"Kinda make me think that there was "something different" about the Ice Ages." Does make one wonder, especially the Peri Rees(sp) map showing the land mass of the Anartica before modern times.

Piri Re'is was Admiral of the Turkish fleet. As such, he had the best navigational charts, and not just near Turkey. The Turkish Navy went far, wide and strong.

Piri Re'is Map...No, I was thinking more about the Amur valley and Northern Siberia being a lot warmer during the Ice Ages than it is now, present temp on the level of the Ninth Bolga of Hell.
The Gulag Archipeligo mentions that prisioners working in a mine in Northern Siberia struck an "Ice Lens" full of frozen fish, which they ate with no harm to themselves. This and the frozen mammoth thing started me thinking that there was more to the Ice Ages than people are willing to admit.

The Piri Reis MapThereafter, the Piri Reis Map drifts into the Twilight Zone. It shows South America swinging far to the east. Given that the map so far has done fairly well in latitude, we can be sure the coastline is not Antarctica. Also, if the map draws on ancient knowledge to show things no 16th century explorer would have known, why is the coastline continuous? So why isn't there open water between South America and "Antarctica?" You can't seize on an accidental resemblance to a couple of bumps on the coast of Antarctica and blithely ignore the failure to show the Drake Passage!And...where's Greenland? And what are those islands off the coast of S. America?
