There is a hypothesis that in the old days Antarctica was without ice cover. The territory was covered with greenery and vegetation, according to some scientists it could have been about 6 thousand years ago and experts are finding more and more evidence of this version. But can this be true and what about the versions that Antarctica was once a highly developed civilization?
Moreover, some of the 16th century maps can prove this version. Well, how to explain the fact that several centuries ago people could know more about Antarctica than modern scientists? One of the famous cartographers of the century was Hector Mercator.
It is also surprising that in 1541 Hector created the globe of the Earth, and 10 years later he presented a detailed map of the Moon to Charles the Fifth. Isn't it strange that a man in the 16th century could make a detailed map of not only our planet, but also our satellite? But the most interesting, in my opinion, is the atlas, which was published after the death of Hector by his son.
To this day, these maps cause numerous controversies among scientific experts and supporters of a green Antarctica. An interesting version of ufologists who consider the Mercator map to be a picture from space. Could technology have existed four centuries ago that can be compared to modern technology and space images?
From myself, I can add that Hectar Mercator could make his maps based on more ancient maps, which he could find in ancient archives … Moreover, a fragment of another Piri Reis map has been preserved, in which the territory of Antarctica is also covered with a green cover, and not an ice cap … It is also interesting that modern researchers discovered Antarctica only at the beginning of the 19th century. Agree that there is something to think about?
