Atlantis beneath the Ice!

The map you see above, is perhaps one of the most important cartographic legacies we have from our distant past. It is indeed, the Piri Reis Map. Piri Reis was a Turkish Admiral who drew this map in 1513. So, you ask yourself, what can be so important about an old map? Well, the map shows the Northern coast of Antartica, which wasn't even discovered until 300 years later. Not impressed by that eh? Then consider this, the map shows an ice-free Antartica, in a condition that could only have been seen as recently as 4000 BC.

What implications does this have? Well it does raise the following questions:

• Did an ancient mariner race map an ice-free Antartica?
• Did priceless fragments of ancient maps and copies of them exchange hands for thousands of years?
• If so, what were the originals likes?
• Were continents such as Antartica and the Americas frequently travelled to in ancient times?
• Could an ice-free Antartica have been the fabled Atlantis? (bearing the theories of Charles Hapgood in mind!)
  

These are questions that have never been addressed by people of note. Because, people of note are afraid to stick their noses out (in case they get them cut off). In future posts I'll get into some of the finer lies that historians continue to perpetrate. What do you think happens when an archaeologist presents evidence that threatens to overturn everything we believe about history. I'll tell you! It gets buried and they get discredited and vilified by the establishment. Career over effectively. I promise to give you some classic examples in the near future. These ones are just for fun however: Archeological Anomalies!
