Antarctica
TBB you've left out stuff.
"The ship was trapped in ice and sank, camp's untenable, we only have an open boat, and we're hundreds of miles from help," Shackleton: "Hold my warm beer." One of the most incredible survival stories ever.

Also no mention of Hitler's Antarctic Hannenbau UFOs ;) and supply U-Boats washing up as late as 1947...
VJ i watched that Shackleton movie. Absolutely incredible story.
& for TBB, something stone age that hints at a connected global world over 10,000 years ago + a bit of stone age tech for when the skies didn't behave:

if only we could accurately see that far back.
& again a bit off topic, but yes, they had precision drills and lathes that could cut stone very efficiently:

Wonder what the power source was...

Yep the bit that blows me away is when they land after this ordeal, they then walk over South Georgia and it's glaciers and mountain ranges thousands of feet high and damn cold and windy to boot!
some bright spark has made a 3d printed "Endurance,"

Awesome TBB, I would not doubt their vision capabilities. My Ms grew up on a big farm, without too much TV distraction so her eyes were calibrated "further out" - always amazed what she could pick out - never really won a game of animal spotto driving either... "Wedgey, 30 points to me, 5 games to none now." "Where?"
Also have a look for 'way finding' - the way Polynesian navigators used the feeling of swell direction to navigate, it's phenomenal.
Lastly, with my eyes, I was working on a radio tower in Tassie on a very clear day - I knew the shape of the mountains in the distance, so with the map, worked out I could see a quarter of the state in the panorama - south, west and north.. One of the more remarkable days at work. Imagine what the indigenous Tasmanians would see...
Oh yeah, Bruny, did you see the view from the cliffs at the S side of Adventure Bay... wow.
TBB, an old friend of the family claimed the Egyptians had maps of Antarctica found inside the pyramids thousands of years old.The only thing I could find in relation to ancient maps of Antarctica is The Piri Ries map.
V J interesting article, the possibility of "ultrasonic machinery" regarding building the pyramids.
You guys got any interesting info regarding the Gympie pyramid?I've heard a story.Is it a hoax/conspiracy or were the Egyptians in Oz?
The Aboriginal cave paintings on Wessel Island,thousand year old African coins found??Indiana Jones stuff...cheers
re: ultrasonic machinery, here's a hypothesis:
could be true
could be woo
would be fun to test out
Gympie pyramid is just a hill with some old stone terracing that created some gardens for wine viticulture at the end of the 19th century
Edit. It’s now part of (or soon to be) the Gympie bypass of the Bruce

The wreck of Shackleton's ship, Endurance, has been found after being crushed in sea-ice and not being seen for 107 years. She is 3000m down and is INCREDIBLY well preserved:
Incredible story, and gobsmacking that they've found the ship in such great condition.

That’s amazing the snowless land and unfrozen fresh water lakes. Is this permanent? Never heard of this before. Seems hard to believe
Wow, incredibly preserved.
Yeah the story of that Endurance wreck is amazing. To still be in that condition after all this time is mind blowing.
Incredible. More than a 100 years at 3000m.
Just getting started on Ranulph Fiennes' Shackleton biography. Should be good.
Footage of the ship's last day on the surface. It's been reconditioned, and looks like yesterday. Given the ship is so well preserved, it's like time travel seeing this.
