  Charles Hapgood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hapgood received a master's degree from Harvard University in 1932 in medieval and modern History.
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.
Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings used numerous archival maps, including the Piri Reis Map, which he claims 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.

 Eddie Hapgood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Playing at left back, Hapgood went on to become captain of the Arsenal team which dominated English football in the 1930s, winning five League Championships and two FA Cups.
The match was notoriously dirty, with many players sustaining injuries, including Hapgood himself with a broken nose; England beat the Italians (who were effectively reduced to ten men for most of the match) 3-2.
Hapgood also captained England in an even more infamous match, against Germany in Berlin on May 14, 1938, where Hapgood and his players were made to give the Nazi salute before the match, under pressure from British diplomats.

Still, Hapgood raises some intriguing questions even after the fall of the Soviet Union, and certain scenes have a post-perestroika piquancy, as when a British intelligence operator insists to a Russian double (triple?) spy that political reform is impossible behind the Iron Curtain.
As the play opens, Hapgood is heading her own team of spies, and she's trying to uncover the identity of a double agent who's feeding information to the Russians -- before her superiors pin the blame on her.
Hapgood's double identity is the basis for a roundabout tale that's too complicated to describe here.

 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.

 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.

 Viewzone: Polar Shift Theories
Hapgoods reasoning went like this: He envisioned a catastrophic and dramatic move of the entire skin which allowed thick polar ice caps to melt in their new, warmer climate.
Hapgood, while credited with plotting the positions of past polar coordinates, was forced to adhere to a much slower transition of the poles, accepting the paradigm of continental drift and plate tectonics to maintain the support of the scientific community.
It was Hapgood himself who first underscored the enormous amount of evidence proving the high speed at which the shift of the poles appears to have happened; speed which the mechanism of continental drift is unable to explain.

Isabel Hapgood was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1850,5 to English-Scottish parents, Asa Hapgood and Lydia Anna Bronson Crossley.
Hapgood was especially enchanted by the choir at the Dormition Cathedral in the Kremlin, led by Alexander Dimitrievich Kastalsky (1856-1926), whom she described as "the wonderful composer and director." Kastalsky autographed for her his newest composition, "Khristos Voskrese" [Christ is Risen] with warm wishes on April 2, 1917.
Miss Hapgood's stay in Moscow was cut short by the outbreak of the revolution, and she managed to escape to Vladivostok only thanks to the assistance of the American consulate in Moscow and her personal acquaintance with Russian officials.

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.

 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.

 FOG Exhibits 11 and 12, The Ross Sea Cores
Hapgood (1970) continues on to ask the question whether this seismic noise could be the result ongoing movement within the crust of the Earth which is possibly associated with active Earth crustal displacement.
In this exhibit, Hapgood (1970) as quoted by FOG, claims that the "North Pole" moved ten feet in direction of Greenland between 1900 and 1960 and that the North Pole moved another ten feet between 1960 to 1968.
Hapgood (1970) and FOG interpret this to be the geometrical acceleration of the rate of movement that is far too rapid to be powered by "convection currents." Rather, it is claimed that "some other mechanism" is at work.

 Piri Reis Map
Hapgood reasoned that because the hypothetical grids and "source maps" of his can remove the errors proves these maps are accurate and, since they are accurate, that proves that the error was created by copying and compilation of the Piri Reis Map and not in the source maps from which it was made.
Hapgood, the claims of accuracy for the Piri Reis Map are simply claims lacking any supporting evidence.
First, both Lt. Colonel Ohlmeyer and Dr. Hapgood incorrectly assume that the subglacial topography of Antarctica is the same as the ice-free topography of Antarctica.

Author Hapgood, and his devotees, therefore find themselves in a position better than Velikovskyites, but in one which, like theirs, has been obviated by the discovery of facts and scientific principles which werenot available to Hapgood when he wrote this book.
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 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.

 Earth Crust Displacement : Troy 6396 - Apocalypse Aerie
"In 1958 Charles Hapgood suggested in his book The Earth's Shifting Crust that the Earth's crust had undergone repeated displacements and that the geological concepts of continental drift and sea-floor spreading owed their secondary livelihoods to the primary nature of crustal shift.
According to Hapgood, crustal shift was made possible by a layer of liquid rock situated about 100 miles beneath the surface of the planet.
A pattern of repeated, catastrophic change thought to be brought about by crustal displacements activated by one or more outside agents - such as passing comets or fluctuations in the sun's own magnetic field - appears to have been with humanity and its civilizations from the very dawn of mankind.

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.
Hapgood offers a comprehensive index and bibliography and of course, many maps and plates to help the reader understand exactly what is being suggested by the author.
