I think you are referring to some modern apologist geomotry tricks to make the OF map fit antartica better, because if you look an overlay of antartica with the OF they are a very poor fit... that's even if you scale and rotate them to match up best. Further, the OF map doesn't accurtately depict the straits of magellan (the PR map not at all). The supposed antartica is labled "Terra Australis," which was thought to exist at the south pole since the Greeks because of a greek argument of a spherical earth needing it to balance. Thus you find many, many anchient to old maps with an "Terra Australis Incognita." Now, if you actually look at the OF map you'd notice that there is a island labled "java" just northwest of the large bay of the landmass labled "Terra Australis" which if you check out a map of Australia is a fair representation of things. Ergo the OF "Terra Australis" is likely a combination of things known at the time with classic map myths carried over: Australia, an artic land south of S America, and the ever present "Terra Australis Incognita." So maybe be a little more skeptical of your "wierd sites" and have a little more faith in the imagination, abilities, and intercourse between peoples of the second millenia. Subject: Re: Map of N.

You can believe whatever you like, however, these maps are not evidences that support your belief. Cheers tho! Subject: Re: Map of N.

The only people who think they are real are Zacharia von Sitchin and his readers. His ideas are based on totally false astronomy (which I know something about). Don't waste your time with him.
