Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood PDF

Charles H. Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings is a widely-cited book about decoding the projection of the Piri Re'is map and other old maps which seem to have too much detail and use accurate longitude at a time when European explorers (except for the Norse in Greenland) were just beginning to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Hapgood believes some of the maps are copies of maps made before the last ice age, preserved probably at the Museum or Library of Alexandria and passed on through Constantinople into modern Europe.
