Book excerpt: There was an old Simorgyan legend, Fafhrd had insisted, according to which on the seventh day of the seventh moon of the seventh year of the Sevens-Cycle the king of the sea journeyed to the other end of the earth, leaving his opalescently beautiful green wives and faintly silver-scaled slim concubines free to find them lovers if they could . . . and this, Fafhrd had stridently asserted he knew by the spectral calm and other occult tokens, was the place of the sea-king’s home and the eve of the day!

Download or read book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings written by Charles H. Hapgood and published by Adventures Unlimited Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hapgood utilizes ancient maps as concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. Hapgood concluded that these ancient mapmakers were in some ways much more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th century. Hapgood believes that they mapped all the continents. This would mean that the Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Antarctica would have been mapped when its coasts were free of ice. Hapgood supposes that there is evidence that these people must have lived when the Ice Age had not yet ended in the Northern Hemisphere and when Alaska was still connected with Siberia by the Pleistocene, Ice Age 'land bridge'.

Download or read book High Kings To Seakings written by Anthony Holten and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the changing world of 1960's Ireland, a young man named Anthony Holten answered a newspaper advertisement and soon found himself in a totally alien environment upon the high seas. From the even tenor of a mechanic's life in Dublin, he was catapulted into the hustle and bustle of shipboard life - where a new world enfolded him amidst the clamorous machinery spaces of steamships plying between many far-flung destinations. The writer recounts his experiences as a developing marine engineer and his impressions as a raw landlubber learning a mariner's life in a story that takes the reader on a worldwide journey that begins in rural Ireland: from his early experiences in the ports of Europe to the cold hostile Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic Sea; across the western oceans to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean; and then from the USA to the searing heat of the Persian Gulf via Capetown and ever onwards to the Far East

Download or read book Chronicles of the Ancient Sea Kings written by Kyle Clayton and published by Kyle Clayton. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 1284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic portal fantasy unfolds… A pair of aimless Navy vets wash up in a world as baffling as the civilian one when their boat sinks off the coast of Antarctica. It’s cold, but not as cold as it should be. There’s no food, no water, no chapstick. Nothing but a 15th century map purporting to show the southern continent centuries before its discovery. Their hopes of a quick rescue recede with the ice as someone jacks their clothes and they find the stark land inhabited by some pretty not-chill dudes. Each encounter is a clue that raises more questions than they have time to answer in the mad scramble for survival. And none of it matters: not the strange customs that obligated a geriatric Reverse-Eskimo to help them. The wooden museum vessels full of foul sailors. The murmurs of unrest across the seas. All they want is a boat home—any boat. But first, they must travel to the end of the known world to find out where they are.

Download or read book The Sea Kings written by R. Andrew McDonald and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archipelagic kingdoms of Man and the Isles that flourished from the last quarter of the eleventh century down to the middle of the thirteenth century represent two forgotten kingdoms of the medieval British Isles. They were ruled by powerful individuals, with unquestionably regnal status, who interacted in a variety of ways with rulers of surrounding lands and who left their footprint on a wide range of written documents and upon the very landscapes and seascapes of the islands they ruled. Yet British history has tended to overlook these Late Norse maritime empires, which thrived for two centuries on the Atlantic frontiers of Britain. This book represents the first ever overview of both Manx and Hebridean dynasties that dominated Man and the Isles from the late eleventh to the mid-thirteenth centuries. Coverage is broad and is not restricted to politics and warfare. An introductory chapter examines the maritime context of the kingdoms in light of recent work in the field of maritime history, while subsequent chronological and narrative chapters trace the history of the kingdoms from their origins through their maturity to their demise in the thirteenth century. Separate chapters examine the economy and society, church and religion, power and architecture.
