Nityananda!Gauranga!Hare
Krishna!
Gurudeva,please acept my
humble dandavats at your lotus feet
dandavats at the lotus
feet of all devotees
We had done a
presentation on mystries of the world,for our Communication Skills Term work,
here is an exerpt from it challanging modern historical concept that
civilization began from 3000 b.c. This also shows that 5000 yrs ago when Lord
Krishna advented,how advanced civilization was.
Modern history has no answer to this map.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1929, a group of
historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle skin.
Research showed that it
was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the
Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century.
His passion was
cartography. His high rank within the Turkish navy allowed him to have a
privileged access to the Imperial Library of Constantinople.
The Turkish admiral
admits in a series of notes on the map that he compiled and copied the data
from a large number of source maps, some of which dated back to the fourth
century BC or earlier.
The Piri Reis map shows
the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the
northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly
detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri Reis managed to
draw such an accurate map of the Antarctic region 300 years before it was
discovered, but that the map shows the coastline under the ice. Geological
evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted
in an ice-free state is 4000 BC.
The official science has
been saying all along that the ice-cap which covers the Antarctic is million
years old.
The Piri Reis map shows
that the northern part of that continent has been mapped before the ice did
cover it. That should make think it has been mapped million years ago, but
that's impossible since mankind did not exist at that time.
Further and more accurate
studies have proven that the last period of ice-free condition in the Antarctic
ended about 6000 years ago. There are still doubts about the beginning of this
ice-free period, which has been put by different researchers everything between
year 13000 and 9000 BC.
The question is: Who
mapped the Queen Maud Land of Antarctic 6000 years ago? Which unknown
civilization had the technology or the need to do that?
In 1953, a Turkish naval
officer sent the Piri Reis map to the U.S. Navy Hydrographic Bureau. To
evaluate it, M.I. Walters, the Chief Engineer of the Bureau, called for help
Arlington H. Mallery, an authority on ancient maps, who had previously worked
with him.
After a long study,
Mallery discovered the projection method used.
To check out the accuracy of the map, he made a grid and transferred the
Piri Reis map onto a globe: the map was totally accurate. He stated that the
only way to draw map of such accuracy was the aerial surveying: but who, 6000
years ago, could have used airplanes to map the earth??
The Hydrographic Office
couldn't believe what they saw: they were even able to correct some errors in
the present days maps!!
The precision on
determining the longitudinal coordinates, on the other hand, shows that to draw
the map it was necessary to use the spheroid trigonometry, a process supposedly
not know until the middle of 18th century.
It is well-known that the
first civilization, according to the traditional history, developed in the
mid-east around year 3000 BC, soon to be followed within a millennium by the
Indus valley and the Chinese ones. So, accordingly, none of the known civilizations
could have done such a job. Who was here 4000 years BC, being able to do things
that NOW are possible with the modern technologies?
Scrutiny of the map shows
that the makers knew the accurate circumference of the Earth to within 50
miles.
The coastline and island
that are shown in Antarctica must have been navigated at some period prior to
4,000 B.C. when these areas were free of ice from the last Ice Age.
The map is thought to be
one of the earliest "world maps" to show the Americas. Early scholars
suggested that it showed accurate latitudes of the South American and African
coastlines - only 21 years after the voyages of Columbus! (And remember,
Columbus did NOT discover North America - only the Caribbean!) Writing in Piri
Re'is own hand described how he had made the map from a collection of ancient
maps, supplemented by charts that were drawn by Columbus himself. This suggests
that these ancient maps were available to Columbus and could have been the
basis of his expedition.
Piri Re'is own commentary indicates that some
of his source maps were from the time of Alexander the Great (332 B.C.).

Hare Krishna!Interesting tekst, Bhusan! Here are pictures of maps! Modern
history do not have proper answer to them!
