Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings
Charles Hapgood
This book produces a convincing argument for the existence of an advanced worldwide civilization that flourished many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. Based on cartographic evidence from several maps long known to scholars: the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and many others, Hapgood explains how these maps were likely copied from even more ancient versions which are now lost, and consequently that Antarctica was mapped by highly proficient navigators when its coasts were free of ice – tens of thousands of years ago.
