I agree. There’s an ancient wreck in the Bay of Jars, that doesn’t mean the post-1492 claims are suddenly invalid.
I think the treaty will be renewed and that it won’t be altered much. I have a all kinds of confidence in our ability to drill for oil, and almost as much in our ability to get the oil to market from there, but unless there’s a huge rise in the price of it, it won’t be economical.

Definitely. She was probably basically the servant of whalers and died of natural causes, and was covered with whatever snow and ice could be chipped out to cover her.
I'd be very surprised if there aren't any prediscovery [sic] undocumented shipwrecks offshore (or onshore) in the Antarctic.
I've often wondered if this bit of Herodotus referred to calving icebergs off Antarctica as this expedition headed south along the east coast of Africa.

Therefore passing these by I shall make mention of the king who came after these, whose name was Sesostris. He (the priests said) first of all set out with ships of war from the Arabian gulf and subdued those who dwelt by the shores of the Erythraian Sea, until as he sailed he came to a sea which could no further be navigated by reason of shoals...

That is what I was thinking. And perhaps they were brought there against their will. Bought as slaves?

Maybe she was a woman pretending to be a man.
Modern “woke” historians will claim this - so then the LGBTQ population will have a claim on the land.

They are not banned.
