It is a modern fake, and a pretty bad one. The Mayan maps weren't very detailed... here's one:

They didn't show things out in the ocean (they weren't good sailors.)

I would like to impose this map over another map of the whole area during the ice age. I am thinking both 12,900 years ago and 18,000 years ago.


What was exposed was mostly the upper regions of the continental shelf. No continents in the middle of the oceans.

Ultimately I would like to match up these Mayan map points and ice age land masses with temples, cities, and pyramids that have been found under water. Most pointedly I am targeting the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, but the whole area would be much better.


The Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico weren't much affected, as you can see on the Paleomaps site. www.scotese.com... (the yellow lines don't show lands, but rather where land is sinking.)

Paleomap project is a pretty neat site, but you won't be able to match up human maps with it: www.scotese.com...

I didn't know there were verified sunken temples in the Caribbean.

Are you suggesting the Bimini road area and the area off western Cuba?

There don't appear to be any in Mexico:
www.gomr.mms.gov...

(this is a very good site, by the way):
archnet.asu.edu...

There are wells and so forth where Aztecs, Incas, and Mayas all threw human sacrifices but there's no temples down there. There are some in India that I know about, but the temple building era tended to be after the rise of large cities long after the Ice Age ended.

The ones in India are only about 500 feet offshore the current shoreline.
