With 2013 ending it is time to look back at the top posts of 2013. I decided to take a look at my most viewed post and the one that caused the biggest comment flame war.

Thank you, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. The Map of Non-European Popes was a huge hit and became an even bigger hit when a South American was elected pope.

Most Commented Post/Biggest Flame War
The Native American Nations Map is Beautiful But Invents a Fake Geography of American Indians was destined to be a talked about post, I never knew just how much. The map is beautiful but, as I and then readers pointed out, there are numerous errors. It turns out the errors are not mistakes but political favoritism for some nations over others. By his own comments, cartographer Aaron Carapella showed himself to prefer myth over history, belief that race matters in science, and he even threatened me. All over a map.
