1421 (Chinese discovery of America)

[djf]

I'm bumping this today to see if anyone else heard the report or found more info. I emailed MSNBC but got no response yet, and have posted a question to an Antarctica forum.

[Nick Danger]

Proof that linux is 500 years old.

[SunkenCiv]

that site kinda sucks, though. The pages have literally hundreds of errors, spelling "antarcticgear" as "antarticgear" which means the links don't work. Must be looking at snow 12 months a year does stuff to their minds. Here's their article list, with the URLs corrected, hundreds of duplicates removed, and alphabetized:

It was a Craftsman screwdriver. They can return it & get it replaced.

[Libertarian4Bush]

Human tools found in Antarctica

what are kerry and edwards doing there? it doesn't have any electoral votes or potential CP lawsuits!

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[Old Professer]

When you're shaving, how do you get to that area just below the corners of your lips?

[Old Professer]

Yeah, and the best part is they are pre-broken.

[Old Professer]

Man. I'm bored too, but i"m not manic.

[RightWhale]

The maps are real; the question is when the data for the maps was collected.

[AFreeBird]

That was Hapgood's conclusion in his book "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" that the Piri R'eis map shows an outline of part of the coast of Antarctica. I think he made it about 1620.

Yea, but a map showing an accuate outline of the coast as it would look under the ice.

[djf]

I think the Office of Naval Research already confirmed that the P'iri Reis map matched the coast of Antarctica without ice.
Long before satellites were in use or navigation/surveying expeditions took place.
In fact, the true coast of AI has been mapped using radar.
