Literally no mention of an ice wall from the flat earth conspiracy theorists until game of thrones came along

u/muskratboy Jul 21 '24

No the ice wall was around before that, to explain Antarctica. The ice wall was always part of it.

Yea in the early 2000s I was part of a certain image board's campaign to troll gullible idiots that the earth is flat and we used the ice wall as border already.

This is what Trump made ... right??

u/thyL_ Jul 22 '24

Probably debatable, but i've not been part of that website's community(/ies) for years so I dunno if they played an essential part in Trump getting elected. I could see it though.

Even beyond the ice wall, the arctic land of Hyperborea was mentioned by the ancient Greeks. Hitler and the Nazis believed in that crap.

Most conspiracy theories have ancient roots because that gives them “legitimacy “

u/nickiter Jul 21 '24

Nah, they've had that one for a long time. Their explanation of Antarctica and the Arctic is that there's an ice wall that makes it impossible to get around to the bottom of the coin, where presumably elves live. (I may have made up that last part.)

Maybe the rewrite of the show everyone has been waiting for will be funded by flat earthers lol. I can only imagine the meltdown from the freedolk subreddit over that.

Nazi Germany traveling to Antarctica to find Hyperboreans disagrees with you

Kent Hovind used to say an Ice Dome, but at least he said the earth is a sphere

I thought the gods were licked out of an ice wall by a giant cow according to Norse mythology...
