One trend that irks me with contemporary history education is the general distain and contempt in which people today will hold those in the past. I guess people like to feel superior, but I'm like: yeah, genius, people back then didn't have iPhones invented by geniuses that you use to look stuff up. They were going off of what they did know, and they displayed immense intelligence as they worked it out. And more bravery. You have everything and think yourself so superior to your own ancestors who made you possible. The Greek and medieval thinkers were actually brilliant. Love all these cool maps from down through the ages!

Back when the world felt larger than it is and full of mysteries and wonders

Fascinating stuff.. High quality productions like this make You Tube really worthwhile. Love your work, guys.

Man I wish I was loaded with $$$ that way I could form my own modern day private voyage to see what’s really over the iceberg wall.

There were at least 4 explorers I came across a few years ago, that attempted to circumnavigate the perimeter icewall known as Antarctica. Much earlier than the official date you gave in the introduction.. I remember at least one of them was looking for a passage through. Look at Gleason's World Map 1892, and the details along the perimeter icewall, complete with geographic location names. These people were very knowledgeable and detailed. I trust them far more than what we are told today.

Hi , I'm an indigenous Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander of Australia and we have some cave paintings of when the Dutch Explorer came also they have found items they left behind

I think it's crazy that for the longest time, sailors barely made any progress around Africa, when Hanno the navigator went further in the BC times.

An excellent video on the history of cartography and how discoveries altered peoples conception of the world. What I think is interesting is how scholars of the ancient world, who only knew the Mediterranean, conceptualized views of the entire world which were rather accurate.

Excellent research! Thank you!

Wow.. what a great map piece of collection you got there.

It would seriously be messed up when you really find out you live in another place.

I am fascinated with old maps. But know nothing about it! I love thst I get a history lesson AND want to get an old map! I have a 1988 globe. And am fascinated that the world had changed so much! Ty so much!

Again an interesting video about how 'the old world' discovered the rest of our little blue marble, and mapped it. Of course one of the early groups to discover Australia were the Aboriginals, but they never send someone back with a message they moved to another address. In fact we moved out off Africa without telling the other where we would go, only 100.000 years later we got in touch again. Hardly recognizing our own family. What is striking is that many areas were already known by sailors and in legends before they were 'officially' discovered and mapped. People traveled by accident or on purpose further than planned and talked to the locals to get even more information about what lies behind the horizon. Which makes journeys into the vast unknown even more remarkable. Thanks!

Very informative!

There’s probably lands outside the wall beyond the Antarctica treaty keeping explorer’s away from discovering other ponds like the one we live in

I just found this brilliant channel via shorts!

I’ve yet to see any proof that we live on a spinning globe hurtling through space at 500 thousand miles per hour

Thanks RareMaps.com for supporting my video! Their maps and descriptions are a huge part of the research and visuals that go in these videos. You can purchase your own Terra Australis map from their website. - RareMaps.com/

Very informative, respect 🤔

I heard of a map called the planisphere 1587 I was wondering if you have any explanation of it

This is an awesome video

Its funny how they portrait Africa so small when shes the biggest. You can fit all the other continents in the north nd still have a whole continental space

4:57; I would like to understand the ancients’ thoughts on what they considered “rational life” and, “irrational life”

Amazing! Interesting, and well Articulated! Thanks :)

Interesting video. Thank you for posting it.

Back around 2006, I found old maps of the different "ages" and how the geography has changed. I've looked and looked but can't find it again.

A nother great video... Fascinating to watch every time... Question : Tartaria... What do you know about it...? Love to see you make a video about that...

The first map was a flat earth map, it has the North Pole on it, with the ice wall around it

what if: The sun revolves around the "north pole", Antartica is the equator, and we never been to the southern hemisphere.

Fun fact about the distribution of land mass on our planet: Some people divide the Earth into "land" and "water" hemispheres, with one side the majority water and the other land. The line between the those halves are not aligned with the celestial latitude and longitude meridians we use for navigation. Also check out the concept of the "world ocean" coined by oceanographer Yuly Shokalsky.

Great video

Now I know where the world of One Piece was inspired from.

Another great video. I always learn something new!

Ct Cook sailed over 60,000 miles around Antarctica, Antarctica is not a Continent at the bottom of a Globe. It theice edge that contains our Oceans. 😉

Youre so close to figuring it out. Youre so close. All the old maps looked like this. Guess why. Same reason us military guards anarctica. Keep going.

There is islands around Antarctica that have ancient megalithic structures but Google covers it

So interesting I've subscribed

If you look at the area between Antarctica and south America and to the east it certainly appears they have been connected and likely violently separated by moving water. If you have ever seen a small scale version of this sort of disaster it's pretty much identical. Although how and why that much water moving with the force necessary to do that once existed is a head scratcher.

Cool map, its even more interesting once you know the earth is a stationary plane, set under a dome. Captain james cook circumnavigated Antarctica and clocked 60,000 plus miles and it took between 3-4 years. I dont expect you to take me seriously, i wouldnt investigate this topic at all. If you take the U.N. flag and wrap this antarctica around it, it would be interesting. Nice job finding it. Putting the earth shape aside, i find the maps that have california an island very interesting. And the ones with the 4 islands at the north pole. Also when eratostanes called his buddy i cayenne (spelling?) He assumed all light was coming in parallel from far far away. But this experiment can be done with the same results with a sun 32 miles across and 3000 miles away ish. Neil Tyson admits this as well

As Above so Below. Don't forget about the lands shown on those maps in the North Pole area known as a Hyperborea.

Great stuff, but I am more interested about ancient maps of sahara with big rivers, that not exist now. This is more ancient that we can guess...

Wow what a selection of cool story bro

That's is Grandline, it's divide to 4 ocean, north blue, south blue, east blue and west blue.

There's a lot of hidden secrets man what a great search 👍🙏

This is so cool

We don’t live on a GLOBE sheeple

And those 4 islands in the north pole with the mountain in the center?

The Antarctica region encircled the entire world, which is why the Southern regions looked so massive.

Thank you for teaching me something that my own country's education curriculum doesn't. P.s. I'm from Austraila

I dunno if this is going to get absolutely hated on but hey you don’t have to read it or agree I think it’s interesting that the Christian author put forward the idea that the earth “might” be round. Especially since early Christians we’re from the Roman Empire which we have been told had essentially totally accepted the idea of a spherical earth. This is interesting for another reason, to me because in my history class and in general by academics it is being heavily pushed that ancient societies knew the world was spherical and that it’s a falsehood that they believed in a flat earth. Idk why this is being pushed when it’s so obviously not true. Their are plenty of examples of ancient cultures/societies believed in a flat earth, sometimes it was carried on a turtle back, or held up out of the water by giant pillars of earth that the continents were held up by, and theirs plenty of examples of a belief that their is a dome covering over top of the earth. So I feel like their is a big push to rewrite the history of mankind. It’s actually quite devious as any time that education is built upon lies, you end up in a situation where you cannot be sure what is or isn’t truth. I hope this practice can one day be ended as well as this idea that current science is absolute truth, which is a bold faced lie. We have all seen the different versions of science text books and what was considered “fact” 20 years ago or as little as a year ago, has been over turned by new information. The best examples I can think of are the “evidence” for evolution. Like the concept that even human fetus grow a reptilian tale which indicate the traces of past evolutionary forms. Or one of the missing links that was based off of a single tooth found in America, which later turned out to be a pigs tooth. The best example is the “skeletal” evidence found I believe in Asia somewhere, where their was a skull that was a hybrid between a human and chimp I believe or some other primate, which turned out to be proved a hoax and was forged by the head archeologist, who “discovered” it. Theirs even more evidence for “evolution” that has been proven to be incorrect or a forgery. This alone proves you cannot count on “science” as being 100% fact and that academics while certainly intelligent and have brought true innovations to our lives, cannot be held up as beyond reproach and deceit. Anyways sorry for the rant.

The explanation is completely obvious, isn't it? Antarctica clearly was discovered much earlier. There are many maps showing the continent. One even shows it without ice, accurately.

How could I have have never known of this "equal southern land mass" theory? As Spock would say "fascinating."

It wasn't until 1434 that someone from Europe asked if Africa kept going south??? Did they just think there was a giant cliff at some point? Did they not just ask their southern neighbor to ask their southern neighbor if THEY had southern neighbors??!!

I think that these ancient scholars had to be aware that in Nature there's always a Balance that has to be kept, and that includes the Earth and it's Solar balance being kept upright , so that meant that they're had to be another continent in order to keep it's balance and not tip over... This stuff is so amazing and I wish that those same scholars could have known what we know today about our world and the Cosmos...

super rare nowadays to come across a legit video like yours. everything’s infiltrated by mainstream bs

I honestly do believe that there definitely is much more land masses than schools have taught us whatever is there ancient and advanced civilizations that they don’t want us to know about

The thinking that there must be other in the southern zone is comical today but imagine not knowing. It's amazing how far we've come.

Very cool, I'm very interested in rare antique maps out of my curiosity for the accuracy of most maps. There are some maps that show land beyond the poles and those are the ones that really intrigue me and get my imagination flow and flow I wish that the governments of this planet would be honest about it. Honest about what Admiral Byrd experienced when he flew to the south pole. And the book by another author about a trip by boat to the land beyond the poles. The navigator who crossed the ice wall(s). His experience is so in detail and the things he described are so far ahead of any fiction story for that time period. This is a book that was written I believe after the revolution??? I'm not positive on that. But there have been quite a few books written about the land beyond both poles. These stories are spaced apart by several centuries written by people in different countries and back then it would have been difficult for any of them to get a copy of any of the previously written books on this topic.

Just found this channel, and I think I'll be staying

What about the Piri Reis map, that lines up exactly with what Antarctica would have looked like during the Ice Age?

I love your channel man!

All the old maps drew as flat earth concept .

so Terra Australis was still believed to be there until the late 1700s and like 50 years later Antarctica was discovered? that's not even a full lifetime, i bet some old people in 1820 were like "Ha i knew it!!"

What if this hidden land is we're all the UFOs are comming from?

What is the name of the first map you bought?

Ortelius... I think he was a character in a book I was reading. A Flemish cartographer too. Must have been referring to him.

antartica was known for atleast 1000 years, only in america was antarica discovered in 1800

Captain cook, navigated the whole ice wall estimate at 60,000 mile circle took him three years🫡💪🏼🤔🫵🏼🌎🖖🏻

2:22 How can you measure the shadow of the sun the same day at the same time? Youd need modern comminication devices to do that. How did Eratosthenes do it back then? Smoke signals?

Makes sense on the flat earth model.

Europe is so close to Antarica people knew about it WAY BEFORE 18anything. Before we started keeping track of years we knew about Antartica

How else can you get 4 corners of earth on a globe?

Excellent Gracias

I would be curious to know why they draw those lines all over old maps. Like star burst patterns.

Antarctica is the world's shoreline

I love how the mix of comments on here can be basically divided into "actual wonder at discoveries and geography" and "batshit insane rambling about the Ancient Ones and fake NASA"

The world beyond the ice wall

It looks to me that the large southern landmass was an artist's interpretation of second-hand information he was going by. It's a gross over-exaggeration of Antarctica.

The earth is flat. Period

Aristotle 😂😂😂 . Just stop. He was wrong about nearly everything he proclaimed.

It's the ice wall...on our flat realm.

Antarctica has never been successfully circumnavigated

The world HAS tipped over... several many times.

Were there theories or folklore describing the inhabitants of Terra Australis?

There's an even older map from the 1400s that not only shows Antarctica but shows it WITHOUT ice. Not only that but now that we know what it looks like without ice because of our satellites, the depiction on that old map from the 1400s shows it without ice EXACTLY as our satellites show it.

A good job 🤓!!!

Legend says there's a mining base in the southern lands

So that's where the inspiration for One Piece's Grand Line came from... I always found the geography of One Piece fascinating.

Oh yessssss I love bendy upside down Oceans 😂🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴🤣🥴

Take a good look at the moon the dark areas are land masses and the light areas are the oceans. The moon is a mirror image of the earth, you will also see Terra vista there to. The moon is not a solid mass that can be landed upon like NASA what like you to believe but is composed from plasma. to truly understand what i am talking about, go KZfaq and search Vibes of Cosmos and watch one of their videos.

Please explain to me what gravitational force and its origin that would make the Earth tip over.

I don’t believe we know everything on our marble

meanwhile me and other citizen living near equator line : we're a joke to you?

it is hard for something without a top or bottom to tip 'over'?

I got some good pics of the wall...

isn't australia on the left of the map in the buttom that island? 0:56

I love your accent! It's the same as mine! I didn't notice until I heard my voice on video. Honestly, initially embarrassed. Until I realized half of the USA speaks like me! And you!

The earth is flat and stationary with a dome over us, Antarctica is a ring that contains the ocean waters.

sORTA looks like what flat earth people call the bowl and then there are outer lands beyond that

That is the funniest title I've ever heard
