Unexplained map. Modern man has never seen the continent of Antarctica when it wasn't covered with hundreds of feet of ice & snow, obscuring all the land features including the coastline. Yet, a map drawn in 1532 shows a very accurate mapping of Antarctica derived from an earlier unknown source... since in 1532 Antarctica was completely covered with ice and snow for thousands of years prior.
Just another mystery where history is not what we thought or were taught.
There's conjectures and theories, plenty to go around, but no scientific proof about the map or its original origins. Just a map that as to history as we know it shouldn't exist... yet, it does exist... unexplained. Certainly much more to history than we know. Science deals with facts and absolutes and offered no explanation. Theories in part, give at least a possible explanation as to how an detailed accurate map could exist, that's origins would have to date back thousands of years before modern man had even discovered Antarctica, a detailed map of mountains, valleys, and rivers long before it being covered in ice & snow. Was an ancient civilization on Antarctica 12,000 years ago, or possibly earlier, before it was consumed by ice & snow? Or something else, a technology advanced race that created such a detailed map. Just because there's no scientific proof, doesn't means there's no evidence of something beyond our history. Some day, no doubt beyond my lifetime, perhaps the answers will be revealed. Answers to this and many other unsolved mysteries.
