LOST 500 YEAR MAP(S)! Show RIVERS in MIDDLE of SAHARA DESERT

I’ve recently come across multiple 500 year old maps that are so interesting, yet so bizarre, in that I cannot understand how I’ve never seen, or heard of these before...as these maps show something in the middle of the Sahara Desert that is not supposed to be there…

Awesome video! Never heard of this! I just revisited ‘Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings’ by Charles Hapgood, 1966. Ancient maps were top secret possessions that enabled trade monopolies. Hapgood reveals that the earth was surveyed in ancient times. He documents that Antarctica was mapped before it was covered with glaciers. Interesting and highly technical subject but it becomes clear that the round earth was mapped with longitude and spherical trigonometry long before the Greeks started writing history. There’s a video or two in that book!

[@Scottyrock1000]

Considering that rivers flow to the sea from a beginning or headwater rather than from the sea, I would be looking at the source. I would also consider continental uplift and crustal fracture areas. As far as the old maps go, many map features were copied from even older maps because there was no reason to believe that those features such as rivers or other natural structures no longer existed unless the cartographer saw it for themselves and traveled its length. A map maker of those days would simply copy or redraw an entire world map and just add the new features to it. Thats just my two cents worth. Have a great day!

[@gaiasguardian205]

[@lw7967]

Exactly! Not only that, a lot of people didn't even know how to read or write. They may have told a story and someone drew it and maybe added a few things here and there. I don't doubt the landscapes have changed but it needs to be investigated with the science we have now.

[@Palahume]

That's a good point... Which further suggests that the Sahara desert was a lush greenland 😁

[@HobbyOrganist]

Plus back then Columbus was feared would fall off the edge of the earth, a lot of the older maps look like they were drawn by a child on the side of a potato, with hardly anything actually looking like it really did, and a lot of guesswork. Easiest way to verify any of this is go to the middle of where that massive sized lake supposedly was and start drilling with a drilling rig and pull up some cores, who knows how deep the sand is, it may only be 20 or 30 feet, even if the sand was 1,000 feet deep we have drilling cores from Greenland taken deeper than that, if there was a lake there the core would prove it.

Jimmy. I'm a strong believer in what you are doing. I am a disabled Air Force Veteran and have two degrees (RTF) and MBA Data Anaytics, so please trust me and at a minimum just look at each and every link I'm going to put here. This is at a minimum another whole video for you. Just look at this stuff. First, remember Atlantis was 10 kingdoms. So, was it a confederacy (think old south), or more like the Union (centralized). We don't know, but I think there's strong evidence that America was founded by them. This video here isn't useful as a resource, but he's going to say some very important things, so you need to suffer through it (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZzUi6yBd5ujjsk). Now, you should understand that Aztlan is Atlantis And, these links are one's you actually can use for evidence. 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_underwater_formation 2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztl%C3%A1n, 3. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztl%C3%A1n#/media/File:Aztlan_codex_boturini.jpg (don't forget to read the caption at the bottom).

Since watching your videos I've been studying ancient maps. So far every place in Africa (only continent I've checked so far) shown on the piri reis map has actual ruins of these places that can be found using Google earth. Not sure if they have all been excavated at all but still really cool to see how accurate and true these maps turn out to be. If I'm ever able to visit these places I'll be sure to investigate. Your videos have certainly broadened my knowledge of our ancient past. Much thanks!

Yeah, I think I know what's in the next one, and it isn't new. But it is fascinating. I think the most fascinating thing of all is old maps of Antarctica which, if accurate, show what it looked like before it became a giant ice cube. I don't understand how that would work - if it were warmer, the sea level would obviously rise from the melting ice. But in ancient times, it appears the sea level was lower and many ancient sites are now submerged. Maybe warmer in the south but colder in the north?

@@Wilphart when the earth opened up and the waters of the deep came up here, and some other stuff...

[@Wilphart]

@@craigthibodeaux5530 "Fountains of the great deep," actually, at least in the KJV. I heard a theory about that, that a tectonic plate - the crust - slid under another one and the hot mantle shot up to fill the gap. This theory explains continental drift happening much more quickly than other theories, culminating with the Indian subcontinent crashing into China to make the Himalayas. And supposedly, this crust-mantle inversion would have caused the ocean to shoot up into the sky. Fountains of the great deep. I can't remember the source for that, though. But even though I believe in the Biblical flood, a lot of things found are much older than the Biblical flood, even. Some theories have debunked the Greenland meteor as the cause of the younger dryas period, but whatever caused the younger dryas was probably a similar cataclysm to the Biblical flood. I just can't place Atlantis in the timeline. If it happened before the flood, as it appears to have taken place, why would survivors of the Biblical flood remember that in particular if the whole world was reset? And if the Biblical flood destroyed Atlantis, why pick out Atlantis when the rest of the world suffered the same fate? And I don't think it happened afterwards due to lack of information. And if it is the Richat structure, it happened long before the Biblical flood based on what evidence is left. I just can't piece it together.

[@atlantic_love]

It's not a structure You're implying someone built that. If you actually watched his video you'd know that it's a result of volcanic activity that resulted in land being pushed upwards. Also climate change resulting in the evaporation of nearby water masses.

[@faerieSAALE]

In the movie, SAHARA with Matthew McConaughey, ancient dried-up river systems were mentioned in the film - and it was for him to figure out which one an Ironclad submarine from the Civil War had used to haul stolen gold bullion. A satellite survey was done a while back to locate old trade routes and lost cities, and what surprised the scientist were the images of a vast network of rivers that no longer flowed. I read about it in Archaeology magazine. Yes, old maps like those shown here, are an excellent resource for archaic information that academia no longer teaches.

Clive Cussler knew. He wrote about it in a 1992 novel titled "Sahara." In the novel, a Civil War era ironclad ship supposedly steamed up one of the last vestiges of these river systems before they completely dried up. If you don't have time for the book, they made a move of the story (same name) in about 2005 featuring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz. Very fun story, and apparently pretty historically insightful as well. ...1992!

A map that was produced 4 - 500 yrs ago does not necessarily reflect the landscape at that time. They are quite likely to have been drawn using much earlier "source" maps. If a cartographer was known to have travelled to the interior of Africa and witnessed these rivers first hand, then that would be a different matter.

[@OGPatriot03]

Which is what makes it so fascinating, the Early source maps even show Antarctica which is why it was on some maps before "being discovered" in the modern age.

[@Lusa_Iceheart]

Yeah European cartographers never went into the interior of Africa so they must have been using a map someone else made. Perhaps they were all based on one map that purposely used fake landmarks, a tactic map makers used to see if people copied their maps. But the variety, quantity and age range of these maps suggests that they weren't all copies from one source. Possibly from a source kept by one of the costal African tribes that like the Portuguese delt with. Explorer's going around the Cape would have asked about maps or drawing of the interior that they couldn't travel. I bet that's where the common source is.

[@rumobin]

Eratosthenes was one of the first to try and cartograph the known world around 250 BC. He lived in Alexandria and simply asked traveling mercheants. With distances and directions he could connect certain dots to a map. The result is quite impressive - but also not quite accurate. I assume that late medieval cartographers took an inspiration from such maps. In this case these rivers are most likely hearsay...

[@haroldwilkes6608]

Human curiosity prevailed. North America tribes traveled hundreds of mile on rivers before 1600, why wouldn't Africans? A map scratched in the dirt from a native could explain the detail shown on these maps without the Europeans getting their feet wet.

For hundreds of thousands of years the ocean levels were about 500 feet lower. Thousands of cities were built around the coast coastline that are now deep underwater. We have to wonder what the grandest ones looked like. I understand that the greatest may be at Malta and then there is Atlantis which was probably in the Bahamas.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

I'm not sure much would be found under Antarctic ice, it's a polar ice cap so I wouldn't have thought that it was ice free long enough for humans to inhabit it, given how difficult it is to reach, unless the Earth's poles have shifted in the past. The Sahara on the other hand, I think could be hiding a massive treasure trove of archaeological finds, it's just the sand that keeps us from discovering any of it. Edit* when I say the Earth's poles have shifted I am not refering to the semi regular polar shifts/flips where the poles flip their south/north magnetic alignment, I am refering to a literal change in their position; currently the poles spend most of their time away from the sun so they manitain ice better than the rest of the planet, should the Earth's rotation have changed in the past to a less stable rotation where the poles have a more eratic/drastic 'wobble' it's possible that the poles would have seen more sun, melting the ice. It's so possible that the polar caps lost a majority of their ice during the extinction events that killed the majority of Earth's biodiversity but humans didn't exist then so it's very difficult to believe that anyone built anything lasting there. That's not to say that interesting archaeology wouldn't be found there, animal remains etc, possibly, but nothing that enlightens humanity to our own past. Tectonic plat shift could play a role, if the landmass under the antarctic ice was once closer to the equator, it's possible (although highly unlikely due to how long this process takes; geological plate movement is quite a slow process) that something very interesting could be found there, but not regarding the human species or even our closest gaeneological ancestors.

It's important to note that most maps at the time weren't drawn from scratch, instead they built on top of previous maps. So if someone drew the senegal river wrongly because they didnt went too far inland to see where it goes, and then other mappers used that wrong information to build their own maps, it's likely that the river would appear in many many maps. This actually happened a lot in those days with islands. Theu were called "phantom islands" because they appeared on maps but didnt actually exist.

[@lepterfirefall]

Exactly....one map shows a made up route which then gets replicated by following map makers. 🤔

[@roberthickerty390]

Also because of geographical and climate changes old routes can easily have been there but disappeared because ofthose influences. There was not just one ice age but a succession of them which would create huge changes to topography. Tie that in with tectonics and axial tilt and it boggles the mind just how much that once was is gone or newly created. I remember a number of years back a NASA mission took radar images of the Sahara and found indisputable evidence of lakes and rivers under the sand that corresponded to some of these old maps. There is a very old map that shows fairly accurately the coastline of Antarctica before it was covered in ice and at a time when supposedly humans could not sail there! There are old maps showing islands that no longer exist but considering that rising sea levels after the ice age could innundate these lands does not mean they never existed. Krakatoa blew itself off the map about 100+ years ago and is only recently coming back but if the hot spot had moved would it have been gone for good? So much we don’t know coupled with so much hidden.

[@roberthickerty390]

@Jake Wilund this is a discussion of theories and clouded history. Check out some of the ancient maps done by the Chinese that were pretty accurate. In the 17 and 18 hundreds seafarers used older maps and charts and constantly added to and updated them regarding reef, shoals and changing coastlines. Many explorers drew maps that were semi accurate or based off local knowledge and belief so much could be speculation. Interior Africa remained unmapped until only a hundred years ago or so.

[@Tom-ej8eg]

400 - 500 years ago the the international cartographic community had little, if any, real-time intelligence available to them, relating to the interior of the African continent. All of the maps in question were drawn from earlier source maps. We know that river systems once existed beneath the Sahara. This knowledge would date these earlier "source" maps to a time prior to 4,500 years ago; probably much earlier. Remember, cartographers were not explorers. They seldom (if ever) ventured far from the office. They drew their maps based upon hundreds of local, and regional, maps, notes, and observations, relayed to them by hundreds of people in the field. People they would probably never meet; or ever have the opportunity to debrief. Basely, cartographers did the best they could using the data that was made available to them. One possible way to date this earlier source materiel might be done by comparing the longitude of north/south river beds, shown on these maps, and comparing that information to actual subsurface river beds. If the longitude shown on these maps is accurate, then an antediluvian date could possibly be given to the earlier source material, as the ability to calculate longitude was not rediscovered until 1751.

[@jzero4813]

Yeah, this video seems a bit confused about the level of technical sophistication that existed in cartography at that time. Maps were certainly not accurate or to scale - at least not anywhere near the level of accuracy that we're used to today. Explorers got lost in Africa all the time - knowing where you were was extremely difficult at the best of times. Bringing that information back was even harder. I don't think this is the big mystery that this video is trying to make it out to be.

Then drawing their eyes from the chin. And the chin from their eyes after. Then you blend it all together. . The geometry alone takes natural talent we dont even teach today. Cartography is a skill that borders on various studies like art, mathematics, astronomy. Aside from that. I agree. What is under all of that sand?! Egypt alone has countless studies that suggest 90% of its history is buried under sand. If we performed a proper geological study.

So yes, I can easily believe that those rivers all existed just 500 years ago. As a West African, I believe that overgrazing (caused by cattle nomads) is what triggered the Sahara. Do your own research. You'll see that everywhere in the world where deserts exists also had some form of nomadic pastoralism. According to archaeologist David Wright, the arrival of nomadic pastoralists from the Middle East 8,000 years ago, corresponded with the changes in the type of plants in North Africa. Many farmers in West Africa are saying the same thing as David. The desertification of the region was human induced.

Now, 22 years later, the Younger Dryas is almost widely accepted-there are hold outs, but the point is that Cussler was dead on correct. Cussler is scary smart. In 1975, when he wrote Raise the Titanic, he forecasted that the ship would be found in 1985, and he was dead on right about that.

The sources of these maps are interesting. The famous Piri Reis map which you didn't mention also shows Antarctica along with the east-to-west Saharan river. At the time these maps were being made, all the European cartographers knew of Africa was what the Portuguese explorers had discovered setting up trade routes along the coast of Africa on their way to India; they knew the coast with fairly high fidelity. But, the African interior is and would remain a mystery for Europeans as a result of disease for nearly 3 more centuries and the invention of quinine for malaria. Now, Arab traders had thoroughly explored the Sahara as part of trade from various Islamic countries, through Egypt, and out to the African empires of Mali and West Africa. Those trade routes were well established centuries before those maps were made. The traders would've known for certain there was no river, but would have known every oasis and watering hole in the whole desert as a matter of survival. It's clear the Europeans never talked to these people. So where did the cartographers get the information to fill in the interior of Africa? Apparently, the cartographers stated that they filled in the "unknown" parts of the world from other, older maps which have since been lost to time (paper doesn't hold up well across centuries without meticulous preservation efforts). So, we're dealing with a multi-century if not multi-millennia game of Telephone and it turns out, this one was pretty accurate, though the time scale details were lost. In terms of archaeology, you're spot on to look at Northern Africa as a prominent source of humans. We have extensive cave paintings from North Africa still preserved from that era (carbon dating of the paint they used). They show what looks like savanna animals: pretty lush and fully capable of supporting hunter-gatherers or a more organized civilization perhaps. Will we find further evidence? Likely not skeletons. Why? The climate of that period would've been like that of Brazil, very unfavorable to the preservation of remains. So, unless they were building with stone, we'll have no record of wood-based buildings or any kind of bone, leather, or similar handcrafts. We have the sphinx because it was built in limestone, for example. We'd have to find more cave stuff, or run into something rare and unusual, like a tar pit or something. One of the things I thought about was how revolutionary LIDAR has been in the rainforests of Central America and Brazil. It won't penetrate sand though. You'd need radar (longer wave) or seismography which is much harder to do in a broad survey. If the boundaries of megalake Chad could be known with high certainty, for example, that might help, but its still very much a needle in a haystack type of thing. Interested to see your 2,000 year old map!

Thanks, history is quite controlled for many reasons. You and others are doing a great job explaining to many to question more and don't believe all we are fed.

Another excellent video Jimmy. Older maps and ancient ones, are a key to our history and our future

[@tannerotis]

When talking about old maps and the mystery behind them there is nothing more intriguing than the Mercator map among others of the North Pole region pre1800. It’s no wonder the poles are off limits to exploration.

In order for Atlantis to be where you say it is, elevation levels and water tables would have had to undergo drastic change over the past several hundred (and thousands of) years. That would explain these rivers.

Jimmy, I've got a globe that shows similar anomalies, as well as stranger ones in my opinion. I'd love to send you some photos. If you have an email you're comfortable sharing, I'd be happy to do so. My name is also Jimmy, btw. Love your work.

Magellan's Map of the World from his voyages in 1519-1522, shows a huge river going West to East into the Sahara Desert. I always found his map fascinating.

[@barbaraherda9212]

Thanks for that. Didn’t know, checked out Magellan, what a voyage. I wondered why they took Pacific, but apparently Portugal controlled the Indian Ocean at that time. Crazy, cause Portugal just doesn’t have the land mass like the romans did… And coming back, one ship of two remaining tried to retrace thru Pacific again and failed, the other went the Indian Ocean route - did they think they’d be safer from Portugal rule now that it was almost 4yrs later? Regardless, they made it to Spain. It’s clear that navigation already fairly established by that time, imo. It was hard trying to find maps that Magellan actually used. One looked like he had a north pole oriented map, like Alex Gleason. So interesting how our ancestors were way more advanced than many are willing to give credit…

Problem is those 16th century maps show inaccurate depictions of Niger river and its tributaries. It's South of 17°N latitude, but drawn so badly it looks like it is positioned way more North. Plus the shape of river is wrong. But location fits...and if it wasn't mean to show Niger then it'd be very weird that they would miss such big river. Nevertheless on google earth you can can find where those dried up truly saharan rivers once run. And biggest of them was at some places 2 km wide, and in some even 5. It did exist. (And run not that far north from Eye of Africa). Just not no longer in 16th century.

Those maps are similiar to the one of Antartica before it was covered in ice that I have seen. Great video, and looking forward to part II.
