“In the regions beyond the land of the Celts there lies in the ocean an island no smaller than Sicily. This island, the account continues, is situated in the north and is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are called by that name because their home is beyond the point whence the north wind (Boreas) blows; and the island is both fertile and productive of every crop, and has a temperate climate.” - Hecateaus of Abdera
Let's ignore the typical alien conspiracy master race stuff and focus on references to Hyperborea according to real historical figures.
The Greeks cited Hyperborea as a mystical place beyond the north; Where the sun shone for 24 hours a day. The earliest mention of the continent was from the Greek philosopher Herodotus'. Who recorded his findings in 450 BC. (More citings can be found here: https://www.theoi.com/Phylos/Hyperborea.html)
In addition, maps were made by cartographers who compiled information they had gathered from explorers and geographers.
1492 Martin of Bohemia Globe
1565 Americae Pars Borealis
1570 Ortelius Europe Scandinavia
1587 Urbano Monte's World Map
It's interesting to note these maps paint what we call Antarctica today, as a continent separated by four rivers.
More information will be added as I find it.
