How do we know that YOUR conclusions are not based on "shoddy scholarship?"
It is time for YOU to provide some reference links to back up your highly questionable conclusions

I was looking into the Tzolkin, ya know the myan calender, and I ended up reading some pretty interesting stuff.
The books all went back to library so I can't look up what I don't remember, so fill in the blanks if you want. I'm kinda lazy to search online for the info, but im sure its on wikipedia or something.
1.) apparently a famous cartographer uncovered some pretty old compilation maps which depicted the outline of antarctica without ice, as it would have appeared thousands of years before the "birth of civilization" in the fertile crescent.
2)There is a theory which was endorsed by Einstein that goes something like the earth's axis wobbles slowly (the precession of the equinoxes is due to this), this builds up torque due to the imbalance of weight at the poles, eventually this torque reaches a tipping point, when the right conditions occur in the solar magnetic field (which are pretty regular, same as the precession of the equinoxes) and the entire lithosphere of the earth slips around like in one big chunk.
3) Pretty much any old religion deals with the precession of the equinoxes. The Mayan Tzolkin, the number of warriors in certian Norse poems, Egyptian, etc. The numbers 26000, and multiples thereof, appear everywhere when you start looking into it. These numbers are always associated with the end of worlds, beginnings of worlds, mythical gods showing up to teach humanity, etc.
So.....you can probably see where this leads. There probably was an Atlantis, on Antarctica, or under the oceans, or hell anywhere really. This kind of pole-shift would unimaginable-all of the ice melting from what where previously the poles, floods, droughts, the stars in the sky would change, the sun would go in a different direction in the sky, earthquakes, volcanoes, apocalypse basically. the few survivors probably knew what was going to happen and prepared while the rest of humanity ignored the warning and died. They then went on to build pyramids, instruct the Maya on the Tzolkin, etc. Thats where all the flood myths come from, prevalent in religion.
So.....to all of you people who talk about aliens and mystic experiences in which you are told pterodactyls flew around with humans and all this mumbo jumbo....maybe you shouldn't tell anyone about it. I have a very open mind, but you sound insane. as long as people go on like that the entire.....i dont know "field" of enquiry into the past........is degraded and looked on as utter bullcrap.
I suppose you are talking about the Piri Reis map.

Saying that some theory was endorsed by Einstein or any other popular scientist is a good way of showing that this is probably just an urban legend.

I don't remember the number 26000, could you point me to one of those references?

Atlantis appeared on Plato's writings, there aren't references before that that I know.

I can not see how a magnetic pole shift would make floods, earthquakes, etc., and I do not have any idea of what a geographic pole shift would do.

We know who built the pyramids, there are many records of it, not only for the famous pyramids but also for those that preceded them and are usually ignore by the people who think that the pyramids were not a relatively common thing at the time in those places.
They then went on to build pyramids, instruct the Maya on the Tzolkin, etc. Thats where all the flood myths come from, prevalent in religion.
Well, it shows that a very open mind can be open to what its owner wants. In this case I agree with rikriley, what you say sounds as silly as what other people have been saying when read with a different mindset.
