OverviewMaps, Myths & Paradigms is a cartographic adventure that begins as a casual investigation into a curious but unlikely claim that an ancient civilization charted the Antarctic continent. The investigation that ensues leads the reader down a trail of mystery and intrigue revealing a series of fresh observations and new discoveries surrounding ancient maps, mythical lost civilizations, and modern geological paradigms. Among the findings: 1) An accurate depiction of Antarctica's Carney and Siple Islands lying off the coast of a sixteenth century portrayal of Western Antarctica bolsters the possibility that an ancient civilization charted the continent; 2) A copy of a long-lost 2,000-year-old Roman map, Agrippa's Orbis Terrarum, is discovered mysteriously affixed to the bottom of a sixteenth century globe; 3) A new site is posited for Atlantis based on the stringent geographical layout, dimensions, and scale set forth in the writings of Plato; 4) The remains of Genesis, the world's largest impact crater measuring 715 miles in diameter, are discovered lying at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean; 5) The Genesis Hemispheric Impact Structure (GHIS) is revealed-a vast concentric pattern of compression and shear fracturing extending out from and entirely around Genesis that comprises and encompasses nearly half of Earth's continental crust; and finally, 6) A theory for a new Earth dynamic is proposed, Catastrophic Ocean Planet Hydro-Equilibrial Expansion (COPHEE), which may have been responsible for the demise of the Atlantean empire and could prove to be the demise of plate tectonics. These findings and more are spread across 300 pages of clear, engaging text along with 135 complementary images and illustrations.
