Product Description

Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back in print after 20 years. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilisation existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars. Hapgood concluded that these ancient mapmakers were in some ways much 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'.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely an essential refference book, Sep 25 2008

By	Rick M. Pilotte "Author of Earth, Man, & Devo... (Victoria BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While doing my research for my work I kept coming across this man's work being refferenced to. It soon became apparent this was a key book and I had to read it to continue my research. I could not find this book in any second hand store and felt very lucky to find it in a library. I had with great anticipation finaly got the book in my hands and I was not dissapointed. No doubt this book is hated by conventional geologists and other branches of science...because it is so explosive. they ignore it but if you're looking for the truth, don't ignore this one.
Folks if you do not have this book, buy it! I cannot say enough about this book. You will NOT be dissapointed. But you had better have an open mind because he will trash conventional geologic theories. (then get Earth in Upheaval, and Worlds in Collison by Immanual Velikovsky and see some curious confirmation)
First and foremost this man shows absolutely irrefutable evidence that the earth changed during recorded history! ( and even Einstien was electrified by this mans theories and evidence.) This book absolutly destroys current chronolgy in relation to the continental drift theory. Oh... It confirms the continental drift theory allright, but it destroys the dating used to establish it.
One of the main features of this book is of course, Antarctica. This continent was proved to not exist by Captain Cook! Why did Cook prove Antarctica didn't exist and why did he suspect it did exist? It's worth the price of admission just to find this out!!! ...and then there's Greenland! Wow what a book!
This book destroys current theories and anyone with the willingness to look at facts just simply has to have this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you say spherical geometry?, Mar 7 2008

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This book is worth keeping for the pictures alone. At least my copies have color and do look like coffee table books. I do not want to argue valideties. That is up to the author. But there is no other book that really covers the Piri Reis map. It seems to have disappeared form the Internet. I have been able to find a few other references now and then like other people mentioning that fact that Columbus did have a map case of sorts.
The story goes that the crew was not afraid if falling off the end of the earth but that Columbus was a poor navigator. All this flat earth stuff is much later than Columbus. The map he had was a composite and he missed his landing point. However no one else is as enthusiastic as Charles H. Hapgood is. As far as who got to the west first, it seems that anyone falling in the water would turn up here. So what is the big deal? The deal is that maps such as these are the tangible proof that others have done so.
As far as the secondary proofs as building styles, any 101 architecture class will tell you that with similar building material you get similar structures. The one information that is hard to dismiss is the artic coast line accuracy.
People may agree or disagree with conclusions drawn but the five star rating is for an excellent presentation and making people think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended--for the Critical Thinker, Jan 12 2004

By	Trint Williams (Springfield, MO USA) - See all my reviews

It's hard to find a richly detailed and respectably scholarly work of counter-establishment ancient history. This is one.

Hapgood leaves me behind at the end by lapsing into the discredited 'pole shift' theory (and he plugs his other book on that topic). But the bulk of his book sticks closely to the maps, and Hapgood's scholarly and detailed analysis of them. He argues that maps ranging from Ptolemy's to some made during the Renaissance are actually compilations of far more ancient maps. Much of the evidence is compelling, especially the Renaissance maps of Antarctica, which wasn't officially discovered by Europeans until much much later.

At least in this book, Hapgood's work should not be lumped in with other psuedo-crypto-historians like Graham Hancock. Modern historians would do well to reexamine their beliefs about ancient explorers and their knowledge of world geography. The fact is, the maps passed down to classical civilizations cannot be explained with the established history of human civilizations.

There is a good deal of cartographical science to wade through, but it is not overwhelming for the interested reader. Many of Hapgood's references are to material that is clearly quite outdated by now (the book was published in 1966). One of the least gassy books on lost history for the critical thinker.
