Product Description
Synopsis
Charles Hapgood's classic book on ancient maps produces evidence of an advanced world-wide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in 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. Not only were these unknown people more advanced in mapmaking than any other prior to the 18th century, it appears they mapped all the continents. The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus and Antarctica was mapped once its coasts were free of ice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you say spherical geometry?, 16 Jul 2003
By B. Chandler "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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.
