Yet we know it was once free of Ice!

While it is true that antarctica was indeed lush at one time, that was on a geological scale. You are talking about hundreds of millions of years ago as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of years of humans. Antarctica has been ice covered longer than any evolutionary evidence of even proto-humans nevermind homo sapiens sapiens.

Genesis 1:1 IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2. And the earth was (should be "became") without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.


We are not told when the earth became without form.

"Antarctica has been ice covered longer than any evolutionary evidence of even proto-humans nevermind homo sapiens sapiens."

There is no proof for you supposition. The Piri Reis map and others published by Charles Hapgood are good indicators that it was Ice-free in ancient times.

It can possibly be considered Ancient Atlantis since Atlantis sunk under the water and Anartica is buried under frozen water.

More importantly, the dispersal of "Atl" in both America and Europe seeks a common origin.

I'd agree that Antarctica was not Plato's Atlantis, but the glaciation on Antarctica isn't "hundreds of millions of years" old, it is less than 3 million years old. The beech fossils found in Antarctica are between 2 and 3 million years old, and obviously they required a temperate climate to survive the winter. About 22 million years ago, in what is now the Arctic Circle, the climate was about what is found today in Minnesota. Obviously a 2000 mile differential at one pole would correspond to a similar difference at the other.
