Without having something to celebrate, I just received this book http://books.google.com/books?id=5iLG2D5eBswC&dq=Maps+of+the+Ancient+Sea+Kings&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=de&ei=LkMAStb8IteLsAbqr7yoBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#PPA2,M1 as a present. I thought that it may actually also be of interest to some member of NavList since it refers to old maps claiming to have an accuracy beyond the nautical capabilities of medieval times but having been drawn long time before. Looking at the Wikipedia information on the author http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Hapgood suggests however that the content should be read with some caution.
