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…

I was 15 oder 16 years old. I asked my teacher in school "what, when we dig into the Sahara sand? Do you think, we will find old cities or something else?" He laughed and said "what a stupid question! there is nothing beneath." I never believed him. More than that, I thought, you can HIDE nearly EVERYTHING just under mountains of Sand. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!

The implications of the simple fact, that humanity's ancient past is intentionally obscured, is really disturbing.

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!

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!

I learned about the Richat structure through your channel and I've been fascinated about the history of the Sahara region ever since. You do awesome work!

such an interesting thing how quickly the landscape can change. Just look at how quickly all our rivers and lakes on the west coast are drying up. Most people don't even know the origins of their own city, much less the wilderness surrounding it. I imagine there are more lost things in the sahara than there is sand.

Jimmy I've been watching your content for a couple of years now, I find it not only interesting but right on in most cases. Your one of my favorites and all I basically watch is YouTube. Your Atlantis theory is incredible and makes sense. I inform as many people as I can of your bright insight. I'm excited to see part 2 of this to see if there's more that the previous tip bits concerning you hypothesis. I'm surprised a mainstream media outlet hasn't made you job offers, but than again the company's that own them probably have an agenda to keep the info you talk about under raps. Keep up the work. Most impressed, Carrera

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!

As a person who collects old UK maps & OS maps I found this video fascinating. I will be checking out more of your content. Thanks

i'm 55. consider in my lifetime how much lake chad has shriveled up to nearly nothing. it was still huge around the time of my birth. extrapolating that river back 500 years makes alot of sense for the support of a river system to the west.

[diegoarce]

I am 70 years old. I remember when I was a kid that the maps of North Africa did not show a desert that deep into the south, also I remember seeing the river mentioned going east to west north of now day Nigeria.

How many times have we "learned" that those writing history wrote it to fit into their own narrative. Love the channel, the trips and the conversation.

[creamsodafaygo]

After seeing those maps and after researching history myself I’ve come to the conclusion that our true history has been overwritten. I’ve seen maps around 400- 800 years old showing more continents and more land all over the world. You have to do the research yourself.
I’ll be looking forward to your next video!

I'm from a country in the Arabian Peninsula (Arabia as shown in the maps) and interestingly it also shows a river flowing which doesn't exist realistically today nor is it mentioned in our local history/folklore. This video made me highly intrigued thank you for sharing :)

[KuroSlick]

I've always wondered if the Eye of The Sahara used to be Atlantis before everything became a desert, because it was surrounded by green lands before the Great Flood and the Sahara was green just 5k years ago? Too much coincidence in my opinion.

[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.

[brunoalves-pgeo]

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.

[michaelkaliski]

These rivers still exist and flood to great depths when it rains in the Sahara every few hundred years. A large volcanic eruption may well cool the atmosphere for a decade or so and allow such rivers to exist for prolonged periods due to temporary climate change in the region. There are canyons rivalling the Grand Canyon littered across the Sahara too. So clearly there is no shortage of water under certain climate conditions.

[lisajackson]

I recently read that something like 80 percent of ancient writings no longer exist and that the library at Alexandria was immense, but almost all of the documents are gone.
I believe there are also civilizations, who made early maps that are not necessarily known due to disasters, like floods.
