The Piri Reis Map: Do Ancient Maps Show an Ice-Free Antarctica?

The Piri Reis map was drawn in 1513 by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis and depicts parts of Europe, Africa, and the coastlines of South America. It is known for being unusually detailed for its time and is said to have been based on around twenty older maps, including Portuguese maps and possibly some of Columbus's own. The map was drawn on gazelle skin and was discovered in 1929 at Topkapı Palace in Istanbul. Some claim that it shows Antarctica before it was covered in ice, which has led to theories about lost civilizations, but this is rejected by researchers, who argue that the southern sections are most likely distorted parts of South America. Today, it is one of the most debated maps in history and is used both as a historical document and as fuel for alternative-history theories. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Bronze Age Collapse – Who Were the Mysterious Sea Peoples?

Around 1200 BC, the Sea Peoples swept across the eastern Mediterranean and attacked major powers such as the Hittites and Egypt. They were a collection of different peoples, including the Sherden, Peleset, and Denyen, who arrived by sea with women, children, and livestock. Egyptian sources depict them wearing horned and feathered helmets, armed with spears, swords, and shields. Their raids contributed to the collapse of several Bronze Age kingdoms, and cities such as Ugarit and Hattusa were destroyed. After their defeat by Ramesses III, some groups, such as the Philistines, settled in the southern Levant and blended into new cultures. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
