The “after skool” YouTube page has some fun videos on a bunch of these theories, I watched one last night on this specific topic.

Clearly humanity knew about the americas way before even then. How was there such a vast population?

I don’t think it’s could as much as it actually does. There’s no way in hell they would map a landmass so accurately in the location it really lies if they had no idea about its existence

Holy crap! A map made after 1492 shows America? This is insane!

Read Charles Hapgood books like Maps Of Ancient Sea Kings wherein Professor Hapgood and his students deciphered Piri Reis map. Map from 1513 has been scientifically dated and acknowledged to probably be compiled from older maps possibly made before Columbus voyages to New World. Ground penetrating radar scientifically acknowledges mountains now buried under deep ice to be accurately depicted on Piri Reis map. US Naval astronomers studied what Hapgood posited about map; concluded Hapgood was accurate. Finally Albert Einstein found Hapgood theory and findings compelling and suggested we should proceed to study further.

It’s not Antarctica….. It’s tierra del fuego or other parts of south America. To know that you literally just need to read the map….
Piri Reis, like most historical map makers, mostly used older maps and reports by others to construct his maps.
And he was pretty good at taking notes and writing down where he got the info from.
For the landmass wrongly identified as Antarctica he notes that, that there are large snakes there, which is why the Portuguese did not land there.
This indicates that he based this part of the map on the reports of Portuguese sailors and what we are looking at here is not Antarctica.
Aside of the fact that if it were, we would be missing the whole souther tip of south America. The coastline also does not add up and so on and so on.
This map simply does mit show Antarctica and does not even claim so, as the info is supposed to come from Portuguese sailors, not from some ancient knowledge.

Leif Erikson, son of Erik the Red, sailed around 1000 A.D. to a place he called “Vinland” in what is now the Canadian province of Newfoundland and eventually landed in North America.
It’s been known about for quite a long time, much longer than they would have us believe. For what reason?
As if I even have to say, Christopher Columbus is a fraud.

Actually the Ramayana, Kishkinda kanda, Sarga 40, verses 40 onwards describes the ice age geography of that time from central india, Myanmar, Indonesia, Australia etc. and further instructions of how to traverse the terrible seas(talking about the ring of fire in the Pacific Ocean moving onto the descriptions of South America, the tribes that live there and surprisingly describes even the Paracas candelebra. And the craziest part is it describes what’s possibly Antarctica since during the ice age SA and Antarctica was connected and description of in Sanskrit goes like if one goes to the south side of that landmass one will see the aurora shining bright red, beyond that part is a place that connects the higher and lower realms, that region is inhabitable and it is dark most of the times due to the sun’s rays not reaching the region etc.

The weird thing is there is a creature reminding Plesiadapis and other animals on Antarctica. And the weirder thing is Plesiadapis went extinct 60 million years ago. And you can see that on the map South America and Antarctica are not split. Which suggests that the map is made with info regarding 140 million years back.

Yep, it was a map that was 20+ years after the so called discovery of the new world and was compiled from older maps. There is no Antarctica on the Reis map though. That is South America. The Antarctica claim has been made many times and it doesn’t pan out. That’s basically Argentina you’re looking at.

Piri Reis map contains knowledge held by the Spanish Moors, and other Africans, who had been trading with the Americas for centuries.
