We explore the strange and
interesting Mystery of the Maps; Portolano Projection maps made
during the 15th and 16th century that appear to contain information
incongruous with the state of cartographic and navigational
knowledge and ability at the time. We explain "the problem of
Longitude" which wasn't overcome until the late 1800s, yet there
exist many 16th and 17th century maps with areas of very precise
longitude, better than anything we could do up to as recently as
the 1950s.
We also outline the work of Dr. Charles Hapgood, who studied many
of these maps currently housed in the Congressional Library, who
went on to publish a book called "Maps of the Ancient Sea
Kings"
We also delve into the original Grail legend, wandering the vast
and intimidating labyrinth of Grail Lore and esoterica, until
eventually we surprise everyone(ourselves included) by emerging
into the light on the other side with a possible solution to
this age-old mystery.
