The trouble is I have that book on my bookshelf and the majority of it IS FACTUAL...
Regarding the flight of P-38s that landed on the Greenland glacier, see this website about the recovery and restoring to flying status one of the P-38s, subsequently re-named “Glacier Girl.

No proof, but it’s possible. The Earth’s climate has changed many times.
Sounds like a great place for my summer cottage

Smashed and smeared? Not quite.

Scroll down and look at the photo. Does that plane look smashed and smeared? No. it did take damage but we’re are talking about a metal airplane compared to stone buildings.
Everyone wonders where the Egyptians came from.
Well, the answer is the South Pole and they were
tired of freezing their butts off and building
pyramids out of Ice.
See how easy that was...
Remember the Nazis sent an expedition down there
and so did we after the end of the war...

If it were there, it would be ground to a pulp and spread over 100s of miles.
Think of the squadron of P38s and B17 on Greenland. After just 50 years, they were so crushed and smeared that there were hardly any usable parts.
Have you forgotten about ‘Glacier Girl”?
There's an interesting book titled "When The Sky Fell" that makes sense, to me anyway. :-)
The "Sky Fell" refers to an ancient belief that the mountains held up the sky, and when the mountains collapsed (due to a shift in the tilt of the planet and the following upheavaling) the world was encased in clouds of vapor/smoke. ("Valley of the Shadow of Death" ???)
The "tilting of the earth's axis" explains The Flood in that as the earth tilted, oceans left their bed and sought out lower areas.
One guy posited that the accumulating weight of the ice cap tilted the earth, but that was later proven to be untrue as the bulge in the Equator counteracted that.
Lots of theories, but, IMO, the book above makes the most sense.
[sidebar] When I worked in the Middle East, I picked up a clock that showed a map of the world that was different from what I was used to (North America centric). Their map showed the Middle East in the center. Cool.
The book above shows the map of the world with Antarctica in the center, and Plato's description seems to fit it better that the common Gibraltar explanation.
Fun to speculate, in any event.
If it was ice-free it would have been under water, according to warmist doctrine.
No, it's not a fake. Admiral Reis actually did exist, and was a prominent map-maker in the Turkish Navy.
The Naval Museum in Istanbul has a replica of the Piri Reis map of the New World on the front of the building. It also has a room dedicated to the Admiral. It contains period maps and instruments of the type he would have used. I was never able to get clear whether they were actually his instruments, or simply typical instruments of the period in which he worked. It was quite clear, though, that he was very competent, and his maps of the Mediterranean were accurate.
However, despite the best that could be done by sixteenth-century cartographers, it wasn't until the 1950s that the US Air Force, using electronic navigation aids, was able to tie together the 30th Meridian between Europe and Africa.
Interesting!

I still cant figure out why people in Australia and South Africa don't fall off the earth, being upside down and all.
Having done some extensive research on a variety of related topics, I’ve found that anything (including the Piri Reis map) that contradicts the opinions of the archaeological community is almost universally characterized as a fake - even if the so-called fake is 500 years old and fairly accurate in every other respect.
