About The Friar's Map Of Ancient America 1360 AD: The
Product Description English Franciscans mapped North America 1330-1360. The result was the first scientific map of the New World. Roger Bacon conceived the project; Pope Clement endorsed it in 1265; Oxford deans trained friars in surveying; and King Edward III launched the effort in 1360. Thus, Edward's great-grandson, Prince Henry of Portugal, knew the location of Florida in 1420. Contains hundreds of illustrations including the "Friar's Map" which the author found in 1995. Review "A major contribution. Impressed with the scholarship. Exceedingly good argument." -- Vine Deloria "Excellent. Powerful. Extremely interesting! Demonstrated and elucidated quite brilliantly. I am awed by his research." -- Ian Wilson "Extremely important!" -- Thor Heyerdahl About the Author Gunnar Thompson's research has resulted in discovery of the Omnibus Power Sign, evidence of Old World voyagers to America, and the lost "Friar's Map" of 1360--the first scientific map of the New World. A veteran of archeological excavations at Mesa Verde and Cahokia, Illinois, he has taught at several universities. A magna cum laude graduate from U.Illinois with high distinction in anthropology, he has an M.A. from U.Wisconsin in Anthropology and a Ph.D in Psychology. He is author of "American Discovery" and "NuSun."
