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.”

Revuew of the Charles H. Hapgood book "Maps Of The Ancient Sea Kings"
By mrmawg
My copy of the Charles H. Happgood book "Maps Of The Ancient Sea Kings" arrived after being on order for about two weeks. It was packaged well and was in mint condition. I've just recently begun to read this book because it provides a lot of excellent information on a subject that I have only recently begun to investigate seriously, which is the very high likelihood that our beloved home planet has been host to numerous advanced civilizations in millennia past. Remnants of these civilizations lay underground and under water all over the face of the planet yet we still are being taught that all of these vast ruins "just happened". Why do our supposedly "learned scholars" simply ignore what is so obvious? This book is providing me with a lot more excellent information on Earth's past (even before the end of the last ice age).

Compelling Evidence of Ancient Civilizations
By Zach
Dr. Charles Hapgood's remarkable "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" gives compelling evidence of ancient civilizations that existed before any civilizations that we know of. There were, still are, individuals in the academia communities that dismissed many legends and myths that tells of such civilizations as only imagined stories by our ancestors. In this book, the author has studied the copies of ancient maps to which he comes to some fascinating conclusions that there were civilizations that dominated most of the world in the far, distant past and they were quite advanced but they had vanished.
This is a book that goes for more than 300 pages, with eight chapters, loaded with technical and pure scientific information as well as the illustrations and maps that persuade the reader of the strong possibility that such an advanced civilization (if not a few) has existed a long, long time ago, on our young planet. They also knew a great deal of our planet before we did.
Personally, I found this to be the most interesting work because of its facts and pure research. Indeed, it's very technical but interesting reading, nevertheless.

It's Wrong, but I Loved It and Still Read It
By R. Jones
The central premise of this book has two parts. First, the portolan maps (like the one on the cover) that came into use in medieval Europe were not a new advance. These portolan charts, Hapgood sets out to prove, are the rediscovery of ancient maps that required a great deal of geographical and mathematical knowledge. This leads into the second part, Hapgood asserts that the geographical and mathematical knowledge was far beyond not only the medieval sailors, but the ancient Romans, classical Greeks, Carthaginians, and even the Phoenicians. The extraordinary claim of the book is that only a race of "ancient sea kings" currently undiscovered by modern society were capable of making these maps.
Hapgood's theory about the portolan charts being copies is very believable. It's very fascinating too. He shows the grotesque maps of the most educated medieval scholars and then he shows the shockingly accurate portolan charts. The maps advance or change little for several centuries after the earliest maps. Even more impressive are the inaccuracies of the maps. If a person makes a map, the areas nearest them should be the most accurate while the areas farthest from them should be the least accurate. However, the portolanos show the opposite! On several navigators' maps (including Columbus) their _homes_ and their discoveries are the _least_ accurate parts of the map. This is symptomatic of someone trying to add their own patch to a quilt that was made with skills far beyond their own.
Hapgood then creates an odd definition for the portolan maps. The average portolan, if you look through them, has a very accurate Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, Western Europe, Black Sea, Asia Minor, and a few of the Atlantic Isles. Each map tends to have its own unique errors, added by the mapmaker. Hapgood discards these errors as additions and views only the accurate portions of the map as coming from the true portolanos and thus the ancient sea kings. The problem with this is that there are a few errors that are common to almost all portolanos. Two people can investigate the same area independently, and come back with identical, accurate maps. Two people can be identically right, without ever meeting. However if they come back with maps that have identical inaccuracies, then one of them must have copied from the other.
The common errors should have been the best clue as to true authors of the portolanos, but Hapgood ignores them as aberrations, even as they continue to appear on map after map. Hapgood includes a map from China that doesn't show Europe, a map from Europe that shoes deformed, abstract art China, and a Map from North Africa shows a warped China _and _ Europe all under his broad field of ancient maps. His theory is that the warped parts of the map are later additions, while the accurate parts of the map are copied from the maps of the ancient sea kings. The whole book is fascinating, it's beautiful, I learned so much from reading it, but Hapgood's bold theory is supported by flawed research.
Hapgood begins to attribute some of the errors on the maps to rising sea levels. He points out that if these maps are ten of thousands of years old, then perhaps they were made when the sea levels were lower. It becomes apparent that Hapgood subconsciously hoped for this ancient civilization, and let his conclusion direct the research. Atlantis fans praise this book and the portolan hypothesis, but if you trace the origins of maps without using "accurate" as a synonym for portolan, it become unlikely that they could have come from Atlantis.
First consider which areas in the portolanos were shown in what way:
Accurate across all the maps:
-Mediterranean Sea, North Africa, Western Europe, Black Sea, Asia Minor, a few of the Atlantic Isles
Depicted in the _same_ inaccurate way across the maps:
-Norway, the Baltic Sea, British Isles, Atlas Mountains, Red Sea, Antilha
Depicted in inaccurate, but _different_ ways across the maps:
-Cuba, Greenland, Brazil, Southern Africa, India
Looking at this, it's possible that the "ancient sea kings" who authored the charts went to any of the places not depicted on the maps and any of the places depicted inconsistently across the maps, but there's no way to know one way or the other. It's possible they went to any of the places depicted consistently wrong and very likely they knew of them. It's very likely they went to the places that were depicted with consistent accuracy. This paints a portrait of a sea faring civilization that traveled the Atlantic Ocean, Black Sea, and Mediterranean. This also fits with the way the Sahara is represented. The mountains are illustrated as a barrier that separates North Africa and the Sahara from the Atlantic Coast almost to the Nile.
While the inaccuracies can vaguely point to the where, the accuracies can point to the when. There have been several Earth altering changes in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Atlantic:
16000 BC Sea levels rise over the Celtic marshes connecting England to Europe and create the modern British Isles.
5600 BC The Bosporus is breached by sea waters turning a massive freshwater lake into the Black Sea we're familiar with.
1627 BC The island of Santorini explodes creating it's current unusual shape. (As a fascinating side note, this explosion was a main factor in the fall of the Minoan civilization. Quite a few people believe _it_ is the real inspiration for Atlantis.)
The maps can't be older than 16000 BC, because the English channel is represented accurately, not as vast swamp plains. The maps can't be older than 5600 BC, because the Black Sea is illustrated accurately. The maps can't be older than 1627 BC, because the island of Santorini is drawn post-explosion. It's currently is a c-shaped island and a smaller island that form a ring around the blown out, volcanic peak. It's a quite distinctive shape and on some portolanos (Maggiolo family chart) it's clearly labeled.
That rather vaguely puts the author of the portolanos as living in seafaring civilization that traveled the Atlantic, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean some time between 1627 BC and 1339 AD. I know, pretty vague.
Atlantis may have existed, humans may have landed on Antarctica when it was green, and the portolanos may borrow bits from maps even older than they; but the book is unable to prove it. Despite the fact that I openly disagree with it, it's still very thought provoking. It gives me dreams of wild crusaders discovering maps of America in holy ruins. It's well written and honest. The maps are beautifully reprinted. I disagree with the book and I'd recommend it to anyone.
ONE LAST NOTE:
If you get this, you'd do well to pick up No Longer on the Map, by Raymond H. Ramsay. There are a lot of bizarre and mysterious things on these old maps and Ramsay does a lot to clarify what those oddities are.
THE VERY LAST NOTE:
Even though the portolanos don't appear to be antediluvian check out Atlantis Maps dot com for some interesting explanations for some of Hapgood's Antarctic maps may be.
ONE MORE NOTE:
Some one recently pointed out to me a 1492 map by Jorge Aguiar. I said that I didn't believe the portolanos were older than 1627 BC, because Santorini/Thera is drawn in its crescent shape. In the Jorge portolano where our crescent shaped island should be there is a larger, fatter island with several outer bays. If that is an accurate portrayal of pre-explosion Santorini it would make the maps much older, but still younger than 6000 BC.
