  • Was Antarctica Mapped by the Ancients?
    Was Antarctica Mapped by the Ancients? Suggestions that Antarctica was mapped in ancient times by an unknown civilization are speculative. Evidence said to support ancient mapping has mundane explanations. David C. Jolly VERY SO OFTEN, it is suggested that Antarctica was mapped in very ancient times by an unknown civilization. The first antarctic Elandfall is generally considered to have been in 1820, and actual mapping did not occur until later. However, many sixteenth-century maps show a continent at the present location of Antarctica (Figures 1 and 2). To some eyes these depictions resembled the present shape of that continent minus the shelves of ice along its coast. This would imply that the mapping was done either at a time when the ice was much reduced, or perhaps through the ice using sophisticated scientific equipment. These depictions began to disappear from maps during the seventeenth century, and the South Pole region was usually left completely blank until the nineteenth century. The major advocate of ancient mapping was the late Charles Hapgood.1 Later writers of the von Daniken-Berlitz school have suggested that this mapping was done by space aliens.2' Speculations about ancient mapping of Antarctica were given a boost in 1984 by an article in the New York Times that approvingly described a work that had just been published by John Weihaupt,4 5 a geologist at the University of Colorado at Denver. He had concluded that modern geophysical evidence shows that the coastline of Antarctica several thousand years ago would have resembled maps of Antarctica printed during the sixteenth century.

  • 1 Paper Revised 2/19/2015 the Letter Below to Professor Bryan Sykes
    Paper revised 2/19/2015 The letter below to Professor Bryan Sykes was never acknowledged. Information on Akhenaten and the Exodus is below. It seems that Akhenaten had a second career as Abraham, Ramses I was Moses, the Chosen People were Egyptians from Akhet-Aten, the Hebrews not slaves but conquering rulers,…and, Akhenaten was a Big Brain Hominid, not a human. Books that are very useful include: Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood, Big Brain by Professors Gary Lynch and Richard Granger, The Enigma of Cranial Deformation by Brien Foerster, and Underworld by Graham Hancock. I will also add to the list, which I will expand later, the Jefferson Bible, a thin book on the ethical teachings of Jesus Christ, Akhenaten, The Heretic King, by Donald D. Redford, Akhenaten, Egypt’s False Prophet, by Nicholas Reeves Messod and Roger Sabbah: Secrets of the Exodus, Did the Pharaohs Write the Bible? Gary Greenberg: The Moses Mystery, The Egyptian Origins of the Jewish People. Ahmed Osman: Moses and Akhenaten The Secret History of Egypt at the Time of the Exodus. Professor Bryan Sykes 11/26/2012 Oxford Ancestors Dear Professor Sykes, The entire earth was mapped during the last ice age by an unknown mysterious civilization. Sea level was 400 ft. lower and there was no ice cap over the Queen Maud Land Coast of Antarctica. This is from the work of Charles Hapgood: Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. A brief review of his book is below. In 2008 Neuroscientists Gary Lynch, PhD, and Richard Granger, PhD, published Big Brain, which dealt with the 1914 discovery of a skull in Boskop South Africa.

The United Nations has officially 14 declared 2005 the International Year of Physics. However, the impact of Einstein´s 15 ideas was not restricted to physics. Among numerous other disciplines, Einstein also 16 made significant and specific contributions to Earth Sciences. His geosciences-related 17 letters, comments, and scientific articles, are dispersed, not easily accessible and are 18 poorly known. The present review attempts to integrate them, as a tribute to Einstein in 19 commemoration of this centenary. These contributions can be classified into three basic 20 areas: geodynamics, geological (planetary) catastrophism and fluvial geomorphology. 21 Regarding geodynamics, Einstein essentially supported Hapgood‘s very controversial 22 theory called Earth Crust Displacement. W ith respect to geological (planetary) 23 catastrophism, it is shown how the ideas of Einstein about Velikovsky‘s proposals 24 evolved from 1946 to 1955. Finally, in relation with fluvial geodynamics, the review 25 incorporates the elegant work in which Einstein explains the formation of meandering 26 rivers.

  • Voices of the Rocks
    Acknowledgments MANY PEOPLE HAVE INFLUENCED AND ENCOURAGED ME OVER THE YEARS. I was fortunate to attend George Washington University (Washington, D.C.) as an undergraduate student and Yale University as a graduate student; at both of these institutions I was exposed to many fine faculty members, staff, and students who helped shape my thinking and interests. Since 1984 I have been a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies, Boston University. The administration, faculty, staff, and students at the College have always been supportive of my studies, and I continually find the interdisciplinary interactions with my colleagues there refreshing and exhilarating. Dr. Brendan Gilbane, Dean of the College, has always been encouraging toward my endeavors, lending advice and support, as did the late Dr. Charles P. Fogg, former chairman of the Division of Science at the College of General Studies. My research concerning the age of the Great Sphinx would not have been possible without the help and cooperation of many individuals and organizations. In particular, I thank Drs. Mohamed I. Bakr, Ali Hassan, Zahi Hawass, Elsayed Hegazy, and Abdul-Fattah El-Sabbahy (all of the former Egyptian Antiquities Organization) for permission to pursue geological and geophysical studies on the Giza Plateau. Ahmed Nour-el-Din was extremely helpful during my March 1993 trip to Egypt, as was Nehad Gamal. 1 thank Drs. Gaber Barakat, L. Abdel-Khalek, M. M. El Aref, and Eglal Refai (all of the Faculty of Science, Cairo Universify) for their interest, advice, and help. Dr. Thomas L. Dobecki (formerly of McBride- Ratcliff and Associates, Houston) provided invaluable assistance with the geophysical studies on the Giza Plateau.

  • “The Earth Moves” an Extract from Bill Bryson's
    “The Earth Moves” an extract from Bill Bryson’s ‘A Short History of nearly Everything’. In one of his last professional acts before his death, in 1955, Albert Einstein wrote a short but glowing foreword to a book by a geologist named Charles Hapgood entitled Earths Shifting Crust: A Key to Some Basic Problems of Earth Science. Hapgood’s book was a steady demolition of the idea that the continents were in motion. In a tone that all but invited the reader to join him in a tolerant chuckle, Hapgood observed that a few gullible souls had noticed ‘an apparent correspondence in shape between certain continents’. It would appear, he went on, that South America might be fitted together with Africa, and so on … It is even claimed that rock formations on the opposite sides of the Atlantic match.’ Mr Hapgood briskly dismissed any such notions, noting that the geologists K. E. Caster and J. C. Mendes had done extensive fieldwork on both sides of the Atlantic and had established beyond question that no such similarities existed. Goodness knows what outcrops Messrs Caster and Mendes had looked at, because in fact many of the rock formations on both sides of the Atlantic are the same – not just similar but the same. This was not an idea that flew with Mr Hapgood, or many other geologists of his day. The theory Hapgood alluded to was one first pronounced in 1908 by an amateur American geologist named Frank Bursley Taylor. Taylor came from a wealthy family and had both the means and the freedom from academic constraints to pursue unconventional lines of enquiry.

Call no.: MS 434 Collection overview Daughter of a writer and diplomat, and graduate of Wellesley College, Beth Hapgood has been a spiritual seeker for much of her life. Her interests have led her to become an expert in graphology, a student in the Arcane School, an instructor at Greenfield Community College, and a lecturer on a variety of topics in spiritual growth. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Hapgood befriended Michael Metelica, the central figure in the Brotherhood of the Spirit (the largest commune in the eastern states during the early 1970s) as well as Elwood Babbitt, a trance medium, and remained close to both until their deaths. The Hapgood Papers contain a wealth of material relating to the Brotherhood of the Spirit and the Renaissance Community, Metelica, Babbitt, and other of Hapgood's varied interests, as well as 4.25 linear feet of material relating to the Hapgood family.

Her father Norman Hapgood, was a diplomat under Woodrow Wilson and a prominent editor of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and the Christian Register. Her mother Elizabeth (Reynolds) was one of the first female professors at Dartmouth, a linguist who was instrumental in Beth Hapgood with members of the establishing the Russian department and who served as Brotherhood of the Spirit.
