This one’s so simple, yet so hard to see if you don’t know what you are looking for. I haven’t spot the optical illusion until I read the solution that came with it. Don’t worry, it’s nothing abstract. Just when you spot what is hidden in this image, you won’t be able not to see it after that anymore – ever. Even if someone showed you this very same image years from now. Most of the similar ones were linked in our previous Mystery Dots article, so head there if you liked this one. I can give you a slight hint, though. Check this category to adjust your way of thinking ;)
That was difficult! “mamma mia” HINT HINT
Amazing!
“Go Green,Globe”
There’s a hint.^^
This is mediterranean sea… we cann see the italian boot in the middle!
Recognized it within 5 seconds… Pretty easy
soooo easy!!!! ill leave it 2 sum1 else 2 tell u! 1st comment? :):):)
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
It’s the Mediterranean Sea
Is’t just a map of north afterica and South Europe, or am I supposed to see something else?
North Africa*
I see Italy
OMG so clever!
I was looking 4 a face or something
Hint* It’s a European illusion.
The Mediterranean Sea in black, Southern Europe and Northern Africa in white.
Although I saw it in a few seconds, I still think its a great illusion :)
The Mediterranean, very nice.
I don’t see it ):
Any other hints?
I see Italy. So im assumng its a pic of the map of the world over there. The boot shaped itally gave it away in less than 30 seconds
I see Italy. So im assumng its a pic of the map of the world over there. The boot shaped itally gave it away in less than 30 seconds.
The black part is the Mediterranian Sea. You can see the white outline of Italy cutting into the black area. (this is a great pic by the way)
I saw the ‘boot’ of Italy right away!
Well, I can make out the face at the left (the two eyes are the two islands one above the other left of the “boot” in the center of the image). But that leaves the rest of the big black blob to think about… Where I can see two eyes, but can’t make out much else.
It is really hard to find. It took me a very long time till I found it. Could you include in the bit before it how to find it otherwise it will take too long and people won’t enjoy the fun of it!!!
I’ve seen it after one millisecond^^.
Italy gives it up =)
**Spoilerr**
the seas around Italy (see the boot?)
water = black
l;and – white
:)
Maybe im completely missing it but isnt this just the reverse colors for italy and surrounding land? (ie. black is water and white is land)
and therefore the boot.
I hope im wrong, for if im right this is awfully lame in comparison to the good stuff on this site.
I see Italy….
It’s a map of Mediterranean Sea.
I’m first I think.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a map of the Mediterranean…? The black would represent the sea, while the white represents land. Very interesting!
this is driving me nuts, what is it?
i see it
i first saw italy and then realized it was…
***SPOILER***
a map
Mediterranean sea huh?
I noticed italy instantly.
It’s a part of Europe !!!!
1st and its europe
Mediterranean Sea?
I saw this almost instantly.
I like it and saw it right away. But it’s probably harder for someone who doesn’t live in Germany or Egypt.
Is it a wizard riding a lama? I’m the first person to comment!!!!! :)
hahahahaha good one, but sorry it’s obvious to me: I’m Spanish!!!!!!!
what is it?
To easy, spotted it the first time I looked at it.
Its a map of Italy (the boot)
is it a map?
italia?
i see the boot shape xD
Nice, however, I spotted the Italian Boot right away.
But then again, I’m Dutch, so it would be a shame for me not to recognize it immediately. :)
Please, do tell us more about your thoughts!!
I smoked some fine cigars near the line of death.
is it an alien?
i did not use the hint, but it takes few minutes, so i`m not proud xD
Oh, I see it! Tehehe, didn’t even take me long to find it out.
It’s the south European continent and the north of Africa i guess. .
It’s a picture of the Mediterranean sea, the sea is black and land areas are white.
ok i dont see it anyone know what it is
please help
my country in the middle!
Ummmm. It’s a map of the Mediterranean Sea. Am I missing something else?
nice.
the mediteranean sea. easy to find with italy.
I can’t see anything, Clues anyone????????
here’s a hint… think… global ;)
… still can’t get it? Try Land and ocean ;)
Once I saw Italy, it was obvious, but it was a hard one (especially so because I’m awful at geography).
my geography obsession as a kid made this one pretty easy for me.
To me it just looks like all the continents put together
all i see is italy 1st comment yay
I see an Italian boot which makes me hugary for some turkey fried in greece.
what is thid
the Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea, Ligurian Sea and Tyrrhenian Sea
It’s a map, isn’t it? I can see Italy and Sicily..
oh its the world and the black is the water
lol i only knew cuz i could see italy the boot
hey i saw it before now without the solution. probuly cuz ive been studying this place for a while now.
Ah, it’s white on black, not the usual black on white. It took a minute, until I recognized Italy, then I saw the whole thing.
Well, without doing the afterimage, I can almost see Northern Africa, the black being the Mediterranean sea… Other than that, I don’t see anything.
is it italy/europe????
do you like repeating yourself do you like repeating yourself do you like repeating yourself do you like repeating yourself
cypris, dificult hint though :D
It is the Mediterranean Sea
Where’s the illusion? All I see is the Mediterranean. :)
it is the mediterranean sea
Easy, but still cool :)
It’s the Mediteranean Sea! I saw it right away. Of course, I haven[t any idea why or how I recognized it. (Geography was never one of my strong subjects.)
Hint its on a map
Another hint
boot
I see it! its the Mediterranean Sea. I saw it as soon as I clicked on the image. An easy one for me, but nonetheless a classic!
Is it the Mediterranean Sea? I would have thought it was something more complicated. Maybe because I misread ‘you wont be able not to see it’ as ‘you wont be able to see it’.
I saw it near instantly. Recognised the boot of Italy instantly.
I have never seen this illusion before but no mater what you did to this picture I would recognise it without a problem,
I don’t like spoiling it for others so I won’t say its name is but I will say some of the very first empires started and ended in and around this famous body of water :P
lol, i live in canada and i couldn’t tell until i read the comments
how could i have missed Italy???
Its the Mediterranean and surrounding land, with a little bit of Atlantic and Baltic . If you look at the black is looks like a inkblot. As soon as you shift you focus to the white, presto!
Left sideways I see the grinch and his dog
If it is NOT the mediterannian sea, i’d be impressed :P
I see Italy now! Thanks guys!
I live in Canada too, so my knowledge about the other side of the world is limited (:
It Took Me a whle but when i saw italy (the boot) I figured it out
Hmmm… immediately when I glanced at it I saw a cow. Doesn’t anyone else see it? No I can’t NOT see it!
Where do I find the Answer? Is it listed yet?
the black area is basically the Mediterranean Sea.
i really like your website!
I got it right away; if fact I couldn’t figure out what the illusion was supposed to be. All I saw what a map of Europe, incl. Italy.
Ha. It’s Europe xD But I’m not gonna tell how.
The boot in the middle got it for me!
I dunno … I don’t “sea” it, LOL
I don’t get it. I saw the afterimages, I saw the Mysterious Dots. All I can see is what appears to be Italy.
Oh, I see now.
That is obviously the Mediterranean.
I’ve been coming to this site for months now. At first I saw some pretty cool stuff. lately I see NOTHING that is interesting and if this is really just a map with the colors inverted, you must have lost your mind thinking it’s any kind of optical illusion. One other thing. Start making a link to an explanation. It is really frustrating when you don’t even bother to post what the illusion is SOMEWHERE on the site. I usually can figure out what the illusion is WHEN IT IS AN ILLUSION.
Mark
Only difficult if you’re no good at geography (American) lol, sorry Americans, only kidding, sweeping generalisation! I wouldn’t blame anyone for missing Spain tho, what have they done to it? It sure doesn’t look like Spain; only identifiable by it’s relative position.
I believe this same image has been shown at your site before, in some article including several of this kind of images. Can I be correct, or do I remember wrongly?
WELL I THINK ITS NOT ITALY …I FEEL THERE IS A PERSON WITH A BAG IN HIS HAND AND HE IS JUMPING FROM A MOUNTAIN OR A BOAT TO A DIFFERENT AIRBOAT CONTAINING LOADS OF PEOPLE IN IT….WATS SAY ABT THIS IMAGINATION
I guess it’s hard only for those who don’t live in the area. I’ve seen maps like that a million times it was impossible not to spot it.
emm is that the illusion ?
the mediterranean map ? lol
All I see is the Italian Boot…., is there anything ellse I am missing?
nice one
My country on the right!
CYPRUS!!
It’s an American Indian looking downward to the left. Am I the only one who see’s it?
Yes, I see Italy, but I also see a cow. Does anyone else see it? Italy is like a white stripe down its nose. The black part under the boot is the tip of its nose, the northernmost island to the west of Italy is its eye, and the small bay further west is its ear. Am I the only one who sees it?
i guess it is a map but i think that is way to obvius like that is what they want you to think maybe it is something else
i knew right away that it was the Mediterranean, but i thought there was supposed to be something else….
i see italy !!!!!
Portugal is missing!!!!!!!!!
Because it shows only countries bordering the medditerranean it only shows spain portugal is gone highlight the map to see it better. check with other maps and you’ll see.
italy helps
COME ON! WHAT IS IT??
easy for italians… :P
the boot of italy gave it away
RE: Another Mysterious Fleck – moillusions.com
At first it looks like a view of europe, africa, india. then turning sideways it looks like The Grinch, a mouse, and bag of toys – the grinch who stole Chritmas! If this is a true vision it is an animation which is quite clever cute! It is different from head sculpt shown is the category clue.
all i understood was that it was a map, am i missing anything?
I don’t get it. is it just the mediteranean sea and we’re supposed to be geographically challenged?
LOL it looks like Colonial Sanders from KFC is you squint xD
haha, I was reading the description, and my eyes shot down for a split second in which I saw italy xD Otherwise I would never have guessed it :P
hmmmmm… not the most amaising thing ever but still interesting
As the boot is Italy it must be an inverse map.
If you’re from Europe, you’ll recognise this immediately as a map of the Mediterranean Sea. And a pretty poor one too – north coast of Spain is missing, strait of Gibraltar too wide, Greek coast /islands missing – is that because it’s meant to also look like something else?
Pretty obvious is the Mediterranean Sea…
i dunno, i’ve no idea about the answer.. T_T
Well, you are repeating yourself. It’s the same as the second picture in Some Psycological Test Cards
https://www.moillusions.com/2008/12/some-psychological-test-cards.html
Well thats annoying.. I saw Italy within the 1st two seconds, but I figured that was too obvious. What a scrap illusion…
Hm… so what is the solution? As hard as I tried, could only see the Mediterranean sea. Pretty bad map, with some artificial structures. Is that supposed to be a body of someone imposed on a map of Europe? What is it? Didn’t spot it yet :(
This one is about as bad as you have posted here. It’s not intersting at all.
I do believe I’ll be able to see this years from now. If you start to look deeper in to this picture you’ll see two eyes and ………
easiest one yet
i got confused cause i thought it was new Zealand! rofl :P
I saw it immediatly
Too easy, there must be more than meets the eye.
Saw it after reading the description. Saw the boot, and figuered it out from there. i live in N.A., so it mite hav taken me a little longer
Turn the picture 90 degrees to the left and what do you see?
this was dumb =_=;;
Why is this an illusion? It’s obviously the Mediterranean Sea, though the creator got the shape of Cyprus all wrong and thinks that the Peloponnesus is an island.
I don’t see the American Indian… Could you point it out, Jim?
ITS THE FREAKING MEDITERRANEAN MAP!!!!!
I tried looking at it for 30 seconds then looking at the ceiling and I saw a fish next to a whale. But maybe I’m just weird like that…
Am I the only one who sees the cow?!
surely it cant just be the Mediterranean??? i live in Europe and this is a very poor geographical map….. im guessing there is somthing hidden and it is deliberatley like this …… but i cant see it – can anyone else? =$
there is a face on the top right corner
I just see a big fat guy holding onto a triangle figure that looks like it could be a snow mobile or jet ski, something of that sort, leaping across to the right towards the section in which the figure of the boot is located, I don’t see cow or american indian. I’m guess the reason this illusion is so significant is because of all the random things people see when the map is inverted like it is.
what the hell is this?
like… it makes NO sense.
i read the description and thought it would be like the dancers that were shown a couplr of months ago. as soon as i looked at it i saw the ‘big boot’ of italy…..
xD
worst. illusion. ever.
lame.
Some people are missing the point – what has been seen CANNOT be unseen.
I have the same problem looking at the moon – when I was 10 some one helped me see ‘the man in the moon’ because all I could ever see was craters, and now all I can see when I look at the moon is that damned profile. Is there any method to get your brain to ‘reset’ an image like this? I’ve tried everything and can’t get rid of that damn guy.
think outside the box.
yes it looks like part of europe asia and africa, BUT
there is an afterimage of a bird in flight.
I see the coast of the sea and sicily and italy
Its the europe map,easy
i could see it was Europe without you telling me
Actually, its not a map of Europe…
Its a piece of a map for sure, but not Europe.
Its the mediterranean sea.
now i see europe, italy gave it away
If it weren’t for Italy I would never have figured it out.
hey, i live in australia, basically on the other side of europe, so I had no IDEA!!!
i right away knew i should look at the white instead of the black but i couldnt really lol, had to read comments
Its a map I can see Italy
What the hell? I’ve just spent ages trying to work out what the illusion was. The fact that its an outline of the med is so obvious that I thought that there was something else in the image.
I’m really stumped as to why people take time to get it.
It’s a person I think. Lying down sideways. The two white spots are eyes. He’s wearing a strange funny big crown :D the rest is his body and deformed legs. Anyone agree?
And I thought there was something hidden INSIDE the map xD
it’s not a map.. the illusion is the dot
hey!!! i think i see a cow too whoever sed that. lol but i dont no why it is in the after images section lol istared for a minute but coudnt see anything after when i looked at something white. might just be me seeing the cow tho lol
I saw that it was Europe immediately. I just thought there was more to it than that. I was looking for an alternative reality. I hope that everyone notices that Italy looks like a boot kicking Sicily.
Italy gave it away :D
Hey admin guy….what the hell is the image? Some say map…some say cow. What the hell is it?
Can’t figure this one out. Would’ve helped if the OP actually posted the solution and not make us wonder for the rest of our lives. LOL.
its a map of europe
Well I think it’s a witch walking with a baby car in her hand.
You see this if you laying sidewards, so turn 90 degrees to your left and you see it
She is wearing a kind of ‘joker’ hat
LOL IMAGENATION!
STEFANIE
i think you’re on to something….
This picture looks like Captain Hook! The 2nd splotch from the left is Smitty stretching from a cliff holding a bag and stepping into the alligator’s mouth. Captain Hook is on the boat and the last splotch to the right is an indian!
Its a guy doing something very illegal with a dog!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I post an illusion on here
I saw a bat flying after a bug…. apparently not though. HAHA
I see Italy.
i feel im fl y ing into the heaven
OMG! Thank you Stephanie and Christy for the belly laff this a.m. Creative minds @ work! Had been racking my brain, and its A MAP…. Italy is the first thing you see! Was trying to look deeper…
there is a face at the top left corner though
Well i saw something totally dfferent i saw the KFC man.
This is a MAP for those that doesn’t understand it meditterean sea or how ever you spell it :p the italy shoe reminds me :P
UM I STILL SE THE MEDDITERRAINIAN
This is what you call an illusion? Who do I talk to about reclaiming the last thirty seconds of my life?
i can see 2 things. a man blowing out smoke ( the mans on the right)
and euorope (without italy i wouldnt of seen that)
I saw that within like 5 secs.
Its a map of Europe.
Italy gave it away
Guys, It’s not a map or a cow… It’s a moose :D
The boot gave it away, really.
I’m so confused, what is the illusion?
I see the dot, I see the Mediterranean, but what is it?
Focus on white parts. It’s Mediterranean see. You can begin from Turkey on the right side.
its an illusion where you stare at it than close your eyes while facing light or by looking at a white piece of paper. i can still see the image am i wrong a b—d going left f—–g towards a t—
i c london
i c france
i c italy @ a glance
looks like bad santa gettin a blowjob from a midget
EEEEUUUUOOOORRRRPPPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a moose! Or a cupcake… RUBBER PIGGY!
Wait, so you’re supposed to see the mediterrian region? O_O But I saw that the first time I looked at the picture. x.x’
I see it now, but it doesn’t look like europe on the map…is it really europe? I dont know….cause i don’t know what europe looks like really.
This isn’t an optical illusion. It’s just a map of southern Europe which, like others, I spotted immediately. Stupid.
FriDgE this is europe and north africa where you think it is the mediterranean sea??
I see a jester riding a camel if you thurn 90 degrees counterclockwise.
at first i didn’t notice it when i was trying to figure whatever image is in there, but now i can see the DOT.. and the poster is right, i’m not able not to see it anymore.
I saw that right away without looking at the comments i saw italy :D
Something I Saw
Turn The Picture To 90Ëš Degrees Left
What Do You See?
Looks like a ghost….
Ohh, Now I Get It. Spain Is On The Left Side And Italy Is In The Middle. Awesome!!
Oh I see Italy- the boot shaped country
the black is the meditarraean sea
Italy Turkey blah blah its europe!!! -at first i thought it was an really old woman wearing a crown cooking in a big pot-_- taked me 20 min.!!!
Italy Turkey blah blah its europe!!! -at first i thought it was an really old woman wearing a crown cooking in a big pot-_- taked me 20 min.!!!
i saw this 1 year ago or close to it and i still saw it
i dont get this…somebody please explain… :S
Is it something other than europe? cos that’s all i see….
all i see is italy
I can’t see anything! try to click my name, its a cool stuff!
I see a boot…..
It’s exactly Mediterranean in black! I can see at above Italy, Spain, Turkey in white. At the right down corner is a part of Red sea..
Actually for all these people trynna found out what it is , its not anything , unless you look at it for like 30 sec. then look somewhere else . Cuz its a afterimage .
I got this within like 5 seconds. Lol. :b I recognized italy
Too easy.. seriously? I can’t make it out to be anything other than the mediterranean..
looks like europe, you know how i know, because italy looks like a boot
It’s Europe, but what’s the illusion?
I don’t get it..
It’s the Mediterranean sea!!!!!!
Am I meant to be seeing anything other than Italy?
Edd from Ed, Edd & Eddy XD
it is the English channel bottom white is France top white is England’s bottom and the black is the English channel!
what’s the illusion in this ??
took 5 seconds to see its europe… was that the illusion?
Why don’t people simply say what the so call illusion is meant to be.
I might be dumb but what the #$%$%$ is the ILLUSION meant to be!
Its rubbish how so many on this site seem to treat others like idiots with stupid “ILLUSIONS” like this. The idea I thought of this sight is to share illusions, not hide them!
The Mediterranean Sea – simple as that
I saw a whale?
ok… it is one of those “stare at it for 30 seconds, then look away and blink rapidly” images, the actual optical allusion is a man looking down, or at least, that’s what I saw.
It isn’t Europe exactly… it’s the Mediterranean and Black sea. You actually see bits of Europe Asia and Africa. Oh and on the bottom right corner a bit of the red sea
It’s not a map. It’s 2 campers camping marshmallows on a bonfire.
XD wow you are dum!
that’s the Mediteeranea! how did you got to europe?
please give us dummies a solution
Took me few seconds but realized it’s the Mediterranean sea :D
Um… I can still see it… Is it supposed to go away after a day or something? it’s been a few minutes and I can still see it… If you want to know what it is, read on…if you don’t then don’t..
I think it’s a ban holding a bag and I don’t know a whole a other bunch of people trying to get that bag…if you know what I mean…
personaly after staring at the dot and looking at a blank sheet of white paper I seen what looked like a dragon blowing fire….
I see a whale a dolphin and a goat eating a tank lol.
yup, Italy definitely gave it away!
It is not a map of Europe. It is a map of the Mediterranean Sea!
it’s definitely the Mediterranean sea
(water’s black and land’s white)
