Ancient History / Cartography / Lost Civilizations
Charles H. Hapgood’s Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings: Evidence of Advanced Civilization in the Ice Age, the scarce 1966 First Edition published by Chilton Books.
A fascinating and controversial study of ancient cartography in which Hapgood examines the Piri Reis map and other early maps as possible evidence that sophisticated geographical knowledge existed far earlier than traditionally believed. The work explores ancient navigation, lost geographical knowledge, Antarctica, early world maps and the possibility of an advanced prehistoric civilization.
This original First Edition is extensively illustrated with historical maps, diagrams and cartographic reproductions and retains the impressive large fold-out map, an especially desirable feature of the original edition.
Hardcover. 315 pages. Copyright 1966 by Charles H. Hapgood. Copyright page explicitly states First Edition.
Black cloth boards with silver spine lettering. Binding remains intact. Pages show normal age toning. Previous owner’s name written on preliminary page. Exterior shows shelf wear, rubbing and light marks consistent with age. No dust jacket present. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition.
An increasingly collectible original edition of a landmark alternative-history and ancient-cartography work, particularly appealing to collectors of early maps, exploration, lost civilizations, ancient mysteries and unconventional archaeology.
