Advanced Civilizations

Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt.

Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost.
