The Piri Reis map is not the most accurate map of the sixteenth century, as has been claimed, there being many, many world maps produced in the remaining eighty-seven years of that century that far surpass it in accuracy. The Ribero maps of the 1520s and 1530s, the Ortelius map of 1570, and the Wright-Molyneux map of 1599 (‘the best map of the sixteenth century’) are only a few better-known examples
The area representing North America bears almost no resemblance to its real coastline
There are two major discrepancies from known coastlines: the North American coast mentioned above, and the southern portion of the South American coast. On the Piri Reis map the latter is shown bending off sharply to the east starting around present-day Rio de Janeiro

I've seen on other sites that Hitler had a time traveling machine, and the U.S. got it from him, but then buried it in one of the poles... north, or south... can't remember. But probably the Anarctic. They are said to have guards there around the clock. They pose as people studying the melting ice burg, but that's just a cover.
They don't want the time traveling machine to fall into the wrong hands.
Maybe that had something to do with WWII.

It seems there are a lot of skeptics here. Now I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but it seems alot of threads ive been to lately, seem to go off topic,

or for whatever reason is "proven" to be wrong.
Ive realised its alot easier to be a skeptic than to have an open mind.
But really, the available info about this incident, doesn't in the least bit, seem suspicious?

Wow, a time travel machine and he still couldn't win the war.
Maybe he shoulda' gone back and killed his own grandfather!
The Greatest Geographical Discovery in Human History
"That enchanted Continent in the Sky, Land of Everlasting Mystery! "
"I'd like to see that land beyond the (North) Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the Center of the Great Unknown:"
- Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
Operation Highjump (OpHjp), officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946-1947, was a United States Navy operation organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr., USN (Ret), Officer in Charge, Task Force 68, and led by Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, Commanding Officer, Task Force 68. Operation Highjump commenced 26 August 1946 and ended in late February 1947. Task Force 68 included 4,700 men, 13 ships, and multiple aircraft. The primary mission of Operation Highjump was to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV.[1][2]
Highjump’s objectives, according to the U.S. Navy report of the operation, were:[citation needed]
1.training personnel and testing equipment in frigid conditions;
2.consolidating and extending United States sovereignty over the largest practicable area of the Antarctic continent (This was publicly denied as a goal even before the expedition ended);
3.determining the feasibility of establishing, maintaining and utilizing bases in the Antarctic and investigating possible base sites;
4.developing techniques for establishing, maintaining and utilizing air bases on ice, with particular attention to later applicability of such techniques to operations in interior Greenland, where conditions are comparable to those in the Antarctic;
5.amplifying existing stores of knowledge of hydrographic, geographic, geological, meteorological and electromagnetic propagation conditions in the area;
6.supplementary objectives of the Nanook expedition. (The Nanook operation was a smaller equivalent conducted off eastern Greenland.)[3]

How do we know for sure that your "history books" didn't lie about all this to cover it up?
