Mysterious Antarctica

Antarctica is the planets' southern most point. This 5.4 million square mile continent holds 90% of the world's ice and traps about 70% of the fresh water. It is the world's fifth largest continent, and is the largest desert. The landmass is locked underneath a mile+ of solid ice! It recently came under the radar of the world's elite when a chunk the size of California melted off and partially froze again. This is one of the topics that pro-warmers are interested in. If all the ice from the giant continent were to melt off, the waters of the Earth would raise 200 feet!

However, there could be a bonus in that very statement. Who knows what could be laying under the mile long ice shaft covering this continent? A frozen dinosaur specimen? In tact perfectly preserved ancient civilizations not unlike those of ancient Ptolemy?

Less conventional theories report that Antarctica is the way into the center of the Earth where our Ancient Alien creators now live. A huge alien base under the ice where human leaders and aliens have been conspiring and controlling. And most recently the World's attempt to stop any and all interest in Antarctica by only allowing select groups of people in to take climatological readings and 'attempted drilling.' What's going on in Antarctica and what is the elite's interest in keeping people away from the mystery?

If Antarctica is the source of Atlantis then most if not all of those questions will be answered. However, there have been little to no interest in Antarctica from the mainstream archaeologists. Why? The scientific community states that there is little interest in Antarctica because there is no mention of it in ancient texts. The land itself has no reason for excavation. No resources except ice.

However, a map just recently discovered made in 1513 by Turkish admiral Piri Reis showed that the ancients had some knowledge of the landmass. Apparently the first maps depicting Antarctica showed some startling images of animals and people living on the apparent ice-less continent.

If Antarctica was indeed ice-less as purposed by Reis' world map, then what caused the land to become frozen? This discovery has been suppressed by the scientific community because they are afraid of anything that is outside the mainstream line of thought. Could this be a protective ice shield? Whatever is underneath the ice could be something much more sinister, thousands of years in the making!

Well, this map is pretty far from a recent discovery, but still intriguing nonetheless. I heard about it a few years back, probably on the discovery channel, and thought it was pretty cool.

The only logical explanation I could come up with is that back in the 1500's Antarctica was not at the pole, but rather somewhere closer to the equator. I don't really have any evidence to back up this claim as it's just my hypothesis.

It was first studied in 1966 so I guess whatever your frame of recent is. I'd say its pretty recent from an archaeological stand-point.

Always like to see an Antarctica thread, but the Piri Reis map is pretty much accepted as having the east coast of South America bent around the bottom, rather than depicting the Antarctic land mass.

Ok but, how did they draw it? It was sooo advanced looking, almost like a computer did it!

I think your on the right track that something could be buried under there lost from time. But im not sure about aliens meeting there with head officials, you would think they have a better kick it spot then that place but who really knows. Iv'e thought over this many times for you what you could do to find the answers to your questions and threw pointless trial and error i came to the conclusion that you must go there and find out for yourself.. or just sit around and wait for something to happen like the rest of the world.
Have a good one and good luck !

You know, you deserve a star just for your avatar alone. Very thought provoking.
A second just to be proper. As for Antarctica, it is, and has been, my belief that the polar regions of this world are time capsules that hold a knowledge and truth that some conventional historians, as well as the government, will hide to protect us from truths.

What if we're not indigenous to this planet? What if it's known that during the dark times. . .a never mind. You get the idea.

I'm interested in seeing where their thread goes.

Time to go research! I'll return with my findings.

Actually that's something I want to do! After I build this company I'm working on, I'll use the money I get to build an expedition team that will search all over the world, for the truth! My company has some type of fringe science/new agey stuff going on, on the back burner so, ya never know!

i agree with that sentiment.

I took a few Geology classes in college and I'm pretty sure it takes a little longer than 500 years for continents to move that far.

Live young and prosper.
I hope the best for that and you actually follow what you want to do. People always have dreams in America but for some reason people dont stick with them for that long.. Good luck!

Some of the ancient maps I have seen (the deemed authentic) are quite fascinating, either they are 10 to 15000 years old, (or based on maps that old) or the ice has retreated at an earlier time than thought.
There are too many ancient maps that depict some of the coast line and some interior lakes and rivers to be all mistaken identity of a differ coast line.
I haven’t seen anything that states that the scientific community agrees on the actual age of the ice. Thus Antarctica could have been ice fee or partially free not all that long ago. The coast line maybe 5000 years ago. Perhaps Antarctica’s coast thaws and freezes more often than thought.
If an ancient civilization mapped the world including an ice free Antarctica than maps would be one of the items to be saved as they were useful and treasured.

Thanx for the input Paul47, isn't that odd, that people don't seem to care how old the ice is. Then maybe if we did some testing we can get some of these mysteries solved!

Man would I ever like to do something like that, a friend of mine and I have talked at length about doing the same thing, (win the lotto type thing). if I could figure out a way to make any kind of living doing this (I have kids) I would jump on it. Good luck let us know what you find.

Likely wont be for a couple of years as I try to get my first business established. But you will definitely hear about it from the mainstream media if I do!

Antarctica is an interesting thing.

One of my favorite theories, (i'm sure a simple search will reveal) is John Leers'. That Antarctica is the starting point for all of the anti-grav ships taking off to the moon, for mining of H3...or something.
He said in one of his interviews, that one could check all the shipping manifestos to Antarctica, showing that hundreds of thousands of tonnes of steel and equipment were being delivered there,every year. haha.

I never did look, as I just believe that it is a big desert, covered in ice. That would seem most logical for the south pole of planet earth. It would be cool if there were some well preserved things in the ice. But also uncool, is the concept of releasing new toxins and other biological organisms, that we would have no immunity to.

Fair enough. It was thinking about it's date of discovery over 80 years ago which didn't seem too recent to me. I guess when I hear 'recent discovery' I just immediately assume it happened, well, recently. Just me being ignorant.

Haha, thanks. It's a work from a street artist named Banksy. It's one of my favorites, but all of his works are great and make you think a bit. You should check him out.

I didn't say the continent moved, I just said it would've had to have been closer to the equator. There's more than one way for a continent to change position.

Also, just because this map was created in the 1500's doesn't mean the information was gathered in the 1500's. This information could easily have been gathered and passed down for thousands of years, which is probably the case since there aren't more maps like this one.

ETA: I guess I did say that 'back in the 1500's Antarctica was not at the pole', so you are correct about the 500 year thing, so sorry for that. My points still hold valid though.

OP, your thread is about the Piri Reis map and the possibility that it shows Antartica. This is, at best, a very tenuous interpretation. Yet you have not given any links why you feel that it could be Antartica, when most scientists feel that it is the coastline ilof Sourh America.

You further muddle your thread with the following, quite unbelievable quote:

"Less conventional theories report that Antarctica is the way into the center of the Earth where our Ancient Alien creators now live. A huge alien base under the ice where human leaders and aliens have been conspiring and controlling."

Again, no citations.

Which leads me to believe that your post is directly aimed at making it appear that both of the above items should be taken at face value by the average reader. Why? Are you simply trying to stick an idea in the casual readers mind?

The way I write, I allow others to do their own research and come up with their own conclusions then they can dispute mine or not, I posted this here because I wanted to know ppls opinions and what they thought Antarctica could be.
