Knowledge and maps of an ice free Antarctica
And thereby you fail. There is nothing of the sort. But we do know Antarctic has been ice covered for millions of years, though ice extent is less
now that it was a few thousand years ago.
Science v Fiction. Your choice
Antarctica was officially discovered in the 1800's. It was not until the advent of sonar and ground penetrating radar that academia knew what the
land underneath the Antarctic ice looks like. Am I correct so far?
Are you able to debunk the following maps?
• Piri Reis Map
• Oronteus Finaeus Map
• Mercator Projection Map
• Philippe Buache Map
• Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Map
Two very nice threads about those maps:
On the Origins of Unexplained Maps
Antarctica And The Discovery Of A 2,000-Year-Old Map
How is it these maps were made before the 1820 discovery of Antarctica? How do these maps contain such detail about Antarctica before any official
exploration of the continent began? How do these maps contain such pre-glacial features before the invention of planes, satellites, sonar, or
ground-penetrating radar?
I would appreciate if you can debunk each and every map to illustrate how I have "failed" and am relying on "fiction."
