The "Era of the Great Glaciations" is one of the mysteries of the Earth. What awaits us: global warming or a new ice age? Ice Age vs. Flood

The Gulf Stream (warm current) originating in the Gulf of Mexico drives the streams of water heated at the equator to the north, where they give off heat to the atmosphere. At the end point of the movement, the current completely cools down and, due to the difference in salinity with the waters of the Arctic Ocean, the Gulf Stream sinks to a depth and passes into the Labrador Current, which moves south. Due to the transition of a warm flow into a cold one and vice versa, the Earth has a huge natural heater.

However, if the temperature of the North Pole rises by at least 1.2 degrees, the glaciers will melt, and a huge amount of fresh water will enter the Arctic Ocean. There it will mix with the Gulf Stream. Because of this, the cooling current will stop falling to the bottom. As a result, the Gulf Stream will not be able to move into the Labrador Current, and the natural stove will no longer heat.

The flow will not stop immediately, so global climate change will be gradual. A decrease in temperature will lead to a huge amount of snow falling and the formation of an ice cover. White color reflects 9 times more sunlight than black earth, so winter on the planet will practically never stop.

Siberian scientists have confirmed the hypothesis that the next ice age will begin on Earth in 30 thousand years. But the Little Ice Ages and other climatic cataclysms are difficult to predict.

In 1920, the Serbian researcher Milutin Milanković developed a theory according to which the alternation of glacial and interglacial (Holocene) epochs is associated with a change in the Earth's orbit as it moves around the Sun. Based on the calculations, it was concluded that the next global cooling will begin in about 30 thousand years. But, according to the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, there are still few empirical data for accurate research.

Scientists traced the deposits of loess (aeolian dust sediment that accumulated during ice ages) and soil that formed during the interglacial period in Western Siberia. "Science in Siberia" writes about the results of the study.

“There are numerous sections in Western Siberia that can be used to reconstruct the climate of the past. The most interesting of them are sections of the loess-soil sequence, they reflect the global climate record in the Quaternary period,” said Vladimir Zykin, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Professor of Novosibirsk State University.

Soils in many regions of the world formed synchronously. The cyclicity of their formation coincided with the periodicity of changes in the orbital parameters of the Earth, which, according to calculations, about 400 thousand years ago were similar to modern ones, the scientists noted.

“The fossil soil corresponding to this time and formed under the same geomorphological conditions has a thickness three times greater than the modern one, which indicates that the duration of this era of soil formation, occurring in the warm conditions of the interglacial, was also three times longer. Therefore, there is no reason to say that in the near future the modern interglacial era will end and a major glaciation will come. It will continue for more than 30,000 years,” said Valentina Zykina, a leading researcher at the institute.

At the same time, as the researchers specify, within each of the major epochs of cooling and warming there were smaller periods of sharp climate change. “These events are quasi-periodic, so it is quite difficult to predict them, in addition, they can manifest themselves locally,” the newspaper writes. The last Little Ice Age began, according to various sources, from the 12th or 15th centuries - a drop in temperature by one to three degrees in Europe caused outbreaks of crop failure and famine, plague and cholera epidemics. In addition, the climate was influenced by large volcanic eruptions, the emissions of which, once in the stratosphere, reflected the sun's rays.

The Little Ice Age ended at the end of the 19th century. Since then, the warming began, which continues to this day.

Everyone knows that there was an Ice Age on Earth! And some believe that not one. But in this matter, you need to be extremely careful. Many scientists urge not to exaggerate the power and vastness of glaciers - to put it mildly.

Here is the opinion of our scientist, Professor Valery Nikitich Demin: “In scientific, educational and reference literature, an indisputable, at first glance, opinion prevails: the northern territories of Eurasia were inhabited by humans no earlier than the 15th millennium BC, and before that all these lands were completely covered a powerful continental glacier, in principle excluding any life and migration. In essence, the glacier forged history itself!
However, the above absolutized dogma is contradicted primarily by archaeological data. The dating age of the most ancient sites within the boundaries of the postulated glacial zone in the North of Eurasia begins with a two hundred thousand year mark, and then smoothly and consistently passes through all the centuries up to the observable and already reflected in written monuments times.


For example, according to various sources, the age of the Byzovskaya site on the Pechora ranges from 20 to 40 thousand years. In any case, material facts testify: life flourished here just at a time when, according to the "glacial theory", there could be no life. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of such sites and other material monuments in the Arctic zone of Russia. glaring contradiction, but if only one!
You can look at the problem, so to speak, from the other end. Why does continental glaciation not repeat itself in the current, no less severe conditions, say, in Eastern Siberia, at the “pole of cold”? These and many other indisputable facts have long cast doubt on the scale and consequences of the glacial cataclysm that once befell our planet.”

Seven books directed against glacial dogma, which paralyzed science and ironed history like a glacier, were written by Academician Ivan Grigoryevich Pidoplichko (1905-1975), who until the end of his life headed the Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. But try to find these books today. In the Russian State Library, the four-volume (!) monograph “On the Ice Age” (edition 1946-1956) has been archived and is not given to readers. Books containing and summarizing unique geological, climatological, botanical and zoological material that refutes the "glacial theory" in its current dogmatic form are not freely available in other libraries either.

This tragicomic situation is reminiscent of a case told by the author of the forbidden theme himself. When glacialists, that is, supporters of the “glacial theory”, once discovered a second fossil soil in the pits, and according to their attitudes, there should be only one, the “extra” was simply covered up, and the expedition was declared “allegedly never-before”. In the same way, non-glacial processes of formation of boulder deposits are hushed up. The origin of boulders is usually explained by the “flattening” of ice, although boulders are found at a considerable depth in polar quarries.

The opinion of the founder of paleoclimatology in Russia Alexander Ivanovich Voeikov (1842-1916) is also ignored by supporters of absolutized dogmas. who considered the existence of an extensive European glaciation unlikely and allowed only a partial one in the north of Eurasia and America.

As for central Russia, here Voeikov was more than categorical: in accordance with his calculations, an ice shell at the latitude of Russian chernozems would automatically entail the transformation of the earth's atmosphere over this territory into a solid block of ice. Naturally, this did not happen, and therefore there was no picture of glaciation, which is usually drawn on the pages of textbooks. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the glacial hypothesis with known historical realities more than carefully.

Summing up the accumulated facts and summing up the general state of the problem of the so-called ice ages, I.G. Pidoplichko concluded that THERE ARE NO FACTS - GEOLOGICAL, PALEONTOLOGICAL OR BIOLOGICAL - CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE WITH LOGICAL INEVITABILITY ANYWHERE ON THE EARTH IN ANY PERIOD OF ITS DEVELOPMENT OF THE MATERIAL (NOT MOUNTAIN) glaciation.

“And there is no reason to predict,” the scientist emphasized, “that such facts will ever be discovered.”
Ustin Chashchikhin is even more categorical: "IN THE PRESENT GEOCHRONOLOGY THERE IS PLACE ONLY FOR ONE ICE AGE, WHICH IS NOT CONTRADICTING WITH THE FACTS."

A. Sklyarov in his article “Does the fate of Phaeton await the Earth?” writes: “The popularity of the theory of plate tectonics and the commitment of official scientific circles to it at one time gave rise to such a widely known myth as the Great Gondwana glaciation, which supposedly lasted right from the Ordovician to the end of the Permian (that is, it lasted about 200 million years!) And captured all the constituents of Gondwana continents (Africa, South America, Antarctica and Australia). ... It should, however, be noted that a certain cooling, although not on such a scale, did take place during the specified period. Tell me, my reader, can anything living exist for 200 million years on Earth covered with ice?
The point of view of the above-mentioned scientists seems convincing to me, and I will not talk about the ice age, but about a sharp short-term jump in cooling on Earth. Immediately after the geocosmic cataclysm, a sharp drop in atmospheric temperature is coming. Estimated separation from -50 ° C to -100 "C. Estimated duration - two years. The nature of the remains of "prehistoric" animals found throughout the world clearly indicates their almost instantaneous freezing.

About the animals found in Alaska, A. Alford literally says the following: “These animals ... died so suddenly that they immediately froze before they could decompose - and this is confirmed by the fact that local residents often thawed carcasses and ate meat” . That's how, even the meat was preserved?! Really 75 million years has lain and has not deteriorated? Or is it still better to admit that the disaster was recent?

The catastrophe ended with the formation of permanent ice at the poles. The permafrost front passes through the northern latitudes, it seems to have fixed the border of the ancient ecumene and the lands formed as a result of the movement of tectonic plates, which indicates that when the catastrophe ended, the geomagnetic position of our planet was already the same (or approximately the same) as we are we see it today. There was, however, a second shift of tectonic plates; although strong enough, it will not have such a destructive character. The second shift is still to be discussed.


One large piece of land, having broken off, stopped at the south pole. But here's what, dear reader, is curious: there are maps of the XIV-XVI centuries, which depict Antarctica. But after all, it will be “discovered” only in the 19th century!
In 1512, the Turkish admiral Piri Reis published the Bahriye navigational atlas. (This atlas is still kept in the National Museum of Istanbul.) His maps depict Greenland, North and South America with the Amazon, the Falkland Islands, as well as the Andes mountains, not yet known at that time, the Amazon is depicted with amazing accuracy. But Magellan will go on his first circumnavigation of the world only after another seven years!

Based on ancient primary sources, the map of Mukhiddin Piri Reis depicts a large (now gone) island in the Atlantic Ocean east of the South American coast. Is it a mere coincidence that this supposed island is depicted just above the underwater Meridional Mid-Atlantic Ridge, just north of the equator and 700 miles east of the coast of Brazil - where the tiny rocks of Saints Peter and Paul barely peek out from the waves?

But the miracles don't end there. Antarctica is also shown on the same map, and it can be seen that the coastlines and terrain are presented with a certainty that can only be achieved with high-altitude aerial photography, and even shooting from space. The southernmost continent of the planet on the Reis map is devoid of ice cover! The Reis map not only shows the coastline, but also rivers, mountain ranges and mountain peaks! Tropical animals are depicted: a monkey, a roe deer, a lemur, an animal similar to a cow. Two large tailless monkeys, standing on their hind limbs, hold hands, as if dancing. Or maybe it's people?

It is curious that ships with a perfect sailing system are also shown on the map! And we are told that Antarctica was discovered in January 1820 by the Russian expedition of F.F. Bellingshausen - M.P. Lazarev.
Greenland on Reis's maps also has no ice cover and consists of two islands (a fact recently confirmed by a French expedition)! In short, Greenland is depicted in the way that, according to the official version, it could only be related to the geographical picture of the planet five thousand years ago!

An analysis of the maps of Piri Reis by Dr. Afetinan Tarikh Kurumu in the book "Ancient Map of America" ​​(Ankara, 1954) and an examination conducted by the American Institute of Marine Hydrocartography revealed the incredible accuracy of these maps, which depict even the recently discovered mountain ranges of Antarctica and Greenland by geologists. And among other things, such accuracy, according to experts, can be obtained exclusively with the help of aerial photography.
Piri Reis explains the origin of these cards in this way. They were found in the hands of a Spanish navigator who participated in three expeditions of Christopher Columbus, who was taken prisoner by the Turkish officer Kemal during a naval battle. Piri Reis points out in his notes that, according to the Spaniard, Columbus sailed to the New World using these maps!!! The Piri Reis maps are kept in Istanbul (Constantinople) in the Imperial Library, of which the admiral was an honorary reader. Thus, based on all of the above, we can conclude that quite recently Antarctica and Greenland were without ice!

At the end of 1959, Charles X. Hapgood, a professor at Keene College (New Hampshire, USA), discovered a map compiled by Oronteus Phineus at the Library of Congress in Washington. And on the Phineus map (1531), Antarctica is also shown without its ice shell! The general outline of the continent coincides with what is shown on modern maps. Almost in place, almost in the center of the continent, lies the South Pole. The mountain ranges fringing the shores are reminiscent of the numerous ridges discovered in recent years, and enough not to consider this an accidental product of the cartographer's imagination.
These ridges have been identified, some on the coast, some in the distance. From many of them, rivers flowed to the sea, very naturally and convincingly fitting into the folds of the relief. Of course, this assumes that the coast was ice-free at the time the map was drawn. The central part of the continent on the map is free from rivers and mountains. As shown by seismographic studies in 1958, the relief depicted on the map is true.

Question: how could the boundaries of the Antarctic land be depicted if the glaciation of the mainland (again according to the official chronology) began 25 million years ago?

Gerard Kre-mer, known to the whole world under the name of Mercator, also trusted the maps of Phineus. The result of the study of ancient maps by MIT professor Richard Strachan: their compilation requires knowledge of geometric triangulation methods and an understanding of spherical trigonometry. And apparently, the compilers of the "primary sources" used by Piri Reis and other compilers of ancient maps had such knowledge.
In particular, Hapgood also discovered a Chinese map copied in 1137 from an earlier original on a stone pillar. This map contains the same exact longitude data as the others. It has the same grid and also uses spherical trigonometry.

Modern science knows other "strange" maps, which are united by the presence of geographical objects unknown at the time of their creation and the incredible accuracy of coordinate values. These, besides those listed, are Dulcert's portolan (1339), Zeno's map (1380), Yehuda Ben Zara's "Portolano", Hadji Ahmet's maps (1559), Mercator's maps (1538), Gutierre's maps (1562). .), Philippe Boucher (XVIII century).
But the most interesting thing is that I have not seen Australia on any map! And Antarctica has a different shape and is twice as large as modern. The mainland is so large that it rests on South America and almost reaches Africa. And the northeastern borders of Antarctica exactly copy the northern borders of modern Australia.

Well, isn't it suspicious? We must finally muster up the courage to admit that the history of the geography of the Earth and the chronology of events in reality look very different.

Ice Age versus the Flood.

The very term "Ice Age" has become so deeply embedded in our lives that (thanks to the well-known cartoons and television programs under this name) you can hardly find a person who would not be familiar with it. And few people think about the fact that in fact ... there was simply no “Ice Age”! .. At least it was not exactly in the form in which it is used to be perceived - as a period of some kind of global cooling on the planet.

I think the unprepared reader here will be surprised and even indignant. How was it not the Ice Age?!. After all, everyone around is only talking about the fact that he was! ..

However, the "everyone says" argument is not any proof of the truth of what "they say". It is necessary to look at objective data, and not at fashion or popularity. After all, delusions may well be fashionable and popular.

Although a variety of factors are cited as the reasons for the sharp warming at the turn of the Pleistocene and Holocene, in general, the majority of scientists believe that this was global climate change, which led to the rapid melting of glaciers over vast areas and an increase in the level of the World Ocean, and became the main cause of mass extinction of animals, the main peak of which occurred in the XI millennium BC (within the accepted geochronological scale!).

However, the nature of the fossil remains and geological deposits correlated with this period of time in a number of regions does not at all correspond to the smooth change in the level of the World Ocean, which should have occurred with the gradual melting of ice at the end of the "Ice Age". The observed facts are much more reminiscent of the result of the impact of a powerful water flow, which is very fleeting in time and comparable precisely with a cataclysm, and not with a gradual change in weather conditions.

It is curious that this discrepancy was noticed already when the theory of the "Ice Age" was still in its infancy and took its first steps - in the first half of the 19th century. By this time, it was already known, for example, about archaeological finds in Siberia and Alaska, which clearly indicate precisely the catastrophic course of events.

“In the permafrost of Alaska ... one can find ... evidence of atmospheric disturbances of incomparable power. Mammoths and bison were torn apart and twisted as if some cosmic arms of the gods were acting in rage. In one place ... they found the front leg and shoulder of a mammoth; the blackened bones still held the remnants of soft tissues adjacent to the spine along with tendons and ligaments, and the chitinous sheath of the tusks was not damaged. There were no traces of dismemberment of carcasses with a knife or other tool (as would be the case if hunters were involved in the dismemberment). The animals were simply torn apart and scattered around the area like woven straw, although some of them weighed several tons. Mixed with clusters of bones are trees, also torn, twisted and tangled; all this is covered with fine-grained quicksand, subsequently tightly frozen” (G. Hancock, “Traces of the Gods”).

“The same story happened in Siberia - and here, too, many animals were found buried in permafrost, most of which were typical of temperate regions. And here the corpses of animals were among uprooted tree trunks and other vegetation and bore signs of death from an unexpected and sudden catastrophe ... Mammoths died suddenly, and in large numbers, during severe frost. Death came so quickly that they did not have time to digest the food they had swallowed ... ”(A. Alford,“ Gods of the New Millennium ”).

Map of occurrences of mammoth bones from 1707 to 1912.

“The northern regions of Alaska and Siberia, apparently, suffered the most from the deadly cataclysms 13,000-11,000 years ago. As if death had waved a scythe along the Arctic Circle, the remains of a myriad of large animals were found there, including a large number of carcasses with intact soft tissues and an incredible number of perfectly preserved mammoth tusks. Moreover, in both regions, mammoth carcasses were thawed to feed sled dogs, and mammoth steaks even appeared on restaurant menus” (G. Hancock, “Traces of the Gods”).

But most importantly, these finds provide evidence that the climate in these regions was not at all colder (as it should be, based on the theory of the Ice Age), but on the contrary, much warmer than now.

“In the northern countries, these events left the carcasses of huge quadrupeds frozen into the ice, preserved to this day along with skin, wool and meat. If they had not been frozen immediately at the moment of death, decomposition would have destroyed their bodies. But on the other hand, such a constant cold could not have been characteristic of those places where we find animals frozen into the ice: they could not live at such a temperature. Animals died, then, at the very moment when glaciation descended on their habitats ”(Cuvier G. (1825). Discours (3rd edn.), vol. 1, pp.8-9).

The date of publication of the work from which the last quotation is taken, 1825, is very indicative. There is no Darwin's theory of evolution yet, there is no Lyell's theory yet, there is not yet a special case of them - the "Ice Age" theory, and facts are already known that indicate not only the sudden death of animals (which corresponds to a catastrophe), but also a significantly warmer, and not at all a cold climate in the place where the finds were found. Moreover, the facts pointing to the fact that at the moment of the end of the "Ice Age" in these regions there was not a warming at all, but, on the contrary, a sharp cooling!..

However, in the name of the triumph of the theory of two Charles, these data were simply preferred (and still prefer) not to be remembered.

(Charles Darwin needs no introduction. The English geologist Charles Lyell, in his work Fundamentals of Geology, proved that major changes on Earth did not occur as a result of destructive catastrophes, but as a result of slow, long geological processes)

The facts are rejected in favor of the theory and its special cases!..

Where was scientific thought concentrated in the first half of the 19th century?.. It was concentrated almost entirely in Europe and the developed centers of the United States, which were located mainly on the east coast of North America - that is, just in those regions where traces of glaciers were found. From here to Siberia and Alaska, the path is not at all close, especially then ...

And it is quite natural that the bulk of the empirical material collected at this point in time - geological and paleontological - fell precisely on Europe and the eastern part of North America. After all, it was much easier for the scientific fraternity to collect data at their side than to make the most difficult expeditions to harsh regions located thousands of kilometers away. The result is also quite natural - the bulk of the research and work of that time is also devoted to the regions of Europe and the eastern part of South America. And it is absolutely no wonder that in this mass of studies, literally single reports of finds in Siberia and Alaska could simply be trite ... lost! ..

We have to admit that statistics actually won, not the scientific approach. And the theory of the "Ice Age" simply "outweighed" the version of a fleeting catastrophe, the version of the Flood - it outweighed it not even with arguments, but almost literally, that is, with a mass of written paper

Meanwhile, the question is by no means reduced to ordinary statistics. The fact is that the finds in Siberia and Alaska not only do not fit into the theory of the "Ice Age", they put an end to it! the temperature here should have been not lower (as the Ice Age theory suggests), but higher than today!.. However, if the temperature on Earth was so low that powerful glaciers covered Europe (as the Ice Age theory says), then in Siberia and Alaska, now much further north, must have been even colder. Consequently, the glaciers must have been here such that there could be no question of any animals at all! ..

For example, evidence was found that at the end of the so-called "Ice Age" it became noticeably colder not only in Siberia and Alaska, but also in the southern part of South America, which also should not have been. After all, if the general temperature background of the planet increased, then in South America one would expect warming, and not cooling at all.

Recently, data have also been obtained that not everything is so simple with glaciers in Antarctica. It is usually indicated that their age is at least hundreds of thousands, and even millions of years. But the problem is that this conclusion is made on the basis of an analysis of individual samples in limited regions (where the ice shell is thicker), but for some reason it spreads to the entire continent at once. Meanwhile, studies in some coastal areas indicate that not all of Antarctica's glaciers are of such a venerable age. And the climate in some parts of this continent was earlier so much warmer that even rivers flowed here! that the rivers in the part of Antarctica closest to the Ross Sea flowed literally only about six thousand years ago! ..

“In 1949, on one of Sir Baird's Antarctic expeditions, samples of bottom sediments were taken from the bottom of the Ross Sea by drilling. Dr. Jack Huf of the University of Illinois took three cores to study climate evolution in Antarctica. They were sent to the Carnegie Institute of Washington (DC), where a new dating method developed by nuclear physicist Dr. V. D. Ury was applied ...

The nature of bottom sediments varies greatly depending on the climatic conditions that existed at the time of their formation. If they were carried by the rivers and deposited in the sea, then they are well sorted, and the better, the farther they fall from the mouth of the river.

If they are torn off the earth's surface by a glacier and carried into the sea by an iceberg, then their character corresponds to coarse clastic material. If a river has a seasonal cycle, flowing only in the summer, most likely from melting glaciers in the inland, and freezing over every winter, then the precipitation will form in layers, like annual rings on trees.

All these types of sediments were found in the bottom cores of the Ross Sea. Most striking was the presence of a series of layers formed from well-sorted sediments brought to the sea by rivers from ice-free lands.

As can be seen from the cores, there have been at least three temperate epochs in Antarctica during the past million years when the Ross Sea coasts should have been free of ice...

The timing of the end of the last warm period in the Ross Sea, determined by Dr. Ury, was of great importance to us.

All three cores indicated that the warming ended about 6000 years ago, or in the fourth millennium BC.

This was when glacial [corresponding to the presence of glaciers] sediments began to accumulate on the bottom of the Ross Sea in the next ice age to us.

Kern convinces that this was preceded by a longer warming ”(Ch. Hapgood,“ Maps of Ancient Sea Kings ”).

It turns out that during the "Ice Age" the climate in Antarctica was warmer, and not colder at all. And it got colder there just after the "Ice Age" ended.

Isn't there too many "unfortunate misunderstandings"?.. And isn't the area on which these same "misunderstandings" are observed, covering as a result a huge part of the globe, not too large?..

It is actually possible to get out of this tangle of climatic contradictions in a very simple way, if (leaving aside the question of the Flood and the causes of observed climatic changes for the time being) we draw a rather banal logical chain: the closer to the pole, the colder the climate, the more, respectively, and the likelihood of glaciers forming.

Expanding this logical chain from the end to the beginning and starting from the facts, we obtain the following conclusion.

Glaciers in Europe and eastern North America formed because earlier in the 11th millennium BC these regions were closer to the geographic north pole than they are now. The climate in Siberia and Alaska was warmer, because at the same time these regions were located further from the north geographic pole than they are now. Similarly, South America with nearby areas of Antarctica was further from the geographic south pole than is the case today. In other words, earlier the geographic poles of our planet occupied a different position.

There was actually no "Ice Age"! .. At least in the sense that we understand it now - as lower temperatures throughout the planet as a whole. The “Ice Age” was in Europe and in the east of North America (after all, there were ice), but it had not a planetary, but only a local character! .. And it ended not because of a general increase in temperature on the planet, but because that as a result of a change in the position of the geographical poles, Europe and the eastern part of North America ended up in warmer latitudes.

Facts and simple logic lead to this conclusion. But this is a conclusion that does not yet explain the reasons for the changes that have occurred. And they still need to be dealt with. How to deal with whether these causes are related to what we (like geologists two hundred years ago) started with - that is, whether these causes are connected with the Flood. And for this, you first need to understand what the "Global Flood" is.

Was there an ice age?

Everyone knows that there was an Ice Age on Earth! And some believe that not one. But in this matter, you need to be extremely careful. Many scientists urge not to exaggerate the power and vastness of glaciers - to put it mildly.

In essence, the glacier forged history itself!

However, the above absolutized dogma is contradicted primarily by archaeological data. The dated age of the oldest sites within the boundaries of the postulated glacial zone in the North of Eurasia begins with a two hundred thousand year mark, and then smoothly and consistently passes through all the centuries up to the times visible and already reflected in written monuments.

For example, according to various sources, the age of the Byzovskaya site on the Pechora ranges from 20 to 40 thousand years. In any case, material facts testify: life flourished here just at the time when, according to the "glacial theory", there could be no life. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of such sites and other material monuments in the Arctic zone of Russia. So, there is a glaring contradiction. But if only one!

You can look at the problem, so to speak, from the other end. Why does continental glaciation not repeat itself in the current, no less severe conditions, say, in Eastern Siberia, at the "pole of cold"?

And captured all the continents that made up Gondwana ( Africa, South America, Antarctica and Australia) ... It should, however, be noted that a certain cooling, although not on such a scale, did take place during this period.

Tell me, my reader, can anything living exist for 200 million years on Earth covered with ice?

The point of view of the above-mentioned scientists seems convincing to me, and I will not talk about the ice age, but about a sharp short-term jump in cooling on Earth. Immediately after the geocosmic cataclysm, a sharp drop in atmospheric temperature is coming.

Assumed separation from -50 °C to -100 °C. Estimated duration is two years.

The nature of the remains of "prehistoric" animals found around the world clearly indicates their almost instantaneous freezing. About the animals found in Alaska, A. Alford literally says the following: “ These animals ... died so suddenly that they immediately froze before they could decompose - and this is confirmed by the fact that local residents often thawed carcasses and ate meat". That's how, even the meat was preserved?! Really 75 million years has lain and has not deteriorated? Or is it still better to admit that the disaster was recent?

The catastrophe ended with the formation of permanent ice at the poles. The permafrost front passes through the northern latitudes, it seems to have fixed the border of the ancient ecumene and the lands formed as a result of the movement of tectonic plates, which indicates that when the catastrophe ended, the geomagnetic position of our planet was already the same (or approximately the same) as we are we see it today. There was, however, a second shift of tectonic plates; although strong enough, it will not have such a destructive character. The second shift is still to be discussed.

One large piece of land, having broken off, stopped at the south pole. But here's what, dear reader, is curious: there are maps of the XIV-XVI centuries, which depict Antarctica. But after all, it will be “discovered” only in the 19th century!

(This atlas is still kept in the National Museum of Istanbul.) His maps depict Greenland, North and South America with the Amazon, the Falkland Islands, as well as the Andes mountains, not yet known at that time, the Amazon is depicted with amazing accuracy.

But Magellan will go on his first circumnavigation of the world only after another seven years!

Based on ancient primary sources, the map of Mukhiddin Piri Reis depicts a large (now gone) island in the Atlantic Ocean east of the South American coast. Is it a mere coincidence that this supposed island is depicted just above the underwater Meridional Mid-Atlantic Ridge, just north of the equator and 700 miles east of the coast of Brazil - where the tiny rocks of Saints Peter and Paul barely peek out from the waves?

But the miracles don't end there. Antarctica is also shown on the same map, and it can be seen that the coastlines and terrain are presented with a certainty that can only be achieved with high-altitude aerial photography, and even shooting from space. The southernmost continent of the planet on the Reis map is devoid of ice cover! The Reis map not only shows the coastline, but also rivers, mountain ranges and mountain peaks!

Tropical animals are depicted: a monkey, a roe deer, a lemur, an animal similar to a cow. Two large tailless monkeys, standing on their hind limbs, hold hands, as if dancing. Or maybe it's people? I could not resist, I found these ancient maps on the Internet, so that it was not from other people's words. So I am writing what I have seen.

It is curious that ships with a perfect sailing system are also shown on the map!

And we are told that Antarctica was discovered in January 1820 by the Russian expedition of F.F. Bellingshausen - M.P. Lazarev.

Greenland on Reis's maps also has no ice cover and consists of two islands (a fact recently confirmed by a French expedition)! In short, Greenland is depicted in the way that, according to the official version, it could only be related to the geographical picture of the planet five thousand years ago! An analysis of the maps of Piri Reis by Dr. Afetinan Tarikh Kurumu in the book "Ancient Map of America" ​​(Ankara, 1954) and an examination conducted by the American Institute of Marine Hydrocartography revealed the incredible accuracy of these maps, which depict even the recently discovered mountain ranges of Antarctica and Greenland by geologists. And among other things, such accuracy, according to experts, can be obtained exclusively with the help of aerial photography. Piri Reis explains the origin of these cards in this way. They were found in the hands of a Spanish navigator who participated in three expeditions of Christopher Columbus, who was taken prisoner by the Turkish officer Kemal during a naval battle. Piri Reis points out in his notes that, according to the Spaniard, Columbus sailed to the New World using these maps!!! Piri Reis maps are stored in Istanbul (Constantinople) in the Imperial Library, of which the admiral was an honorary reader. Thus, based on all of the above, we can conclude that quite recently Antarctica and Greenland were without ice!

At the end of 1959, Charles X. Hapgood, a professor at Keene College (New Hampshire, USA), discovered a map compiled by Oronteus Phineus at the Library of Congress in Washington. And on the Phineus map (1531), Antarctica is also shown without its ice shell! The general outline of the continent coincides with what is shown on modern maps. Almost in place, almost in the center of the continent, lies the South Pole. The mountain ranges fringing the shores are reminiscent of the numerous ridges discovered in recent years, and enough not to consider this an accidental product of the cartographer's imagination. These ridges have been identified, some on the coast, some in the distance. From many of them, rivers flowed to the sea, very naturally and convincingly fitting into the folds of the relief. Of course, this assumes that the coast was ice-free at the time the map was drawn. The central part of the continent on the map is free from rivers and mountains. As shown by seismographic studies in 1958, the relief depicted on the map is true.

Question: how could the boundaries of the Antarctic land be depicted if the glaciation of the mainland (again according to the official chronology) began 25 million years ago?

Gerard Kremer, known to the whole world under the name of Mercator, also trusted the maps of Fineus. The result of the study of ancient maps by MIT professor Richard Strachan: their compilation requires knowledge of geometric triangulation methods and an understanding of spherical trigonometry.

And apparently, the compilers of the "primary sources" used by Piri Reis and other compilers of ancient maps had such knowledge. In particular, Hapgood also discovered a Chinese map copied in 1137 from an earlier original on a stone pillar. This map contains the same exact longitude data as the others. It has the same grid and also uses spherical trigonometry.

Modern science knows other "strange" maps, which are united by the presence of geographical objects unknown at the time of their creation and the incredible accuracy of coordinate values. These, besides those listed, are Dulcert's portolan (1339), Zeno's map (1380), Yehuda Ben Zara's "Portolano", Hadji Ahmet's maps (1559), Mercator's maps (1538), Gutierre's maps (1562). .), Philippe Boucher (XVIII century).

But the most interesting thing is that I have not seen Australia on any map! And Antarctica has a different shape and is twice as large as modern. The mainland is so large that it rests on South America and almost reaches Africa. And the northeastern borders of Antarctica exactly copy the northern borders of modern Australia. Well, isn't it suspicious? We must finally muster up the courage to admit that the history of the geography of the Earth and the chronology of events in reality look very different.
