 Golden models that look like jets—complete with elevator flaps on
their wings— found in ancient Aztec ruins. | A Trophy
Reu recieved a similar model as a trophy for his flying "origami" competition. |  | | Buache Map
 The Buache Map is an eighteenth century map prepared by the French geographer, Philippe Buache, in 1739.
The Buache map shows two southern continents separated by an interior polar sea with two straits on either end (Hapgood 1979, Figure 53 and page 19 of FOG). The "Interior Sea" is centered on the South Pole and its axis, including one strait, lies roughly at a 90 degree angle to the north-south axis of South America. The larger of these continents forms a 220-degree arc that surrounds the Interior Sea. A large peninsula juts northward near one end. For the sake of discussion, it is called the "Large Continent." The smaller continent, which is called the "Small Continent" lies with a flat side across the concave side of the Large Continent separated by two narrow straits and the Interior Sea from it. Except for the large peninsula of the Large Continent, the northern edge of both continents lies generally south of 50 to 55 degree south latitude.
| From the Library of Kemet
The original source material for the Buache map was provided by the volume entitled “Hydrographic Treatise of the Great Discovery’s Urbat: Cartographs and Surveys of its Circumnavigation with Southern Transpolar Passage” by Captain Phaxâd and Chief Cartographer Peleg, originally placed in the collection which later became the Library of Alexandria.
Later, Greek and Egyptians cartographers 'corrected' this map using their own, slightly inaccurate global measurement.
Of course, all was lost in the fire of the Alexandrian library in 48 BC. | | More Info: | | Piri Reis 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. | 500 Years
There are almost 500 years between Great Awakening and the time when Abram left Ur. This is more than ample time for surveyors or explorers to create rudimentary charts of the world's land-masses and waterways.
Just think what has happened in the modern world during the last 500 years. | | | |
