In 1536 a map of the world was drawn for the Turkish navy. It was called the Piri Reis Map, and it was put together using several ancient maps that were found in the archives of the Ottoman Empire. What makes this map so remarkable is that it accurately shows parts of the world that had not yet been discovered – including Antarctica, which was completely unknown until 300 years later. That is incredible... but even more amazing is the fact that the map shows the coastline of Antarctica as it looks underneath the ice! How is that possible, since it is only in the last 50 years that modern technology has been able to see what that coastline looks like under the ice.
"The Great Pyramid could not
have been built with primitive tools"
The answer to that question just might be found in the ancient stories that have been passed down to us through the centuries. Most cultures have a founding myth of a pre-existing golden age that was wiped out by a global disaster. In the Bible that myth is the story of Noah and the flood. In ancient Greece it was Plato's writings about the great civilization of Atlantis which was also lost in a catastrophic flood. There are over 400 of these flood/disaster myths in cultures throughout the world. Are they just stories, or do they echo humanity's dimly remembered history of its origins?
The Ice Age ended about 12,000 years ago, and scientists have recently determined that it is highly likely that the earth was hit by giant meteors at that time. This would have made the ice melt very quickly, and sea levels would have risen drastically, thus causing the very floods that so many cultures speak of. The rising seas would also explain the remains of ancient cities that have been found underwater in various places around the world.
