Antarctica is now the coldest place on Earth.

......................There are three intriguing contradictions that challenge the hoary age of the Antarctic ice sheet. They seem bizarre and hard to explain. Two antique maps, that of Piri Reis and Oronteus Finaeus (circa 1500 A.D.), weirdly show Antarctica ice free. But this was a time when Antarctica had not even been discovered! Even more curious, Turkish Admiral Piri Reis’s map, was apparently sourced from the Pharaohs libraries in Alexandria 2000 years ago.

Investigating cartographers from the U.S air force were puzzled. The map portrayed the Antarctic coastline free of the three kilometre deep ice sheets. These buried coastlines were only recently outlined by the British polar expeditions. Even ice sheet buried rivers and mountains were shown. The Oronteus Finnaeus maps were even more comprehensive and show the whole of Antarctica ice free! How could the sailors of antiquity know a coastline now distorted by ice? Is it conceivable that it was ice free when mapped? How could they even have sailed around its vicious katabotic storm driven coast? Is it possible that it was mapped at the time of the Pharaohs a few thousand years ago? These possibilities would require a revision of geology and history!

The second curiosity comes from “the lost squadron” of the second world war. Lockheed Lightnings were abandoned in Greenland in 1942. Fifty one years later, Patrick Epps reclaimed them 250 feet under the ice cap! But this very feat revealed that the layers of ice were not annual, as is presumed by modern science. Each layer was a reflection of ice melt boundaries after each storm.................
