PinGGG!...................
1606? The map looks very much close to the actual world............
“These days, climate scientists are looking hard at Arctic maps” desperately searching for ways to keep the scam going.
Yeah since we don’t actually have much control over what the earth does.
“searching for ways to keep the scam going.”
With big money coming in.
DOGE needs to look at every active federal grant on the books.
I bet it’s more obscene than we can imagine.
Especially the one on the right:)
When I was sailing all charts looked like works of art to me. The coasting charts had detail of prominent buildings, vegetation or mountains along coastlines etc, all on quality paper. The paper started going down hill about the time the gaffiti like loran lines sprawled over the charts. The loran lines are gone but the quality and detail was still down.
Boy I remember my first trip there.
I wouldn’t recommend it.
Th one on the Left was produced in 1606. Yet it appears to show Hudson’s Bay in What is now Canada. Hudson’s Bay wasn’t discovered until 1611...............
Besides the North Pole, there is just as much mystery if not more of the ancient maps of Antarctica.
’ “These days, climate scientists are looking hard at Arctic maps” desperately searching for ways to keep the scam going.’
This!
Pygmies do indeed live at the North Pole but in modern times they are known as Santa’s elves.
I wonder if the idea of Pygmies in the North Pole inspired Baum when he wrote the Wizard of Oz books.
I heard they found a fat bearded guy in a red suit living with elves!
Just read the Wizard of Oz was written in 1900 and they went to the North Pole in 1909. Maybe Baum inspired the mapmakers for the North Pole!
The trip to the North Pole was envisioned many decades before the accomplishment. They knew it was there. They just didn’t have the necessary equipment to get there..............
What I mean was that Baum’s idea of Munchkins inspired the made up stories of Pygmies.
I’m sure to travel there for exploration was there already for years.
Such a good movie!
People fly over the North Pole every day now.................
