The existence of a vast Tartarian empire is supported by numerous historical maps and the travelogues of Marco Polo, who documented the sophisticated administration of Genghis Khan. Anderson references a declassified CIA document that explicitly mentions the removal of Tartarian history from the official narrative. He also cites the work of Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko regarding the manipulation of the global timeline to hide this civilization.

Larry Arnold explores the "cartography of combustion," looking for geographic commonalities among SHC victims. He highlights a specific anomaly in Potter County, Pennsylvania, where Dr. Bentley's death occurred within a triangle of five locations known for strange freezing and thermal patterns. This suggests that geotelluric or Earth energies might play a role in triggering these rare high-heat events in specific locations.

Quasar discusses his research into the Piri Reis map, suggesting that ancient cartographers may have documented the large stones of Bimini while they were still above sea level. This theory, later popularized by Graham Hancock, suggests that ancient civilizations had significant knowledge of the region's geography.

Flem-Ath explains that viewing the Earth from the perspective of Antarctica reveals a single, continuous "World Ocean," matching the descriptions provided by Egyptian priests to Solon. He argues that European explorers like Magellan and Vasco da Gama subdivided this body of water into the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans for navigation, obscuring the original geographic context of the Atlantis story. A U.S. Naval Support Force map of Antarctica is cited as a modern parallel to Plato's description.

Rand Flem-Ath discusses Athanasius Kircher, a 17th-century Jesuit priest who published a map of Atlantis in 1665. Though Kircher interpreted the map as being in the North Atlantic, Flem-Ath notes that when the map is inverted (as south was originally "up"), it bears a startling resemblance to a geophysical map of an ice-free Antarctica. This map accurately depicted landmasses relative to South America and Madagascar centuries before modern seismic surveys.

The Piri Reis map of 1513 is examined for its inclusion of South America and Antarctica with accurate longitude, a feat supposedly impossible for 16th-century Europeans. Flem-Ath asserts that the map shows Antarctic features currently hidden beneath ice, suggesting it was compiled from much older source maps created by an advanced civilization roughly 12,000 years ago.
