Antarctica was mapped when its coasts were free of ice. The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Not only were these unknown people more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th century, it appears they mapped all the continents. Hapgood also concluded that the ancient mapmakers were in some ways much more advanced scientifically than Europe in the 16th century, or than the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, and Babylonian. Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars, the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and other amazing maps. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back in print after 20 years. |
