World’s FIRST Map of Ancient AFRICA Will Shock You

The only thing more Bizarre than a Massive network of Lakes, Rivers and even a DENSE FOREST the size of Texas in the middle of the Sahara Desert - Along with numerous cities, settlements and even Castles blanketing virtually the entire region of the Sahara…Is the realization that these Lost 600 year-old maps literally annotate these geological features Several thousand years prior to their modern Scientific discovery. How could they have possibly known of the existence of the Green Sahara 5,000 years before us?

That’s a gross misunderstanding of African history. We see evidence of people in Northern Africa from 8,000 years ago, and that when the desertification began, we see those people moved east into Egypt where they could remain because of the river. It’s not that someone moved from a lush land and decided to stay in the desert, but they left a land quickly becoming a desert and found and land that was holding strong against the desertification.

My question would be what was happening between 15K and 5K years ago climatically? Before that time half of North America was under glacial ice. The Amazon was supposedly a Savanah. Where was the Gulf Stream? Was warm moist air being funneled over northern Africa? From where? As the glaciers of the north collapsed for whatever reason and the north warmed, did the proto gulf stream shift away from Africa? Did this cause the drying of Africa and the greening of the Amazon?

Dear Jimmy, Not sure if you will ever see this comment, however I just wanted to thank you for sparking my interest in the ancient history again since the school. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and nothing about the ancient Egypt has been more inspiring and fascinating than your presentation and commentary on this channel. The reason I’m writing this comment now (which probably is the first one I’ll leave under one of your vids) is that thanks to your content I actually decided to visit the Egypt by myself, and it was one of the best experiences ever for me! Being on the Giza plateau was a dream come true, and felt like seeing something straight out of a movie. I also decided to go inside the great piramid (even though our tour guide strongly advised against it as there was apparently „nothing interesting to see there”). I was amazed to see the precision and oddness of the whole structure with my own eyes. However the weirdest part happened just before the great gallery, as the FRICKIN LIGHTS WENT OFF, so everyone had to rely on their phone flashlights in the pitch dark pyramid shafts. How crazy is that??? And what are the odds of this happening precisely when I was there? (Unless this is a common occurrence, but the tour guide was quite surprised to hear about it. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to get into the ancient world, and visit the actual pyramids. I’ve experienced something out of this world which will stay with me for ever and it’s all thanks to you 🙏🏻

14:20 I'm a native from Portugal and I think I can explain this "cyclops" appearences. We were the first people to successfully cross from Europe to India by sea and during those times the caravels would sink near these land-water straights ('Cabo Bojador', 'Cabo Negro', 'Cabo da Boa Esperança' and the most relevant one is the 'Adamastor Giant' that I'm going to talk about here). In our history textbooks it says something along the lines of "sailors tought 'Adamastor' was ONE of the one-eyed giant that lived on ONE of the cape's that would sink the caravels in our explorations around 1500~, now scholars believed it was the shallow waters and rocks that would carve the bowels of the ships", all that can be verified if you read "Os Lusiadas" which was written arround 1570 (coincides with the maps date) by the first successful sailor to pass all of the cape's "Vasco da Gama". So most likely this depection was a warning for sailors to not go near land in that straight has one of the giants would sink you.

[@misterhistory1635]

I might add some theory: It is interesting that most of the maps appeared after 1453 - the fall of Constantinople. Few years back I visited Florence again for a conference and visited an old Palazzo. There was a tapestry depicting 1453..where the leaders of Florence had invited the leading scientists of Constantinople to find a safe haven in Florence after the raid of the Turks. You could clearly see the scientists in a caravan coming towards Florence carrying wagons of books and rolls of paper. As Southern Germany and Northern Italy had tight business, cultural and scientific exchange (both former part of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations) , it is no surprise that the map makers of Southern Germany got information about the knowledge of Constantinople. It is no surprise that after 1453 suddenly the Renaissance started in Florence as ancient knowledge from (East)Rome reappeared in Europe again. But how did Constantinople got this knowledge? This has to do with two factors: first that Egypt had been part of the Roman empire from 30 Before Christ till 641. This means that definitely scholars from Constantinople exchanged knowledge and script rolls within the empire. Second in 644 one of the biggest catastrophes of Human history occured when Caliph Umar ibn al-Chattab as the new emperor of Egypt had all scripts and rolls and books of the library of Alexandria burn. It is said that he concluded that the new Quran would hold all knowledge God needed man to know. And thus all books which were not the quran would hold evil knowledge or unnecessary knowledge. The library papers were burned for more than 6 months...In this time important maps and scripts where smuggled to Constantinople. And as we know from Bright Insight's other video about Atlantis, ancient knowledge going back even 10,000 years bc was stored in the libraries of Egypt....This is my theory why Southern German maps from the 15th century hold old egyptian knowledge :)

[@TamaraJohnBlue]

Well thought theory. Thank you.

[@iliaselbouhali3920]

Cool theory, although one would need to add that the story of the burning of books on ordrance by Umar Ibn Al Khattab is not concrete history, rather a topic of disputes. But the Byzantenes most certainly took books to Constantinople before Alexandria was conquered by the Muslims. One should also add that Andalus also contributed immensely to progress and renaissance in Europe.

[@user-zl1eu3zy5r]

I believe that, to solve the puzzle of what happened to the ancient forests and hydrographic network of Northern Africa, one may have to go back to Immanuel Velikovsky. Velikovsky postulates that a series of cosmic catastrophes took place in historical times, 34 and 36 centuries ago (that is, during the Bronze Age). The fact that these happen relatively close to our age also explain the almost total amnesia mankind has suffered since then: firstly, because human civilizations were almost entirely wiped out; secondly, because it is an ancient trauma that we cannot come to term with. In my view, Velikovsky’s great merit lies in his interdisciplinary research method: looking at archaeological and geological evidence, as well as the evidence of historical texts. He points to the numerous genealogical inconsistencies and holes in our histories, exactly as if mankind’s memory was wiped out several times in the past, and each time we had to try to piece it all back together, but with fewer and fewer pieces of the puzzle after each cataclysm. It's hard to comprehend the forces that could cause a continent-size area covered with lush forests, rivers, and lakes (like what you describe Africa used to be) turning into a gigantic desert in just a few thousand years, unless one considers the possibility that earth’s axis and its astronomical directions may have abruptly changed due to cataclysmic astronomical events. Such events could have caused pole shifts and massive geological displacement of earth’s crust, indescribable destruction on the surface, including massive electrical discharged, gigantic fires, flooding, typhoons, etc. After such cataclysm, as Velikovsky describes, the North and South poles may have moved to where the tropic used to be, and what used to be the tropical belt would now be frozen and baren land. Just look at a familiar example: we know that if the Gulf Stream current was somewhat interrupted or deviated, Western Europe would be like Northern Canada and Scandinavia would be under permafrost, imagine a scenario where, not only one major current, but earth’s entire geography is totally rearranged: New poles, new equator, new seas and continents, new atmosphere, new solar system configuration and new orbital trajectory (new sun?)! With such upheaval and geological changes, the desertification of North Africa becomes quite plausible, just as the ice-free Antarctica depicted in the Piri Reis map suddenly makes sense. If what Velikovsky proposes is true, such massive disruptions would have occurred at least twice in the last 36 centuries, but perhaps many more times, if we consider smaller events. But what if we go back 120, 240, 360 or more centuries, how many such astronomical upheavals has the earth survived? The official geological records of the last 100 million years looks like a roller coaster ride with huge swings at regular intervals and abrupt extinction events. Of course, it’s difficult to take what ‘scientists’ say at face value due to the Global Warming cult and other immutable dogma. The point is, our planet’s ancient history appears to have been extremely tumultuous, up to our historical time. It may be very difficult to solve the North African historical puzzle, without adopting a method akin to Velikovsky’s interdisciplinary research approach: finding and studying what ancient legends/myths and written texts say, conducting multisensory satellite observations of specific areas, once an point of interest is spotted, doing excavation of the sites, etc. For example, I would try to find these hydrological basins and locate the coastal areas that are adjacent; these must have significant traces of human development, if what the ancient maps show has any validity. We know we haven’t uncovered much of Egypt’s ancient secrets, imagine what lies beneath the 9 million km2 of the Sahara (an area 12% larger than the continental US)? One can hope that it would be possible to do this type of research with some African nations, if not now, perhaps in the near future.

[@songofthemist7443]

Excellent comments although unfortunately if we are heading into yet another earth moving catastrophe we are going to be set back once again to start again.

[@randomyank7777]

Pole shifts could account for such a catastrophe . The disruption of all current flows , air & water , globally , along with the raising & lowering of land masses .That would account for cities buried under mud , under water , in lakes & oceans . Add to that , the foolishness of destroying the Library of Alexandria twice , by Muslims , & Constantinople once , by Turks , mankind tends to get very large holes our history . Pole flips , an incline to 90 degrees , then back to current , would do the same damage , but the land masses would be relatively the same , just highly barren for a long time period , from the ocean salt of 1000 ft. tidal waves . There is evidence for this , every 12K , & 6K years . 2040 to 2050 is the next one . Academia would have us believe no flood happened , & that everything important happened in the last 5K years . No . There were global civilizations , long before that .

Desertification happens _VERY_ fast. There was a cool TedTalk (in the early days of Ted) about the process of reversing desertification using and dictating the feeding patterns of heard animals such as sheep.

I have actually seen several of these before. They’re all findable online. After Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse, I googled ancient maps and would review them before falling asleep. I fully believe our ancient ancestors knew more than archaeology gives them credit for. They knew more and did more than we have been told. I believe these old maps used even older source maps from the ancients for their content and that’s where the 10,000+ year old content shows up on the maps.

Doesn't it make you wonder why they tried to exterminate us? Wiped out our memories when they took our ancestors children and forced them into residential schools where they brainwashed them, raped, beat religion into them😢 now most natives today think they are white with white God beliefs because the settlers have also been hiding our history since day one and making us believe we are white like them! atlantis is part of our history and it's been hidden for far too long. To this day they (govt) still stealing children and putting them in white foster homes where they continue to brain wash them, t and sterilizing native women to prevent them from carrying life for future generations.

There's a difference between something being unknown and something simply never being brought up in the mainstream education system. They don't need to hide ANYTHING they simply need to keep your attention on other things. As he said in the videos, many of the maps are made by known ancient cartographers. So they're apparently not "Unknown" in the cartographer hobby-ist/academic world. But if the academic world unanimously are either paid to ignore these specific few maps of theirs or willingly mock them and ignore them for whatever narrow minded reasons, then who else can we rely on to bring these up in schools?

Because ancient paper was very brittle with a short shelf life it was common for ancient manuscripts and maps to be copied by hand, often in monasteries. When we are looking at an old map it’s quite likely it is based on an ancient original. There’s no telling how old the original might be. No doubt, there may be more detailed versions in the Vatican Library or The Cairo Geniza. So much of what we know as history has been “lost”, or more precisely, curated to create a narrative.

The city of Sais is where the Rossetta Stone originated from and also is where the 10,000-year-old records of Atlantis were according to Solon the great Athenian law giver. This could have been where the ancient maps were kept.

I am a terraformer working in Egypt on a project to turn the Sahara green. I work as a consultant with landowners who have thousands of sq acres of desert land, and I show them how to terraform it to become grasslands and forests. Based on historical accounts and geological features, we discovered that the southern section of Egypt use to be a huge grassland with huge lakes just 500 years ago. I myself saw mummified cows lined up along a road in the middle of the desert in what was once a grassland during the Roman times. What had happened is that the Nubians (one of the oldest Christian nations ) were taking care of cows in that area and their stewardship was keeping the grasslands alive. But then, after the Arab invasion, the Bedouin tribes attacked the Nubians constantly for hundreds of years, destroying farms and taking people as slaves. This constant assault pushed the Nubians closer to the Nile regions where it was safer. When the Nubians were pushed out of the Lake Toshka area, the cows died off and the grasslands started to die off too. Now, the area is devoid of a single blade of grass (except around the New Lake Toshka shore, fed by over flow from the Nile floods, due to government engineering) . The temperature is almost unbearably hot outside of the Toshka Lake Basin, and there are small sand dunes everywhere. But we are working hard to turn it back into a grassland. Humans created the desert. So we should be the ones to fix it

They have certainly admitted that the Sahara is undoubtedly home to many lost cities and other archeological sites. They just don't really think about the consequences of that, I think. It's not unlikely that less than 5000 years ago there were still some areas drying out and hence inhabited perhaps as recently as 2000-3000 years ago. But like the civilizations of the Amazon, which they also denied existed for a long time, as soon as nature took over the sites would have been completely lost very quickly.

The sahara was made lush and tropical because the Gulf Stream used to hit the North West tip of Africa bringing Monsoon type conditions similar to India and South East Asia. After the Great flood when so much land like Dogger land and the Med became submerged the Gulf Stream was dragged further North by- passing Africa whilst ending the Ice Age in Northern Europe. Without the monsoon type rains the Sahara quickly dried up.

Maybe Atlantis was there, but it has always looked to me to be a natural formation. To me it looks like water flowed in to form rings or more likely a spiral, but people could’ve built on it when the water level started to drop. They also could’ve built on it when it was just forming and then the water started to rise uncontrollably and caused a great flood and carried everything out to the ocean. Once the waters subside there was nothing left but the natural swirl structure they built on.

Now, if we want to find the really old settlements, follow the oases and dig.

So I asked AI about it, it told me not to worry. In the event of a nuclear strike or any catastrophic event, the safety and preservation of ancient relics and antiques depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances and mitigation measures in place. While it's true that some ancient relics and antiques are stored in the pyramids of Egypt, it's essential to note that not all artifacts can be accommodated or appropriately preserved there. Many valuable artifacts are located in museums worldwide, including the Museum of London. Museums often have stringent security and conservation measures in place to protect their collections. These measures include advanced security systems, climate control, fire suppression systems, and trained staff to ensure the safety and preservation of the artifacts. Furthermore, the pyramids of Egypt, while historically significant, may not offer the same level of protection and conservation capabilities as modern museums. They were created as tombs and may not have the necessary infrastructure to safeguard artifacts against various potential risks. In the event of a nuclear strike or any major disaster, safeguarding artifacts becomes a priority concern for museums and cultural heritage organizations. They create emergency response plans, employ specialized experts, and implement strategies to minimize damage and ensure the protection of valuable objects. This can involve relocating artifacts to secure off-site facilities or taking other necessary actions depending on the circumstances. Overall, while the pyramids have played a significant role in preserving ancient relics for centuries, museums like the Museum of London and others use advanced techniques and technology to ensure the safety and preservation of artifacts under various circumstances, including potential nuclear strikes.
