Scientists continue to explore and find Giant hidden secrets of the Antarctic And its ancient Mysteries one of the Most important discoveries is probably The fact that at some point the Antarctic was not cold it was a very hot Area with giant rainforests and there is More and more evidence of A Lost Civilization that lived there and now With an incredible discovery of an Ancient map that shows the existence of The Antarctic it can be the final proof That ancient civilizations lived in this Place and the history of the Antarctic Is far different than we ever thought The Perry Reese map is a fascinating Cartographic artifact that illustrates Parts of the world as we know during the Early 16th century created by Perry Reese an esteemed ottoman Admiral and Cartographer the map showcases that Coastlines of Europe Africa and the Americas including South America however It is the depiction of Antarctica that Has attracted attention and fueled Speculation about ancient civilizations The controversy surrounding the Perry Rhys mab arises from the suggestion that Its portrayal of the ant Antarctica's Coastline is remarkably accurate raising Questions about how such knowledge could Have been obtained at a time when Antarctica was supposedly unknown to Western explorers some theorists argue
That advanced civilizations predating The accepted timeline of Antarctic Exploration may have possessed Sophisticated cartographic knowledge or Even visited the continent the notion of An ancient Antarctic civilization rests On the interpretation that the Perry Race map shows Antarctica without its Thick layers of ice proponents argue That ancient cultures potentially Possessing Advanced Technologies or even Extraterrestrial assistance could have Explored and mapped to Antarctica in Ancient times while the idea of an Ancient Antarctic civilization May Capture public interest it is not 100 Proven yet the scientific Community has Different opinions on this it's Interesting to point out that Graham Hancock has been known to reference the Piri Rhys map and other similar maps to Support his interesting theories He Suggests that these maps including the Perry Reese map indicate that an ancient Civilization had Advanced knowledge of Antarctica Hancock argued that the Accuracy of these maps in depicting the Continent without ice implies that these Ancient civilizations had access to Advanced Technology or possess knowledge That is not acknowledged by mainstream Historians as Graham explains there is No possible explanations for such maps To exist other than there were ancient
Advanced civilizations that had been in These territories of the Antarctic Furthermore a group of scientists from Different countries led by Dr Mathis Von Guineacen from the school of physical Sciences Center for astronomy and Planetary science has discovered fresh Proof of a meteorite hitting the Antarctic ice sheet about 430 000 years Ago the meteorite landed at a low Altitude scientists have found some Space stuff condensations ferals on top Of velnal feral WN in the soar rondana Mountains of Antarctica this discovery Suggests that something really interest Thing happened there it seems that a big Asteroid at least 100 meters in size Entered the Earth's atmosphere and Created a powerful explosion the Explosion caused the asteroids material To melt and vaporize forming a Fast-moving jet that reached the ground When a single asteroid hits something And causes a big explosion it's called An intermediate explosion it's not as Big as a full-on impact crater but is Also bigger than when an asteroid Explodes in the air the pieces of debris That were found have characteristics That show that they came from space Specifically chondritic material with a High amount of nickel they also have a Special kind of oxygen that suggests They mix with oxygen from the Antarctic
Ice sheet when they were created during The impact event the study which was Published in science advances makes a Significant breakthrough in the field of Geological records it's challenging to Find evidence of these types of events Because it's hard to identify and study The particles left behind by impacts the Research emphasizes the need to Reconsider the danger posed by Medium-sized asteroids this is because Touchdown events like the one studied in This research are likely to create Similar particles if such an event were To happen it could cause widespread Destruction over a large area matching The region where the hot jet from the Impact interacts with the ground we Should also point out that geological Studies and paleontological evidence Indicate that many many years ago Antarctica had a hot climate with Various rainforests during periods when The continent was located closer to the Equator as part of the supercontinent Gondwara fossilized plant and animal Remained as well as sedimentary deposits Provide clues about the past Environments and climates of Antarctica With that the presence of the newly Discovered river system challenges Previous assumptions about the extent of Water flow beneath the Antarctic ice Sheet traditionally it was believed that
Antarctica's cold summers limited the Amount of surface melting resulting in a Scarcity of water at the ice sheet base However this discovery demonstrates that Basal melting alone is capable of Generating substantial river systems Beneath their thick ice Flow and melting ice are directly Influenced by the slipperiness of the Isis base making the newly discovered River system a significant factor in the Ice loss equation its existence suggests That the ice sheets base may be more Susceptible to climate changes than Previously anticipated the research team Employed Airborne radar surveys and ice Sheet hydrology modeling to uncover this Extensive River Network focusing on an Area encompassing ice from both the East And West Antarctic Ice Sheets the fact That such a substantial system remained Undetected until now underscores the Need for further exploration a study of Antarctica the discovery provides Valuable insights into the Dynamics of Ice melting and offers a potential Missing Link in models used to predict Future ice behavior and sea level rise Furthermore scientists recently Discovered a really old piece of ice in Antarctica's Ong Valley this ice is Special because it has tiny bubbles Trapped inside it these bubbles could Tell us about the air that was around
Millions of years ago in fact this ice Core might be the oldest Frozen evidence Of Earth's past atmosphere that we Humans have ever found it gives us a Glimpse into what our planet was like Around 5 million years ago usually ice Cores only go back around 800 000 years So finding a core that is a million Years old is extremely uncommon that's Why this new discovery is really Remarkable the ice sample that was Recovered is actually made up of two Parts one part is older it is about 5.1 Million years old while the other part Is a bit younger dating back to around 2.95 million years ago the entire core Is 9.4 meters long which is about 371 Inches scientists believe that this ice Form during a Time called the pleocene Era which happened between 5.3 and 2.5 Million years ago scientists think that This ice they found could help solve Many mysteries about the Earth's ancient Past that we still don't know about ice Cores that are really old are really Valuable because they help scientists Understand what the Earth's atmosphere Was like in the past by studying these Samples scientists can figure out what Happened in the past and even make Predictions about what might happen in The future with our environment for Example this newly discovered ice core That's about 5 million years old could
Have little bubbles that hold Information about the Earth's atmosphere When there was a lot more CO2 and the Average temperature was higher than it Is now this information could give us Hints about what might happen as the Earth's temperatures keep going up by Looking at these bubbles scientists can Examine how the gas is in the ancient Atmosphere changed over time and Understand what caused those changes This information can give them clues About what might happen with the Atmosphere in the future especially Since global temperatures and carbon Emissions are increasing now that's why Many research groups from around the World are still searching for old ice Cores in Antarctica even though it's a Difficult task and takes a lot of time And money the people who search for These cores have to drill really deep Into the Earth even in freezing weather Conditions and there's no guarantee They'll find anything even if they do Find an ancient ice core the challenge Doesn't end there they have to make sure It doesn't get contaminated if the Sample touches any rocks on the surface It could get ruined moreover about 90 Million years ago when there were Dinosaurs on earth the planet was hotter Than it is today even in Antarctica Interestingly scientists have found a
Proof that Antarctica had a swampy Rainforest during that time they Conducted a study where they used a Special drilling machine on a research Ship to collect a piece of the sea floor From the Edmondson sea in West Antarctica this sample was taken close To the Pine Island anthraits glaciers When they examined the sediment core Using CT scans they found incredibly Well preserved forest soil pollen spores And even root systems the scientists Were able to identify the structures of Individual cells because they were so Well preserved the soil contained pollen From the earliest flowering plants ever Discovered near the South Pole the Researchers determined that the soil Along with its clay and silt components Originated about 90 million years ago They published their study in the Journal Nature one of the study authors Johann kleish who is a geologist at the Alfred Wegner Institute mentioned that They noticed something peculiar about The sediment layer when they first Examined it on the ship the layer had a Distinct correlation that stood out from The layers above it indicating that it Was originally formed on land rather Than in the ocean scientists have Learned that when dinosaurs were around The Earth was hotter overall Specifically the mid Cretaceous Era
Which occurred about 80 to 115 million Years ago was the warmest time the Planet has experienced in the past 140 Million years during this period Tropical regions had sea temperatures That could reach up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit additionally the sea level Was approximately 558 feet higher than It is today until now we didn't have any Proof of what the climate was like at The South Pole during the time of the Dinosaurs however this newly obtained Sample is the furthest south we have Managed to collect from the Cretaceous Period it gives us a glimpse into what Antarctica was like approximately 83 to 93 million years ago that's it for today So subscribe to our Channel and hit the Notification Bell
