Why is there a Sea in America on Old Maps?

  • Maps from the age of discovery are filled with some pretty interesting geography. They had a mass that kept the world from tipping over, the north pole had a giant magnetic rock in the center, there was even land populated by giants.
    But what I’m about to show you is one of my favorite examples of weird geography on old maps.

      After the pole shift (aka the "ice age") some 12,000 to 13,000 years ago, the North American ice sheet would likely have taken decades to melt, flooding some regions of the continent and may have drained into the Gulf of Mexico, following a similar path to the present Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Perhaps ocean levels remained higher for a long period of time so that midwest regions remained flooded in the interior.

    My cousin just found a huge fossilized shark tooth sticking out of a clay bank behind his shop, in a suburb of Baton Rouge. He thought it was a big spear at first, and he started digging it out & found that it was a very large, pointed tooth (looks just like today's shark tooth but over 6" long & about 6" wide at the base). I'm hoping he'll get LSU to evaluate his find & maybe see what else is there. Seems there must've been some type of ocean or inland sea there...

Makes you wonder if Lake Lahonton was not as far back as we have been told. I know someone who was told by a local Native American that his great grandfather was told by his great grandfather he took a canoe from near Lovelock, NV to near Pyramid Lake, NV and it was all water with mountain tops (now) as Islands. In that area today you can still see ancient shorelines on the sides of mountains.

    If you look at the Chronicles and writings of Magellan you will find that he spent several weeks restocking his ships on the Southeast coast of South America where he met with a couple the man was 13 ft tall and the woman was about 9 ft tall. Yes there were giants in South America at that time along with Giants on Easter Island when it was first found. But they had left there by the time they made it back to the island and when they asked the rapinui where they had gone they said they flew up in the air.
    And up until at least the mid 1700s the English were traveling from England to the Pacific Ocean by using the Northwest Passage which eventually froze over by the 1770s. The route was Kept Secret because it was a military secret but we know this is true because ships that would leave England would go to the Pacific Ocean and be back before they could ever make the trip below South America. They even describe animals that only exist in the Northwest United States.

    That map of an inland sea is referencing Verrazzano's trip in to the Gulf of Mexico where he found the mouth of the Mississippi River and went up a little bit. And because it was flood season, the further north he went the river looked like an inland sea.
    And as per usual in those days...he and his cartographer exaggerated a lot about what they saw or simply mistook what they saw...or interrogated natives they found and made maps based on iffy information at best.
    And it was also common practice for explorers who found treasures in the new world to return home with maps that weren't entirely accurate so they themselves could return later to collect more.

    1896, Lé Plongeon, author of Queen Móo and the Egyptian Sphinx in Yucatan area of South America. While he was excavating he found the story of both North and South America - once a ONE GREAT CONTINENT but flooded in a worldwide event...
    As flood waters dissipated, the land between the two - off the South Coast and the Gulf - never reemerged. The water had inundated near all North America but as it receded, California was an Island and the Sea had created several lakes (now the Great Lakes). Queen Móo had lost her husbsnd and she built the "Egyptian Sphinx" in his honor - in South America (pictures in his book). She left So. America as soon as the Atlantic became passable again; she returned to her Kin in Egypt where the Sphinx was built in her honor - it was HER FACE that was removed.
    Page 146 - "The country of the hills of mud, the land of Mu was sacrificed: being twice upheaved it suddenly disappeared during the night, the basin being continually shaken by volcanic forces. Being confined, these caused the land to sink and to rise several times and in various places. At last the surface gave way and ten countries were torn asunder and scattered. Unable to stand the force of the convulsions, they sank with their 64,000,000 of inhabitants 8060 years before the writing of this book.‎"
