15They knew there were no bears. How they knew is beyond me, but they knew.
@BowsacNoodle Same way they knew the circumference of the Earth, they had some pretty smart dudes
@BowsacNoodle There was a Greek explorer who went very very far north but I can't recall his name
@BowsacNoodle or maybe, just maybe, there were ancient records that were destroyed in various fires.
I think they were naming it after the Bear constellation which would be prominent up north. But I’m guessing you can’t see it at the south pole. Maybe just a happy coincidence that it also lines up with where polar bears do and don’t live. 
I didn't find what I was looking for but this is Socrates:
Also I believe that the earth is very vast, and that we who dwell in the region extending from the river Phasis to the Pillars of Heracles inhabit a small portion only about the sea, like ants or frogs about a marsh, and that there are other inhabitants of many other like places; for everywhere on the face of the earth there are hollows of various forms and sizes, into which the water and the mist and the lower air collect. But the true earth is pure and situated in the pure heaven—there are the stars also; and it is the heaven which is commonly spoken of by us as the ether,

@BowsacNoodle the greeks learned this from ancient outpost ruins of the finno-korean hyperwar

@BowsacNoodle The ancient greeks assumed the world was not put together by random chance, but with purpose, and rules.
And so, they reasoned abuout Antarctica. They were lucky, too.

@BowsacNoodle Well they had probably been to Agartha

I'm too autistic to let that slide.
The prefix "ant" when prepended to a word just means "opposite of the other thing."

@Wolffkran @BowsacNoodle much more than pretty smart. Geometry is actually sick as shit because it basically underlies a huge portion of math and it starts with "ok you have a ruler and a compass .. " and the whole point is just making mathematical proofs, but physically, not abstractly.
@pepsi_man @BowsacNoodle this explains ants
@BowsacNoodle Because the Agarthan's told them. Duh.
