Antarctica And The Discovery Of A 2,000-Year-Old Map

This is interesting ... more details?

*bump*

reply to post by digipulse
Hello digipulse,

There is not a lot more that I can offer at this time. There are tangential findings that I will be detailing in my book—should it ever materialize—which will introduce and analyze a few more ancient maps pertaining to Antarctica.

On a separate note, I do intend on piecing together an in-depth post on Atlantis, but other priorities have recently cropped up, so it may be a bit further out than I initially expected.

Thanks for the bump soficrow.

This was fascinating to read keep up the good work

POSSIBLE NEWS ITEM:

Or just confusion.

So I checked up on the Gamburtsev range and found this little stunner from just a few days ago:

Antarctica Ice Sheet Only 1.4 Million Years Old, Not 34 Million

"Antarctica's ice sheet formed about 32-million years ago but [Tom Jordan of BAS] said that experts now believed the oldest ice was only 1.4-million years old."
LINK

Anyone know anything about this claim? Is it possible that BAS means that the ice in that particular area dates back only 1.4 million years because much of the ice there is thawed and refrozen-ice?

The findings, published in the journal Science, confound a traditional view that ice sheets are almost solely formed by snow that lands on top, gets compressed into ice and flows slowly towards the oceans because of gravity.

'We usually think of ice sheets like cakes - one layer at a time added from the top. This is like someone injected a layer of frosting at the bottom - a really thick layer,' Robin Bell, lead author at Columbia University in New York, said.

The scientists said that about 24 per cent of the ice in an area around Dome A, a 13,800ft high plateau the size of California that forms the top of East Antarctica, was formed by re-frozen ice.

'In some places up to half the ice thickness has been added from below,' they wrote of ice above the invisible Gamburtsev Mountain range.

Jordan's statement, or misstatement, is clearly made in general reference to the entire ice sheet. Unless it was quoted out of context. Journalists don't do that. Do they?

The age of the Antarctic ice sheet has dropped by millions in the past, but this would be a phenomenal drop percentage wise. Are we just one find away from the ice sheets being dated in thousands of years?

UPDATE:

I received a reply from BAS and they have confirmed that they still maintain the 32-million-year timeframe. As I partially suspected, the journalist appears to have made an incorrect assumption and erroneously drew contrasts between the two dates:

"Antarctica's ice sheet formed about 32million years ago but Jordan said that experts NOW believed the oldest ice was only 1.4million years old."

Correct statement should perhaps have been:

Antarctica's ice sheet formed about 32million years ago and Jordan said that experts believed the oldest ice was only 1.4million years old.

To clarify, the oldest dating of the ice via an ice core is 800,000 years. Theoretically, the oldest remaining ice is 1.4 million years based on the current rate of ice flow.

The ice sheet, on the other hand, is believed to have originated 32 mya with more than 30 million years of ice having been shed from the sheet as it flows out beyond the continent and cleaves free.

According to Tom Jordan's response, the 32 million figure has been established by the following:

"Firstly glacial drop stones found far out in the ocean, which can only have been carried by icebergs. These are dated using the micro-fossils found with them.

Secondly there is a change in the isotopic composition of the oceans recorded in fossil shells, indicating lots of water was locked away in an ice sheet.

Thirdly there was a global drop in sea level, related to storage of a large volume of ice on the continents."

This is my first reply and I have just joined ATS. I just wanted to say that this being my first post that I have read, I am very impressed with the quality of work and am looking forward to your future contributions! Very excited to take part in these discussions! Congratulations on a very strong, thorough post my friend!

Oh my God (or any God's for that matter)...this is such an interesting read that I doubt i will be doing much else but read this for the next few days. S&F for all the hard work and effort you put in to make this available to us.

Thanks Doug

NICE FIND!!!

This is my 2nd favorite forum on this site. Very close to my first.

This is probably one of the most well executed and put together threads I've seen on here. I've only read the first 2 pages and I'm already hooked .

Thank you for this. Now, back to reading.

Thanks very much. It is extremely gratifying to find a forum that is highly and positively receptive to these unconventional concepts. I can only hope that my next submission is similarly engaging and received half as well.

Thanks again,
Doug

Eureka,this is why there are abduction events like mine,so glad I found this thread.
Seek high ground,ignore media,take food for 6mth minimum and water for same,google "tsunami shelter crop circle message",these are regular earth changes governments and major religons know of and withhold from us all,I dreamt many of the things I have read on ATS,I have already found many of these things on my own long ago,humanity will not perish just many of us ,some will be saved to reseed earth,there will be pockets around the world in high altitude areas,major governments are all already prepared but most of these facilities will not make it.

Keep this thread rolling,this is the real cheese.

The bible is a history book that has been bastardised,if you reverse extrapolate it you will find all the info you require,take a highlighter and cross out every word that contains an emotional connotation or an opinion,keep only the words that contain no human context therefore no human changes or influences.

Whoever said that crustal displacement causes massive amounts of water to vaporise is a GENIUS.

This is the only way it could rain for forty days and forty nights.


Noahs ark when replicated using measurements and design specifics from the history book we call the bible---is truly a specially designed tsunami proof vessel,or ease up on the tsunami and say water inundation because a forty day constant rain would be slower than a tsunami.

Let any negative emotions go because there will be no one to blame for the lack of information we are suffering from right now.

Prepare ,and keep the faith in humanities ability to survive and remember that we are all connected so it matters not who survives because through them we all survive.

Only place to look that isnt under water would be under snow,if you believe the words of history which had no agenda to make them lie as we have today then you are like me,you know history isnt lieing you also know that we are constantly lied to today,therefore under water or under snow ,one or the other,but definately there.Where is the one place the entire world considers off limits?Yes there is and it is Antarctica.Hint hint.

I just wanted to say thanks for the bump and, on a serious note, thanks also for the positive feedback.

I also wish to thank greeneyedleo for being extremely cordial and supportive throughout the process as the staff performed a necessary review of the content.

Thanks guys,
Doug

Geez man you make some awesome threads! I really liked the the Atlantis thread also.

I'm friending to keep track of your stuff

Thanks howmuch4another,

I would love to hear your take on this one when you are done.

And big time fan of your avatar. (The big BM as of this posting.)

Hello

I found this video of Antarctica Ancient ruins visible from Space.

Ancient ruins are visible from the "space" from an orbit, and they are not publish on google maps.
ancient megalithic city larger than some of the current mega-cities found in the photographs from orbit. complex city with a pyramid and a giant megalithic structure in the shape of a swastika, as well as other buildings in antarctica.

Video here: youtu.be...

If one used foresight they would have tken photos of screenshots of the Google Earth images years ago when they showed everything,now many many things have been covered up,made impossible to discern.I have some interesting shots of NA and there are ruins just under the surface in many many areas of the world,it is situation dependant on geogaphy and circumstance but ruins many different overlapping and intermingled "civilisations" or "Cycles" can be discovered under the water,snow or soil, but the sad realiy is that somehow these images are being made inacessable....when you have photos of screenshots showing ancient cities and structures which have been made impossible to see now on Google Earth it is clear suppression,deniable or not,is being actioned.The reasons for suppression is simple,there are ruins EVERYWHERE and they are in many many cases not difficult to acess,the truth is s they say "just below the surface" and in some cases definately not mile below the surface either.

A lot of people have known about past cultures and technologies and have been harvesting these articles and resources from the past for a VERY VERY long time.

Thank you OP ,everyone has a Global Humanitrian right to see and understand these artifacts.

a reply to: one4all

Can you think of a reason for the supression, other than for the sake of preserving the status quo?

How about this;

Let's assume there once was (at least one) a previous, high technology Human civilisation in the remote and undocumented past, even higher than we are now.

Presumably there would be ruins and relics of such a people, possibly world-wide.

What if these people, perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, wiped their civilisation from the face of the Earth using advanced weapons, possibly nuclear, possibly neutron based, possibly viral or something even worse that we have yet to discover for ourselves.

Wouldn't it be prudent to keep this under wraps from people today?

What could happen if someone discovered a secret cache of technology, that was deadly, not only to those who found it, but to all of us?

I would argue that would be a good reason to keep it quiet, for fear people would actively search for this ancient and deadly technology and use it deliberately or accidentally.

I'd love to know one way or another, but let's face it not everyone would want to find this stuff for the same reasons.
