Description

Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age Charles Hapgood presents a compelling case for the existence of an advanced global civilization in the distant past. He has uncovered evidence in ancient maps, including the Piri Reis Map, which shows Antarctica, and other remarkable cartographic works. Hapgood's research suggests that these maps were created from even older, now lost, maps from various ancient archives around the world. The maps in question appear to have been made by a people who were significantly more advanced in their scientific understanding than their European counterparts in the 16th century. Notably, these ancient mapmakers are believed to have mapped all continents, including the Americas thousands of years before Columbus. They also mapped Antarctica when its coasts were ice-free, and there is evidence to suggest that they lived during a time when the Northern Hemisphere had not yet ended the ice age. This book provides a fascinating look at the history of cartography and the possibility of a previously unknown advanced civilization.
