Seeing these two posts next to each other on my blog draws a connection between the shape of Antarctica and the shape of a lotus flower.
1991 print of Antarctica
14th-16th century print of lotus flower
If these two images look rather similar, what would a reverse image search for the lotus flower turn up?
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!
