Quote History Quoted:
Everyone seems to think something was found down there. Antarctica was suppose to be covered in ice for over a million years. Yet there ia a ancient map showing Antarctica's coast line, valley's and rivers. That's impossible considering this maps age and stories of civilizations living on Antarctica dating back thousands of years in ancient times.
It was only up until the invention sonar that we were able to confirm weather this map was real or not. It was and extremely accurate. So the story that there was a mile of ice on Antarctica for over a million years is incorrect.
Hell it was thought that Antarctica was not even discovered until 1772 by James Cook. My point is going by what our scientific community believed and alot still do. It was impossible for anybody to know what the continent of Antarctica to look like because it was under ice.
Yet here is a very accurate map it in a museum dating back 919 along with stories dating back 1000s of years of advance civilizations living on Antarctica. Though the map it's self dates back to around 919 it is thought that the origin of the map dates back much further, 1000s of years from writings that have been discovered mentioning lands across the sea that were described on such a map.
That's the story anyway. Did they find evidence of an ancient civilization in Antarctica who knows. This is what alot people here are asking. That and aliens <img src=http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
There are alot in the scientific community also that say the only way this map could have been created was if it were done from the air, above, that who ever created it had to have flown over the earth. Therefore it must be fake. Yet there it is and every test on it confirms it's age.
Now is the map real, who knows what's real or not anymore. Hell if a UFO were to crash in downtown Atlanta and a thousand people were to see it. The government would snatch it up and say it was an experimental aircraft or whatever. Everone would go on with their life because what difference does it make. Except to the ones that actually saw it. No one will believe them anyways.

What do Piri Reis and 6000 years ago have to do with one another?

The map was made in 1513AD.
It was made from several different maps including one attributed to Columbus. Several maps produced at around the same time are more accurate.
It is topographically wrong in its depiction of Antarctica, largely due to false assumptions that an undiscovered continent, A.Terralis Incognita, lay in this area and was depicted on other maps of the era.
It doesn't show the cape, or the drake passage, it isn't centered on Cairo, none of the Weddell sea islands are shown, the coast of Antarctica is not shown in any fashion that represents reality, either now or in the past. Blame Hapgood, von Daniken and the other quacks, they have tarnished what was a great achievement by the Turks.
Interestingly, did you know that the Piri reis map in its present form is only half of the original.
And there aren't any rediscovered '14,000 year old' cities found off the coast anywhere.
