Essays on Cartography and

Astronomy by Tomas Londan

Our theme here is the ＂lost＂ continent of Atlantis which we think was

never lost but simply rose and sank under gradually changing sea levels.

What did get lost over the ages of Man was the concept of Earth as a

globe; also ancient society as cosmopolitan with global trade of goods and

data. Ancient charts hidden during the dark ages tell a story of their own.

The other ＂lost＂ lands were Hyperborea, Ultima Thule, Thule - Greenland

and Iceland respectively - and Mu. Basic idea: What we now call North

America was once called Atlantis by scholars of the Old World. See Plato

and King Alexander. Why the odd name? Too many books under the same

title. Why not be unique? Mu was probably what we now call South America.
