Thank you raremaps.com/ for supporting another video! Their maps and descriptions are a huge part of the research and visuals that go into these videos. You can purchase your own map of the northern polar regions from their website. - raremaps.com/

The world's history is completely different from what we know as truth.
-
The original map is correct, there is a giant black rock at what we call the "North Pole." It's at the center of the world, that's why the company "Blackrock" named itself after it, it wants to be the center of our world.
-
Eden is the center of the map, where a river flows into the garden dividing into 4 rivers. It's right there in front of you.
-
Black Rock is the North Pole. Very interesting.
-
I remember seeing the North Pole with a large ice mass on maps covering it and now it’s not there anymore.

Blackrock... One of the biggest and most powerful companies in the world. BlackRock is a global investment management firm that was founded in 1988. The company's clients include governments, central banks, pension funds, and individuals. BlackRock is known for its expertise in asset allocation and risk management. With a total asset under management (AUM) of $10.1 trillion as of March 2023. There are also rumours that families like the Rothschilds have shares in Blackrock. We all know about the Rothschilds... Where did they get the idea for the name? Coincidence?

How in heavens did I not come across this channel before! Your videos are exactly the kind I keep looking for but never quite find. Quite a misfit in what sells on YouTube but truly what I yearn for. Its got everything - maps, geography, history, culture, and most importantly - seemingly unfateful trivia! Thank you for this! Thank you! 🙏

I love looking at Maps with Lower sea levels.. you can see how much more land there was in there north.
-
I believe the old maps over the modern ones any day. These maps were clear detail of the land and what inhabitants were on them lands. Mysteriously modern day maps dramatically shrink Antartica.

Like Augusta Picard, Jacques Cousteau's Father, saw from the Stratosphere in 1931. It's on the UN Flag. The Old Maps are correct. North Pole is the radius point of Earth. The Ice Wall is the Circumference/Circle of the Earth.

love these old map videos
-
Excellent research and presentation, many thanks.
-
a problem. if the region was purely based on romours, how did he charter the land in such precision and accordance to other maps of the time?
-
An Old Pirate/Viking tale said once said, a land far far away had 4 rivers, and 3 of them flows outward, and one inward.
-
Why is the North Pole blurred and censored on Satellite imagery?
-
Ancient copies of even more ancient maps.from a time when continents, mountains were born and the sea levels were different by hundreds of feet. Before the waters came into the Mediterranean and made a sea , before the Caribbean sank under the waves leaving only islands . Before Australia was cut off by rising seas and Antarctica was verdant land.

Be sure to check out the story of the Bock Saga by Ior Bock. The Central Core is Asgard and the rivers are also known as the Rivers of Atlantis. According to the Bock Saga, Atlantis was not an island, but a time period of people.The origins of many of today's countries are also discussed.
