In 1929, a group of historians, whilst searching old documents in Constantinople, found a map on a dusty old shelf hidden away in the archives. It had been painstakingly created on a piece of gazelle skin.
Research has since confirmed that it is a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet during the sixteenth century.
His passion was cartography. His high rank within the Turkish navy allowed him privileged access to the Imperial Library of Constantinople, from whence he obtained ancient source maps which enabled him to compile an archeological wonder, today known as the Piri Reis Map.
The Turkish admiral admits in a series of notes he wrote on the map that he compiled and copied the data from a large number of source maps, some of which dated way back to the fourth century BC and much earlier
The map was of immediate interest as it accurately portrayed the coastlines of South America and Africa, at their correct relative longitudes and latitudes. As the map was dated 1513, only 21 years after the official discovery of the Americas by Columbus in 1492, it seemed improbable that the map was compiled from cartographical data obtained by Columbus. The legend on the map itself in fact, gave it a source far older than 20 years, revealing that it was a section of a world map composed from more than twenty source maps, some drawn in the time of Alexander the great.
Despite the mystifying problem that the map included accurate longitude measurements – a task deemed impossible until the invention of the chronometer in 1760, there was something else displayed on the map that made its origin and history even more perplexing.
The Piri Reis map, in addition to accurately charting the coastlines of western Africa and eastern south America also included a third continent in its cartography. This map accurately portrays the coastline of Antarctica – a continent supposedly undiscovered until 1820, over 300 years after the maps creation!
However, the mystery doesn’t end there. Not only did the map illustrate accurately the coastline of Antarctica, it illustrated the coastline when the continent was ice free. Only recently, with the aid of satellite technology and GPS mapping, have science and cartographers managed to accurately plot the actual coastline of Antarctica minus the ice. However, if one were to superimpose the Piri Reis map over a modern map of an ice free Antarctic coastline, one would find the outlines almost identical.
But this presents a massive problem for historians. According to recent geological surveys of ice samples taken from Antarctica, the last time it was free of ice was between 6,000 and 12,000 years ago. So whoever created the source maps used by Piri Reis, must have had detailed knowledge of not just the area during this period – a period when, according to mainstream historical accounts, advanced civilizations did not exist – but advanced knowledge of navigation, cartography, and sophisticated mathematics.
Furthermore, not only did the source maps accurately depict latitude and longitude, but also included a mercatorial projection. A mercatorial projection is a geometric formula used to account for a 3D globe being represented as a 2D image. Such high levels of geometry had not been seen since the time of the Greeks and it was not until the work of Gerald Mercator in 1569, that European’s began to include a projection for the curvature of the earth into their maps.
In all probability, the discovery of the Piri Reis map should completely discredit mainstream historical accounts of the origins of modern civilization. Moreover, historians of integrity should be questioning official accounts and investigating the possibility that hitherto unknown highly advanced societies most likely existed thousands of years before our current historical accounts were formulated.

Alien Sighting Flancy, France. A group of friends were hanging out when they had a close encounter with an alien being. Luckily they were able to capture the experience on camera. As they were standing around a small fire they noticed something moving in the trees behind them, one of the friends throws down a lit branch close to the area of movement and that’s when you see a small grey alien peeking out from behind a tree. The alien then disappears, never to be seen again.

A closer look at seemingly drab, transparent insect wings has revealed a plethora of magnificent color, visible to the naked eye yet overlooked for centuries. The colors are most evident against a dark background. Against a white background, they’re invisible. The researchers think the coloration has specific functions, particularly for mating, just as it does in butterflies and beetles and other insects with better-appreciated markings. (Source)

Alien Attack (1976)
Huge UFO ‘ spacecraft’ caught on NASA ISS live stream
NASA cut the live stream of the international space station after they spotted a “cigar shaped object,” which is believed to be a UFO, floating near the ISS on March 5, 2016.
Witness states: After switching to the NASA ISS live stream channel a clearly defined UFO appeared in the upper left hand corner, above the horizon. The witness was able to take a total of 4 screenshots before the live feed was cut by NASA, the live feed was left down for nearly an hour.
The UFO appeared near the ISS at 1:21 p.m. central European time, 5 April 2016. Mufon case 75648.

Above is the image of what appears to be a large UFO above earth which was photographed on-board the International Space Station (ISS) by the Astronaut Scott Kelly of what looks like a very clear unknown craft, that was soon dismissed by NASA as part of the ISS (they would say that) but now Scott Kelly whilst on a live TV interview recently, has very calmly admitted about existence of Aliens above earth.
Scott Kelly at the time of his NASA interview, was discussing about his time in space, when he suddenly broke out with what may be one of the biggest disclosure bombshells EVER! Please watch when it gets to about 20:10 on the video (link below).
He said:
“I think coming back to Gravity is harder than leaving Gravity SO….I don’t know, maybe the ALIENS have got it a lot easier than we do"
