Mysterious Antarctica stories...

[Spock Profile]

Well, I tend to think we may find pyramids and traces of civilization under the ice. I think Antarctica was swallowed up and frozen very quickly.

There is still the case of the map that dates to the 14th century that shows the coastline of Antarctica, and we didn't know the map was accurate until we had satellites with the technology to pear through the ice. The shoreline in the old map hasn't been visible for over 10,000 years (from what I remember reading).

Interesting, i also belive that we will (or could) find traces of a large civilisation undernearth all that ice (if it hasnt been completely crushed!). Pyramids would be great wouldnt they?

I appreciate it would be immensely difficult to excavate, but i dont feel like there is any effort being made to search for evidence of civilisation in Antarctica.

Those old maps have always facisnated me, i remember reading that they were apparently copied from an even older source that the cartographer had acquired.

call me crazy but ......

antartica is atlantis

I read somewhere that those scientists were denied access to the south pole because supposedly from the south pole you can see planet x to the right of the sun without any kind of optics, and also because of the south pole telescope that tracks planet x.

flash freezing is very important to understand,and it will expl;ain about anartica also

Fifty years ago, Bernard Heuvelmans collected and published reports of modern sightings of supposedly extinct mammoths seen alive today, in the boreal forests of Siberia. Thoughts that mammoths had survived probably stemmed from finds of extremely fresh specimens thawing out of the tundra’s permafrost.

Two questions, one cryptozoological and the other Fortean, nevertheless, are raised whenever there is new talk of such discoveries:

(1) Did these mammoths live during contemporary times with modern humans, as discussed by Heuvelmans and others?

(2) Were they frozen in a quick “flash freeze” incident, as first noted by Ivan T. Sanderson? In Sanderson’s 1960 Saturday Evening Post article, “Riddle of the Frozen Giants,” he wrote of his catastrophic astronomical theory to explain the frozen mammoths and frozen wooly rhinos. You will find that Sanderson’s claims were debunked because, among other items, mammoths were said to have rotten before they froze. Out of disfavor today, will future climatic studies find evidence for such events, in terms of Sanderson’s theory? Are new findings that the rotting happened as the permafrost was thawing and before the discoveries were made, assist with bringing Sanderson’s notions about frozen Pleistocene megafauna, into new critical review? And what can we learn from this new 2007 discovery?



Breaking news now comes of not a “decaying frozen mammoth” rotting in the tundra’s permafrost and being eaten by dogs, but of a baby, said to be the “best preserved specimen of its type.”

The BBC News has published the following, which I have edited to remove the general background information on mammoths (available with the original article, see url below):

A baby mammoth unearthed in the permafrost of north-west Siberia could be the best preserved specimen of its type, scientists have said. The frozen carcass is to be sent to Japan for detailed study.

The six-month-old female calf was discovered on the Yamal peninsula of Russia and is thought to have died 10,000 years ago. The animal’s trunk and eyes are still intact and some of its fur remains on the body. In terms of its state of preservation, this is the world’s most valuable discovery.

The 130cm (4ft 3ins) tall, 50kg Siberian specimen dates to the end of the last Ice Age, when the great beasts were vanishing from the planet. It was discovered by a reindeer herder in May this year. Yuri Khudi stumbled across the carcass near the Yuribei River, in Russia’s Yamal-Nenets autonomous district.

Last week, an international delegation of experts convened in the town of Salekhard, near the discovery site, to carry out a preliminary examination of the animal.

“The mammoth has no defects except that its tail was bit off,” said Alexei Tikhonov, vice director of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a member of the delegation. “In terms of its state of preservation, this is the world’s most valuable discovery,” he said.

Larry Agenbroad, director of the Mammoth Site of Hot Springs research centre in South Dakota, US, said: “To find a juvenile mammoth in any condition is extremely rare.” Dr Agenbroad added that he knew of only three other examples.

Some scientists hold out hope that well preserved sperm or other cells containing viable DNA could be used to resurrect the mammoth.

Despite the inherent difficulties, Dr Agenbroad remains optimistic about the potential for cloning.

“When we got the Jarkov mammoth [found frozen in Taimyr, Siberia, in 1997], the geneticists told me: ‘if you can get us good DNA, we’ll have a baby mammoth for you in 22 months’,” he told BBC News. That specimen failed to yield DNA of sufficient quality, but some researchers believe it may only be a matter of time until the right find emerges from Siberia.

Dr Agenbroad warned that scientifically valuable Siberian mammoth specimens were being lost to a lucrative trade in ivory, skin, hair and other body parts. The city of Yakutsk in Russia’s far east forms the hub for this trade. Local people are scouring the Siberian permafrost for remains to sell on, and, according to Dr Agenbroad, more carcasses could be falling into the hands of dealers than are finding their way to scientists.

“These products are primarily for collectors and it is usually illicit,” he explained. “Originally it was for ivory, now it is everything. You can now go on almost any fossil marketing website and find mammoth hair for $50 an inch. It has grown beyond anyone’s imagination.” Dr Agenbroad added: “Russia says that any mammoth remains are the property of the Russian government, but nobody really pays attention to that.”

The Yamal mammoth is expected to be transferred to Jikei University in Tokyo, Japan, later this year. A team led by Professor Naoki Suzuki will carry out an extensive study of the carcass, including CT scans of its internal organs.

Mammoths first appeared in the Pliocene Epoch, 4.8 million years ago. What caused their widespread disappearance at the end of the last Ice Age remains unclear; but climate change, overkill by human hunters, or a combination of both could have been to blame. One population of mammoths lived on in isolation on Russia’s remote Wrangel Island until about 5,000 years ago.

Interesting, i also belive that we will (or could) find traces of a large civilisation undernearth all that ice (if it hasnt been completely crushed!). Pyramids would be great wouldnt they?

I appreciate it would be immensely difficult to excavate, but i dont feel like there is any effort being made to search for evidence of civilisation in Antarctica.

Those old maps have always facisnated me, i remember reading that they were apparently copied from an even older source that the cartographer had acquired.

it wouldn't be as hard as you think, did you watch that video i posted? FACT there is 300 miles of warm weather no snow lots of fresh water lakes and tons of minerials. Now why would the military hide this???

because it's well beyond 300 miles big it's been growing - most claim the entrence to hollow earth is in that 300 miles and the heat that escapes the earth warms up that area keeping it warm and unfrozen.

as others claim the pole is and has been shifting and anartica is moving outta the cold.

but the fact is we could set up a base in that warm 300 miles is and from there search out into the cold....

your not dumb at all your right on track! anartica and all of our coastlines are the places to search.

call me crazy but ......

antartica is atlantis

your not crazy at all,as a matter of fact if you look at platos words the place he claims alantis sits would have moved south if a polor shift happend wich by flash frozen mammoths in north and that antartica has frozen plant life in the south says it was in warmer climate at one time.

antartica is a perfectly preserved land, anything that lived there 100 thousand years ago is still there flash frozen in place no decay.

I read somewhere that those scientists were denied access to the south pole because supposedly from the south pole you can see planet x to the right of the sun without any kind of optics, and also because of the south pole telescope that tracks planet x.

yes matter of fact there are 3 telescopes there. on goodle earth its blotted out but its poorly done and there is cracks you can sqeeze thru to see whats behind the botted out area, i took photos of all the bases listed, its like a town or city to be honest,roughly theres around 30 bases/buildings there.

but when on google earth zoom into the bloted out area and look for a crack in blotted out area zoom into the crack and you'll end up behind the blot and you can see all of anartica and all the bases listed.

i would put up photos but i'm not sure if i could get in troubles i'm sure the military is hiding these bases for a reason.

also if you manage to slip in the crack and able to view the unblotted out antarica you can click on the names of the buildings and it pulls up photos of each building and telescopes....

Kahn, i think it might be Atlantis as well, were not so crazy!

Vulcanic, thank you so much for that info, as i watched the Video thats exactly what i was thinking, what a great place to set up camp! Im off to google earth to do some digging....
