Synopsis
Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back in print after 20 years. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. 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 concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost. 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. 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. The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Antarctica was mapped when its coasts were free of ice. There is evidence that these people must have lived when the ice age had not yet ended in the Northern Hemisphere and when Alaska was still connected with Siberia by the Pleistocene, ice age "land bridge."

    This is my second attempt. The book was on time, defensively and successfully wrapped, in better condition than described! Marvelous. I left it open, turned the pages every few days ( near an open window). The described mustiness is gone. Wonderful seller! Appreciated purchase!

    Hmmm

    Amazing maps, interesting theory. I need to read at lease one more time. Still thinking about his book. Neither those for nor against his theory can prove Hapgood right or wrong. Science only sees evidence. Verbal history and items made of natural materials don't survive harsh climates. Fires, Genghis Khan and other groups almost wiped out early Western writings. So we will never know for sure. If nothing else, Hapgood makes me think, wonder what the world really was like and what really happened all those many years ago.

    Good title .

    The book is very nice with lots of maps . I'm open minded but I don't agree where Hapgood is going with this . A matter of opinion I guess .

    Fascinating reading!

    A fascinating examination of many ancient maps that indicate that the map creators had a greater understanding of the Earth and the mathematics required to render such accurate maps. Many of the topographical features of these maps indicate their origins are in a very distant past.

    Startling to read.

    A very thought provoking analysis of where these old maps may have come from.

    Makes a good argument for human history starting earlier than the presently accepted timeline.

    3rd or 4th time I've bought this. Gets borrowed, but never comes back.
