Very interesting and thought provoking youtube video!
Hi The oldest living culture in the world say you stop talking so much nonsense. TP
I don't know about an ancient civilization in Antarctica, but I hope this "global warming" thing hurries up because I am going to mine there when the ice melts.
I think you should try to keep an open mind to the possibilities. If people were like you being that skeptical to all new theories then we'd still believe the world was flat. I'm not asking you to be naive and accept all theories as facts either. Just don't be so quick to judgement.
"Antartica has been under snow and ice for 34 million years."
Wow! You're such a smart guy! Can YOU prove this statement?
From Wikipedia:
History
The icing of Antarctica began in the middle Eocene about 45.5 million years ago[7] and escalated during the Eocene–Oligocene extinction event about 34 million years ago. CO2 levels were then about 760 ppm[8] and had been decreasing from earlier levels in the thousands of ppm. Carbon dioxide decrease, with a tipping point of 600 ppm, was the primary agent forcing Antarctic glaciation.[9] The glaciation was favored by an interval when the Earth's orbit favored cool summers but oxygen isotope ratio cycle marker changes were too large to be explained by Antarctic ice-sheet growth alone indicating an ice age of some size.[10] The opening of the Drake Passage may have played a role as well[11] though models of the changes suggest declining CO2 levels to have been more important.[12]
The Western Antarctic ice sheet declined somewhat during the warm early Pliocene epoch, approximately 5 to 3 million years ago; during this time the Ross Sea opened up.[13] But there was no significant decline in the land-based Eastern Antarctic ice sheet.[14]

Do you believe everything you read? BTW, I posted the short video because I thought it was interesting, not because I believe or disbelieve it.

Those interested in this sort of thing should look into something called "Crust Displacement Theory", developed by Charles Hapgood and allegedly endorsed by Albert Einstein. Hapgood's book "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" is all over this Antarctica as well as some other cool stuff along these lines, and is a great read for both the believer and skeptic alike. I count myself on the skeptic side, but anything is possible.
Believe it or not, my nephew frequently flies scientists to Antartica. There they hot-melt drill core samles and, yes, they can date the ice using radiometric isotope dating. The neat thing about scientists is they make careful measurements, publish their work, have peer review pressure, but then other scientists can build on the information. This is the basis of knowledge. Not making crap up.
