... a discussion of old maps allegedly showing Antarctica (they were the hypothetical southern continents from Greco-Roman myth) in which Hancock repeats old lies about the mapmakers admitting to relying on Ice Age originals. They said no such thing. The most famous such map literally says the opposite: “Behold!” Oronteus Finaeus wrote in 1531: “he presents for your gaze provinces, islands, seas, rivers, and mountains unseen before now, known neither to Ptolemy, nor Eudoxus, nor Eratosthenes, or Macrobius, but which have lain in shadows up to the present day.” Hancock did not read the Latin text and literally says in his show that it is based on older sources. He did not read the map he cites as evidence. Similarly, he repeats old clams about the Piri Reis map and adds a ridiculous one: that a clear set of mountains drawn on a rotated depiction of Cuba (much of the map is twisted to fit the vellum) is in fact the Bimini Road on a lost Ice Age island.
