How old is the Vedic Civilization?

Piri Reis Map is the name given to an ancient map found in the pocession of the Turkish Admiral Piri Reis in the 16^th century. Piri Reis had written on the map that it had been drawn during the time of Alexander the Great. Examination of the map shows many peculiar features. The map shows the shoreline of the Americas. It shows the Amazon and the various rivers flowing from the Andes mountains and are marked on the map as they would be to an observer on a ship. The coastline matches between 4 Deg S & 40 Deg S latitudes.  The Piri Reis map shows the Queen Maud land of Antarctica in an ice free state. It shows  a large bay at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River in Spain; there is a delta in this region now. The Guadalquivir is not a large river and does not carry sediments hence it must have taken a very long time for the delta to form. The map also shows many islands in the Aegean sea which are not shown in modern day maps.   The question is why would a mapmaker who had drawn an accurate map suddenly create islands in the Aegean sea or invent the coast line of Antarctica? The longitude is mapped accurately on the map but the latitude is off by many degrees.  It can be deciphered that the map was drawn during the last ice age when the sea level was low and there were indeed many islands in the Aegean sea which have become submerged now. It can also be  deciphered that the map was drawn at a time when Antarctica was not covered by ice.  Antarctica remained ice free till 6000 BC and hence the map must have been drawn prior to 6000 B.C.  Many 16^th century maps showed a large land mass near the South Pole. Since high level of map making does not evolve overnight it is safe to say that ancient civilizations existed prior to 6000 BC. From a source that is different from the Vedic texts we can prove the existence of ancient civilizations. Then, why don’t we remember the ancient civilizations or find any remains from these civilizations? To be able to answer this question we must examine some clues from the last ice age and re visit Earth’s precessional movement again.
