The moon map theory
There are many who theorize the moon is a "reflection" or a sort of a photograph of earth. Their method to this theory or observation requires some photo manipulation, including mirroring a picture of the moon and working with the contrast to amplify regions of the moon to make it appear as a map with continents. When lining up the continents to earths continents on a flat earth map, only about 25% of the moons surface matches, and some of the land masses seen on the moon map represent continents that sunk, such as Atlantis. It is theorized that the rest of the patches on the moon surface image represent land masses beyond the antarctic ice circle.
