A Word of Appreciation
Discoveries are often made by persons who, having fastened
onto suggestions made by others, follow them through. This is the
case with this book, which is the result of seven years of intensive
research undertaken as the result of a suggestion made by someone else.
That person is Captain Arlington H. Mallery. He first suggested
that the Piri Re'is Map, brought to light in 1929 but drawn in
1513 and based upon much older maps, showed a part of Antarctica.
It was he who made the original suggestion that the first map of
this coast must have been drawn before the present immense Antarctic
ice cap had covered the coasts of Queen Maud Land. His sensational
suggestion was the inspiration for our research.
It is therefore with deep appreciation that I dedicate this
book to Captain Arlington H. Mallery.
