  • You’ve probably seen old maps showing a giant landmass in the Southern Hemisphere. This may sound a little ridiculous that I'm even bringing this up. I mean it’s obviously Antarctica. Or at least a mistaken merge of Antarctica and Australia….right? This land has held a few different names it’s history, but it’s most commonly known as Terra Australis, which is Latin for South Land or Land of the South.

    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!

    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.

      That's pretty much how I see it. Globe Busters and Jeranism do a great job at ferreting out inconsistencies within the official narrative. Eric DuBay has a decent book available called "200 Proofs the World is Flat," and then there is another YT channel called "Flat Water, Flat Earth." Many make a figure of fun out of FE theories by silly art depicting a flat disc in "space." They've not studied cosmology or alternative frameworks .

  • @dutchman7623

    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!

The Island south of Australia was once called 'van Diemens Land', but that sounded like Demons Land in English so it was renamed to the discoverer Abel Tasman and got the name Tasmania. And in the north there is an area called Arnhem Land. So still some Dutch names on a continent we mapped but where we never had permanent trade posts. (Of course we do trade with them nowadays. And a lot of Dutch people moved there.)

    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.

    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.

      At some point in our history a mud flood happened. This has been proven to be possible via frequency and dirt experiments. Now, only the Vatican knows what actually happened. As they control the true history of our entire planet. Why the Catholic Church is allowed to keep and hide our true history is for another time. This may have happened several times. We will never know until we can access the Vatican library. So never! This type of event would’ve been more than enough to take giant land masses away.

    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.

    GReat video, subbed and liked the video... I LOVE looking at old maps to see what people thought the world looked like, and all the strange sizes and proportions of land. Like esp the west hemisphere of earth, south america always had soem strange shape compared to now where its western coast was much larger and jutted out further into the pacific, and also similar is the western coast of US which is very large like the baja california side.
    One Mystery I would love to see a video about is regarding INDIA. I always found it strange how it looked in older maps..... the shape, size, direction, everything seems different and off. Many old maps tend to draw India extending and stretching SE and not jutting down southward like newer maps. There is also this mysterious large island for India, surrounded by other smaller islands, as if India was flooded at one point or Sri Lanka was considered much larger. For example, take a look at the 8:08 timestamp for "Mare Indicum", or even at 7:07 or 7:11 . The rest of this ancient map is more or less accurate in how current versions look, but india and south asia is not just one big landmass but instead almost fractured or split apart as there is this giant island in the center with small islands around it, but still has northern part like the riverbeds of punjab in the west and the ganges in the east. SO what gives? Why this big island? Were ships really able to sail thru the middle of india by some waterway with the southern half of india being a giant island or landmass?
    Whats the mystery behind Mare Indicum? Why did so many maps show this large island with other smaller islands but it disappears from more modern map versions? Would love a video discussion on this mystery.

    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

      Which map? Oronteus map? Columbus didn't discover the Americas until the 1490s. How much of the world was on that map? And you're telling me there was a perfectly accurate depiction of Antarctica with no ice? How did the known land masses look in that map? Did Europe and Africa look janky like in all the other maps of the period? Someone in the 1400s found a perfectly accurate map of a 3,000,000 y/o Antarctica? Or somehow in the last 12,000 years there was a brief greenhouse Earth period that only lasted a short time? Why do ice core samples in Antarctica go back further than 12,000 years then? So somehow an ancient, advanced civilization charted the world during a brief greenhouse period that completely contradicts ice core samples? And they perfectly mapped out Antarctica during this greenhouse period that somehow existed, yet when they charted the rest of the world they got lazy? Why is Antarctica the only perfectly accurate continent on the map? Or is the ENTIRE map perfect? A perfect world map from the 1400s would be far more impressive than a crappy map with a perfect Antarctica. And if Antarctica is perfect on the map, there's absolutely no excuse for the rest of the world to not be perfect either. Unless the civilization who initially lived in Greenhouse Antarctica never left Greenhouse Antarctica. But if they never left Greenhouse Antarctica, then how did a guy discover their map in the 1400s? Magic? Time travel?

    The Chinese were the first to"discover" Australia back in the 1500s they just didn't bother mapping it.....they were fishermen.

    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!

    You are telling that Magellan should've went to Drake's passage but going into Drake's passage is basically a suicide mission. That place is still dangerous even for our modern ships.

    By sheer bad luck there was 6 contacts with various parts of Western Australian reefs and Islands from 1606-1700's that resulted in various shipwrecks and mal adventures . All being VOC interests in gathering spices than naming the place their own for their King. The politics of that has me needing to understand harder

    Very interesting. I have never before heard of the southern land mass. I am sure I have glimpsed some of these maps before, but simply assumed at a glance that it was Antarctica.
    I do find it interesting, though, how guesses become facts. They had no proof of a torrid zone or a southern land mass, yet people believed it as fact. I wonder why ideas, which I understand are based on limited logic, cross the line into being fact. I think this same thing happens today. So many of our scholars today propose things that are taken as fact in regards to the distant past, or the universe beyond our Earth....things that cannot possibly be confirmed. As always, it is treated as fact until something new comes along, to which the facts are molded into something new.
    I guess i just don't understand why mankind, back then or today, always think they know everything and speak with such authority. Again, it all comes from limited logic, as there are always many variables that are unknown that can completely change what was once thought. It never ends. It is an ongoing series of "facts" that end up morphing into something else entirely yet never truly coming to a real conclusion. For every discovery, a hundred new mysteries are opened.

      You don't have to believe in facts, facts are proven. They believed hypothesis and explored to find proof and then they knew the facts.
