About The Book
Maps, 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.Come along as we:
- Revisit ancient maps of Antarctica revealing startling new evidence supporting their authenticity;
- Discover a 2,000-year-old map on the bottom of one world and the world’s largest impact crater atop another; and finally,
- Chart the rise of Atlantis from the depths of myth and legend and the fall of a modern paradigm from the heights of scientific consensus.

Observations and Discoveries:
- 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;
- 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;
- A new site is posited for Atlantis based on the stringent geographical layout, dimensions, and scale set forth in the writings of Plato;
- 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;
- 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,
- 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.

Agrippa's Orbis Terrarum
Agrippa's
long-lost 2,000-year-old world map is discovered affixed to
the bottom of Johannes Schöner's 1515 globe. The find proves
that Schöner, like others of his day, depicted new lands
using ancient maps as templates. The find also lends support
to the legitimacy of ancient maps of Antarctica.
Kamchatka Origins
Kamchatka
is a fragment of Asia and not the product of magmatic
upwelling caused by subduction. This simple discovery would
ultimately lead to the refutation of plate tectonics and the
proposal of a new Earth dynamics theory: Catastrophic Ocean
Planet Hydro-Equilibrial Expansion (COPHEE).
