#1
The claim that the lower part of the map portrays the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land Antarctica is reasonable. The geographical detail shown in the lower part of the map agrees with the results of the seismic profile made across the top of the icecap by the SwedishBritish Antarctic Expedition in 1949.
#2
The best evidence suggests that Queen Maud Land, and the neighboring regions shown on the map, passed through a long icefree period which may not have ended until about six thousand years ago.
#3
The Piri Reis map, which is a genuine document, was made at Constantinople in AD 1513. It focuses on the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. It is not possible to pinpoint the earliest date that such a task could have been accomplished, but it seems that the Queen Maud Land littoral may have remained unglaciated for at least 9000 years.
#4
The evidence of a lost technology supports and gives credence to many of the other hypotheses that have been brought forward about a lost civilization in remote times. However, no further scientific research has been done into these anomalous early maps.
