RE: My View on Climate Change Part 4 - The Maps!!!
I'm glad I got your gears turning! I know this sort of stuff gets me thinking.
As far as I know these maps are legit. The author of the Piri Reis map (which doesn't have longitude) claims that he used 25 older maps as sources. I am pretty sure the author of the Orontius Finaeus map also mentioned older source maps.
It's simply astonishing and will make me rethink many things. And one of them is climate change and the melting of the polar ice caps. This is why I love real history. When I studied history we weren't told that these things were wrong - they were just never mentioned in the books and sources we were steered towards.
I feel like a lot of the misleading that is done to us is through intentional omission. A few facts can vastly alter ones perception of reality.
You're probably right. I studied Scottish history at school and university, yet I escaped learning about the Radical War of 1820, where people were hung, drawn and quartered for campaigning for independence and a fair democratic system of one man, one vote.
