In 1998 the entire east coast of Austrialia was put on alert as reports of a massive earthquake in Antarctica that had dislodged a huge piece of ice
from Antarctica's ice crust. Apparently causing a huge tsunami bound for Australia.
The tsunami never came. Though what is realy baffeling is that fact that there are no fault lines close enough to Antarctica to cause an earthquake
that could break off ice from its crust.
What might have caused this quake if not fault lines?
Another strange thing is the fact that in 1947 a US officer named Admiral Byrd led an expedition force of 10,000 men to Antarctica the force spent
only 3 months there and when the came back they had sustained heavy casualties.
Some leading conspiricy theorist belive that the losses sustained by Bryd's men may have been at the hands of an ancient and advanced civilisation.
dwelling far under the ice.
Antarctica is also governed by a treaty, signed by various powerful nations that prevents any development or exploration of its vast natrual
resourses. Why would this be? it has been suggested that the real purpose of the treaty is to prevent any commercial organisation stubbling across the
secrets that reside under Antarctia's 2 mile thick ice crust.
In Constantinople in 1513 a map was found that clearly showed the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa but also a an ice
free country names "Queen Maud Land". Antarctica was only discovered in 1818 and the acuracy of the map was not reaveadled until the 50's when
radar technology was able to see under the ice of Antarctica and see a country identical to "Queen Maud Land".
Other charts and maps of similar nature have been found giving rise to the belife that Antarctica could have been home to a civilisation known as
Atlantis. Buried under ice and not sea.
What do you think about "Queen Maud Land" and the heavy losses sustained by Byrd's US soldiers?
Please dont get anoyed if a topic like this has already been started i'm new and i didnt realy know where to put this thread.
