The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed.

Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC."

The map also suggests that South America is connected to Antarctica. Not to mention that it's actually not a very accurate representation of the Antarctic coastline.

See, that just proves that global warming doesn't exist! It's obviously all a fabrication by these so-called "scientists" who are obviously all payed off by Osama--oops, I mean Obama.

Take the stupid green-colored glasses off, and witness the Truth!....What?

I saw this on another site...I reckon the map was a fake...there was also another one floating around supposedly from Peri Reis that showed an aerial view of the world...determined a fake as no aircraft existed then.

Installing is Easy!
