![]() ![]() Antarctica was mapped when its coasts were still free of ice. The Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Not only were these unknown people more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th Century, it appears that they mapped all the continents. Working with his students over a period of seven years, Hapgood has discovered evidence that many of these maps must have originated in a civilization in some ways much more advanced scientifically than Europe in the 16th Century, or than the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, and Babylonia. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars, the so-called Portolano charts of the Middle Ages, and in other maps until now thought to have originated around the time of Columbus. Hapgood has produced the first concrete evidence of the existence of such a civilization. They have even claimed that this lost civilization was almost as advanced as ours today. Some scholars have long claimed that a world civilization existed thousands of years ago - long before Egypt. ![]()
