One map in particular matches up pretty nicely from historytoday.com

The shape of Antarctica looks pretty close to the lotus flower.

Now what if that lotus flower from the Ming Dynasty is photoshopped onto this South Pole chart?

And now let’s animate between Antarctica and the lotus flower

Hmmm, maybe that’s one giant frozen lotus flower at the bottom of our planet!
