	Charles Hapgood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		During World War II, Hapgood worked for the COI (which later became the OSS and the CIA), and then worked at the Red Cross, and then served as a liaison officer between the White House and the Office of the Secretary of the War.
		Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings used numerous archival maps, including the Piri Reis map, which show a vast southern continent roughly similar to Antarctica in shape, to propose that a 15 degree pole shift occurred 9,500 years ago, and that a part of the Antarctic was ice-free at that time.
		Hapgood's theory was given novelistic treatment in the Hab Theory[?] by Allan Eckert[?].

	Charles Hapgood
		Charles H. Hapgood was a history professor who began, at the prompting of some students, to look into the search for the lost continent of Atlantis.
		Hapgood ultimately revised key parts of his thinking because his calculations convinced him that the mass of the ice cap on Antartica could not destabilize the earth's rotation.
		Hapgood then goes on to mention to two areas where he finds much of his evidence, in data derived from studies of geomagnetism and from carbon 14 dating.

	Hapgood
		Hapgood also believed that the amateur had a much larger role in science than usually recognized, and was aware that most radical discoveries were opposed by the experts in the affected fields.
		Hapgood and his students concluded that the Oronteus Finaeus map was based on an authentic source map compiled from local maps before the ice cap had reached the coast of Antarctica.
		Hapgood and his students considered the possibility good that this was not a result of bad cartography, but rather the influence of an ancient time when the plains of India were flooded and the southern part of the peninsula, ancient Dravidia, was an island.

	Charles Hapgood - Wikipedia
		Hapgood haalde zijn doctoraal in middeleeuwse en moderne geschiedenis aan de universiteit van Harvard in 1932.
		Volgens Hapgood was het buitenste deel van de aarde een onoderbroken korst die tijdens catastrofale geburtenissen in zijn geheel op drift kon raken.
		Met dit boek geeft Hapgood als verklaring op de correctheid van de oude kaarten van Piri Re'is, Oronteus Finaeus, Mercator en Hadji Ahmed dat er nog voor het einde van de laatste ijstijd een beschaving was die geavanceerder was dan de beschavingen tot 1800 na Christus.

	Charles Hapgood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles H. Hapgood (1904-1982) was an American academician, and one of the best known advocates of a Pole shift theory.
		During World War II, Hapgood worked for the COI (which later became the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)), then for the Red Cross, and finally served as a liaison officer between the White House and the Office of the Secretary of the War.
		In 1976, Allan W. Eckert used Hapgood's theory as the basis of a novel: "The HAB Theory".

	Crustal Displacement - Hapgood - Crystalinks
		Hapgood electrified me. His idea is original, of great simplicity, and if it continues to prove itself of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth's surface.
		Hapgood revised key parts of his thinking because his calculations convinced him that the mass of the ice cap on Antartica could not destabilize the Earth's rotation.
		Hapgood speculated that the ice mass at one or both poles over-accumulates which destabilizes the earth's rotational balance, causing slippage of all or much of earth's outer crust around the earth's core, which retains its axial orientation.

	Amazon.de: Path of The Pole (Mysteries of the Universe): English Books: Charles H. Hapgood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hapgood believed that polar wandering was primary and caused the displacement of continents, and that the last shift of the earth's crust took place in recent time, at the close of the last ice age, resulting in major climatic improvements.
		Hapgood felt these processes took place over thousands of years, which in his mind was "rapid." The geologists of his time were adherents of uniformitarianism and suggesting earth changes could happen in thousands, not millions, of years was heresy.
		Nor would Hapgood have used the term 'poleshift' because it confuses the reader into thinking that the earth's axis is altered (it is only the outer shell of the earth's mass that is shifted in Hapgood's theory).

	The Piri Re'is Map
		The conclusion that Hapgood reached was that a civilization with high seafaring and mapping skills surveyed the entire earth in the ancient past.
		Hapgood may yet be vindicated (at least his guess as to the signficance of the anomalous maps).
		In the latter, Hapgood claimed that the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation shifted suddenly in the year 9,500 B.C. causing Antarctica to move hundreds of miles to the south.

	Atlantis Rising Magazine, Hapgood Revisited, New Research Vindicates the Life Work of One or this Century's Greatest ...
		Since Charles Hapgood's book, Earth's Shifting Crust, was published, dozens of articles have been published on a variety of recognized catastrophic geological events.
		The unique feature of Hapgood's theory is the proposal that forces that build up over an extended period of time, have caused the earth's entire crust to slip over its inner core, and that this has occurred repeatedly in the earth's history with disastrous effects.
		Charles Hapgood died in 1983, so he never knew of the discovery, but I think he'd have been pleased that the wrinkles had been ironed out.

	Minds in Ablation Part Five: Charting Imaginary Worlds
		Hapgood claims that "A comparison of all the versions suggests that there may have been one or two original versions, drawn according to different projections, which were copied and recopied with emendations according to the ideas of different cartographers."
		Hapgood was able to make such distinctions only by completely ignoring Mercator's own words, for the map is filled with copious inscriptions naming, quoting, and weighing his sources.
		Hapgood focuses his attention on the polar regions, but he fails to mention one of the most interesting details there on many of the maps he studied, as well as others, namely, four large islands in a ring around the north pole, where no such islands exist.

	Theories on Crustal Displacement
		Hapgood electrified me. His idea is original, of great simplicity, and - if it continues to prove itself of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth's surface.
		Hapgood also indicated that the research was based on an ancient map which showed Antarctica with free flowing rivers, and paleontological data that Woolly Mammoths and other ancient animal species, have been found frozen solid with undigested vegetation in their stomachs.
		Hapgood theorized that the earth has gone through three such crustal displacements over the last 100,00 years according to data gathered claimed the last occurrence was approximately 12000 years ago.

		Hapgood concluded that these ancient mapmakers were in some ways much more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th century.
		Charles Hapggod's examinations of old and ancient maps, such as the Piri Reis map which reveals an ice-free coastline on Antartica, provide a window to a reevaluation of the past.
		Hapgood presents crucial evidence that libraries of ancient Greece and Constantinople held accurate maps of the New World, the west coast of North America, and of the Antarctic prior to the twelfth century.

	The Einstein Connection : Hapgood Letters ~ Troy 6396 - Apocalypse Aerie
		Charles Hapgood first came to public attention in the mid-1950s with his theory of earth crust displacement, a radical geological idea which attracted the curiosity and support of Albert Einstein.
		Hapgood sent Einstein forty-two pages of evidence on earth fractures and the evolution of the ice sheets.
		Hapgood and Einstein continued to correspond and finally met in January of 1955.

	MOM and Oronteus Finaeus Map of 1532
		Once Dr. Hapgood knew he had an authentic map of Antarctica, he proceeded to overlooked, as is later explained, many serious problems with this map being an accurate, although possibly still authentic, map of Antarctica.
		Hancock and Dr. Hapgood incorrectly consider the subglacial topography of Antarctica to be the same as the ice-free topography of Antarctica.
		Hapgood (1966, 1979) tries to avoid this problem by claiming that this map shows a partially glaciated Antarctica with West Antarctica still presumably covered by ice.

	Viewzone: Polar Shift Theories
		The "Shifting Poles Theory" was introduced by History Professor, Charles H. Hapgood, whose fascination with geography and ancient maps led to his re-discovery of the Piri Reis Map.
		On closer scrutiny, Hapgood observed evidence of spherical trigonometry and a detailed knowledge of global geography-- including the coastline of Antarctica at a remote time, when it was free of ice.
		Hapgood had a pretty good idea of what caused this change and he set out to prove his theory of Polar Shifting.

	Maps Of The Ancient Sea Kings Summary
		Charles Hapgood's 1966 release, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, never claimed to be such a book but in my opinion was one that should have caused a greater stir that it did.
		As a lecturer in History of Science for Keene State College and for the US military he could certainly be described as having the establishment on his side, so much so that his earlier work, the Earths Shifting Crust, a set of theories on plate-tectonic movements carried a forward by none other than Albert Einstein.
		Hapgood limits his theory to the facts and lets us make our own minds as to what that actually means, but the conclusions that you will draw will be literally world shaking.

	Nabataean Travel: Antarctica, Discovered Before the Time of Christ?

		Hapgood himself comments that if this was the only evidence we had that the ancients had mapped Antarctica it would be questionable.
		Charles Hapgood maintained that the source maps for Piri Re'is map were themselves based on earlier maps, compilations of which were made at the Great Library of Alexandria (Egypt).

		Author Hapgood, and his devotees, therefore, find themselves in a position better than the Velikovskyites, but in one which, like theirs, has been obviated by the discovery of facts and scientific principles which were not available to Hapgood when he wrote this book.
		Charles Hapgood must be considered as on the mainstays of catastrophism to date.
		The fact that Hapgood couldn't explain the mechanism does not detract from his contribution; just as Newton's work on gravity is not diminished by his inability to explain what gravity actually is. Time will prove Hapgood correct on just about everything.

		Hapgood leaves me behind at the end by lapsing into the discredited 'pole shift' theory (and he plugs his other book on that topic).
		Charles Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings is a much needed scholarly examination of the large number of maps dating from the Renaissance period which seem to show an ice-free Antarctica and accurate depictions of areas thought to have been unknown at the time the maps were drawn.
		Hapgood does not draw fantastic conclusions about ancient astronauts or magical powers, he simply sets forth compelling evidence that civilization is far older than orthodox science thinks.

	World Mysteries - Strange Artifacts - Piri Reis Map
		According to Hapgood's reconstruction, copies of these documents and some of the original source charts were transferred to other centers of learning, and among them to Constantinople.
		Hapgood has proved that the Piri Re'is map is plotted out in plane geometry, containing latitudes and longitudes at right angles in a traditional "grid"; yet it is obviously copied from an earlier map that was projected using spherical trigonometry!
		Charles Hapggod, in 1953, wrote a book called "Earth's shifting crust: a key to some basic problems of earth science", where he made up a theory to explain how Antarctic had been ice-free until year 4000 BC.

	Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood
		In this fascinating and provocative book Charles Hapgood uses ancient maps as evidence for the existence, many thousands of years ago, of an advanced worldwide civilisation.
		According to Hapgood, the mapmakers responsible for the earliest maps must in some ways have been more technically advanced than sixteenth-century Europe and the ancient civilisations of Greece, Egypt and Babylonia.Not only did they produce fantastically detailed maps, they also appear to have mapped every continent.
		From the evidence it seems that these people must have lived when the ice age had not yet ended in the Northern Hemisphere and when Alaska was still connected to Siberia by the Pleistocene, ice age “land bridge”, that is, thousands of years before the heyday of the ancient Egyptians.

	The Writing of a Book
		But Rand's theory was based on a suggestion made by Charles Hapgood, a New England professor of history, who declared that the earth's crust is subject to periodic shifts, which can cause the continents to change their position.
		Hapgood stated that he had recently made some exciting discoveries that showed that civilization, with a high level of science, was at least a hundred thousand years old.
		Hapgood had no idea why it had slipped - it might even be because the earth had been struck by a giant meteor; all he knew was that it had.

	The Truth Seeker - The Piri Reis Map
		The "idea" expressed in Hapgood's 1953 book is a global geological theory which, together with many other anomalies of earth science, elegantly explains how and why large parts of Antarctica could have remained ice-free until 4000 BCE.
		It would be futile to speculate further than Hapgood himself has already done as to what manner of "underground stream" could have carried and preserved such knowledge through the ages, transmitting fragments of it from culture to culture and from epoch to epoch.
		According to Hapgood, this suggests that the relevant source map must have dated from a time, perhaps as much as 15,000 years ago, when the Para River was the main or only mouth of the Amazon and when Marajo Island was part of the mainland on the northern side of the river.

	The Einstein-Hapgood Papers, Crustal Shift
		In his second reply (24 November 1952) to Hapgood, Einstein wrote that the idea of earth crust displacement should not be ruled out "apriori" just because it didn't fit with what we wanted to believe about the earth's past.
		A month later (11 June 1953) Hapgood sent Einstein forty-two pages of evidence on earth fractures and the evolution of the ice sheets.
		Hapgood and look at the theory in terms of "global warming", the, as yet, poorly explained cycle of "ice ages" and wandering magnetic poles, the theory tends to offer an explaination for many of the conditions which have occured over the milenia, on earth.
