an old map that has the U.S.S.R. on it, and again when I saw a map of the ancient Roman Empire. I tried to tell everyone that these maps lied until about age 11.
