@BarryCarter the only assumption I made it that Suez Canal doesn't split Afro-Eurasia, other things comply definition of "diameter" of random shape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter#Generalizations

Regarding [Afro-Eurasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Eurasia) as single continent, I tried to draw longest geodesic line within it and got

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/ZW2bC.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/ZW2bC.png)

which is 16628 km (10 332 miles) length.

Looks like this line is rather stable and lasts from [Navarin cape](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD_(%D0%BC%D1%8B%D1%81)) in Russia to Quoin point in SAR.

Is this known feature is this really longest and what is it's name?
