History is filled with so many unexplained and misunderstood stories, facts and legends. Western academics (so-called) just sweep under the rug what they cannot easily explain or understand. The Piri Reis Map is one of those stories. For example:
"The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica ice free. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how the Piri Reis Antarctica map managed to so accurate 300 years before it was discovered, but that the map shows the real coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC."
