RedDawn (OP) 12/08/2005 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Piri Reis map was said to be discovered in the 16th century by an ancient map collector. The map even shows Antarctica without ice. Itīs quite a fascinating story. [link to www.nicap.dabsol.co.uk] THE PIRI REIS MAP Piri Reis was a famous Turkish admiral in the sixteenth century who had a passionate interest in his collection of old maps. When the admiralīs flagship tied up in some new port, Piri Reis and his aides scoured the bazaars for ancient charts and maps. During a now-forgotten sea battle, the admiral captured several enemy sailors. One of the captives boasted of sailing with Columbus on his three voyages to the new world. Reis, ever on the lookout for new information and maps, questioned the man, who turned out to be one of Columbusīs pilots. Reis asked if Columbus was mad, or if he knew that there was land across the ocean. The pilot said he knew, that he had maps, and that the pilot still had the maps! The admiralīs eyes scanned the yellowed charts. The tracings on the parchment were precise. Using his collection of antique charts, Admiral Piri Reis compiled a world map in 1513. In 1929, a group of historians, poking around in the harem section of the Palace of Topkapi in Constantinople, found the Piri Reis map in a pile of rubble. These scholars were astonished to discover that the map showed the coastal outlines of South and North America. It also included precise data on the southern polar continent, Antarctica, supposedly not discovered until 1818. Arlington T. Mallerey, an authority on ancient maps, eventually came into possession of these documents. He was puzzled to find that the geographical data on the map was not in the correct position. Assisted by the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Bureau, Mallerey made a grid and transferred the Piri Reis map onto a globe. The map was totally accurate. Later, studies by Professor Charles H. Hapgood and Richard W. Strachan revealed that the originals of the Piri Reis charts may have been aerial pictures snapped at a great height. The rivers, mountain ranges, islands, desserts, and plateaus, were drawn with unusual accuracy. As an example, Greenland was represented as being two separate islands. This was confirmed just recently by a French polar expedition; their seismic soundings beneath the surface indicated ice covers the space between the two islands. In Antarctica, an exploratory profile was made by seismic soundings. It revealed mountains and valleys beneath the ice cap that matched the markings on the Piri Reis map. In the January, 1966, issue of Fate magazine, Professor Charles H. Hapgood explained the sensational discovery. "Now this was extraordinary. In the first place, nobody is supposed to have discovered Antarctica until 1818, three hundred years after Piri Reis, and it is regarded as unthinkable that the Greeks, Romans, Babylonians or Phoenicians could have sailed that far. In the second place, the ice cap in Antarctica is supposed to be millions of years old, and therefore to have been in existence long before man evolved on earth. Mallereyīs suggestion (that someone had mapped the south polar continent before the ice cap originated) appeared outrageous and scientists in general refused to concern themselves with it." It seems incredible that ancient cartographers had maps that were more accurate than the best charts produced today. Yet, Captain Mallerey stated that "it was evident that there was very little ice then, at either pole. But, secondly, they had a record, for example, of every mountain range in Northern Canada and Alaska, including some ranges that the Army Map Service did not have. The U.S. Army has since found them! Just how they were able to do it, we do not know. But, you will probably recall that the Greeks had the legend of an airplane. We donīt know how they could map so accurately without an airplane. But, map it they did. Not only that, but they knew their longitude correctly, something we could not do until two hundred years ago."

AA (OP) 12/08/2005 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The article also says it is only one piece of an entire world map that would have been 340 m x 340 m. As you can imagine im sure there are many war rooms or situation rooms in any given government agency that have large "world" maps so they can post situational data as related to what ever it is they are studied (ie. tactical information for war, weather maps, etc.). Infact the maps used in our naval vessels are also made of glass. Al be it, still 340 m by 340 m is still pretty F***in big. A world map more than a 1/4 of a kilometer big. They have must have been portraying a lot of detailed information on these maps.

AA (OP) 12/08/2005 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Geological structure of the stab was determined: it cosists of three levels. The base is 14 cm chick, made of the firmest dolomite. The second level is probably the most interesting, made of diopside glas. The technology of its treatement is not known to modern science. Actually, the picture is marked on this level. While the third level is 2 mm thick and made of calcium porcelain protecting the map from external impact." The back of it appears to be stone whild the map is actually in glass and then it has a protective porcelien layer. Obviously this map could have been used for anything. The article does say it shows damns and rivers on an immense scale. Perhaps it was used for civil engineering projects.

Think about it, if you were some ancient astronaut and saw that the Earth was populated by a primative culture wouldnīt you want some privacy until they got their act together? If you were advanced enough to put topographic info on a slab of rock AND move it around how much trouble would it be to hide out on or under the moon or Mars? |

TommyboyFury (OP) 12/08/2005 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to the German Review Das Vegetarishe Universum, a Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Tei discovered a series of graves arranged in rows in caves in the Bayan Kara Uula Mountains on the Chinese-Tibet borders in 1938. The cave walls were apparently decorated with figures in round helmets and the Sun, Moon and stars linked together by groups of small dots. In these graves Chi Pu Tei and his assistants discovered 716 stone discs with drawings and indecipherable hieroglyphics which appeared to be thousands of years old. The discs had a hole in the centre (like a gramophone record) from which a double groove traces out a spiral to the circumference. They were not sound tracks but a kind of writing. "When finally freed of all incrustacians the discs were sent to Moscow where it was found that they contained large amounts of cobalt and that they were rhythmically pulsating as though they had electrical charges in them." (33) The graves were also something of a puzzle in their own right as Chi Pu Tei stated that they contained the skeletons of beings with delicate frames and large skulls. An account of the discovery was made known to the world in 1967 by Dr. Zaitsev, an apparent Soviet philologist, in the periodical Sputnik. Dr. Zaitsev described how, after twenty years study, a Chinese scientist called Tsum Um Nui and four colleagues had succeeded in deciphering the mysterious script on the stone discs. According to Zaitsev, the story that emerged was so shattering that its release was banned by the then Peking Academy of PreHistory until 1963.
