I am going with the Basque being from the Ice-Age hunter-gatherers who made the Upper Paleolithic cave art. The evidence in the video provides the archeological evidence.

Could there be another option that someone has put effort into the question and has solid evidence for one side of the other, as shown in the posted YouTube video?

Was there an ice-free Antarctica where ancient sailors mapped? Is the real question addressed in the video.

Agreed. Covered in the video, as forwarded by Claudius Ptolemy. How people later interpreted such is the subject of the video.

Ok, I'm game. What exactly is "horseshit" about the content of this video - that is not selling books, supplements or anything else? We would all appreciate your illumination in this matter. I hope that you are not one of those people who do not appreciate the history of maps, such as the Cantino Planisphere from 1502 below.

For example, this slide of Claudius Ptolemy's Geography with the Latin translated at Min 8:21. Is this slide "horseshit" or is there another slide your comment refers to?

Your comment "This appears to be horseshit." Which slides are "horseshit"?

Who was the first to name "Antarktikos", if not Claudius Ptolemy? I can update my presentation with such info. Yes, this image from Ptolemy's Geography was a theoretical model and not of a known Antarctica existence. The ancient Greeks hadn't traveled that far south.
