Why Ancient Maps Show Lands That Don’t Exist

But what if the oldest maps on Earth are showing us places that shouldn’t exist?

Ancient charts from Europe, China, and the Ottoman Empire all depict strange continents and islands that no modern satellite can find: mist-covered lands like Hy-Brasil, the elusive Frisland, vast Atlantic and Pacific landmasses, and even what looks suspiciously like Antarctica drawn long before its official “discovery.” Some of these maps are so detailed, so strangely consistent across cultures, that dismissing them as simple mistakes only raises more questions.

In this episode of Secret Origins, we dive into the cartographic rabbit hole:
the Piri Reis map that seems to show Antarctica without ice, phantom islands that appeared on maps for centuries then vanished, Chinese sea charts of forgotten Pacific lands, and the controversial stories of Mu, Atlantis, and Professor Hapgood’s theory of Earth crust displacement. Were these errors, lies, illusions or echoes of a very different Earth than the one we know today?

Why did so many mapmakers from different eras and civilizations draw the same “imaginary” lands?
Were they copying from lost source maps created by advanced, unknown cultures?
Or did they preserve the last traces of continents and coastlines wiped away by cataclysm?

Did the ancients know more about our planet than we do today?
You decide.
