Gunnar Thompson - Further Work on Maize in Egypt

Gunnar Thompson, Ph.D., an author and anthropologist, has been called “the Sherlock Holmes” of American History. Among his most notable achievements are the discovery of the Omnibus Power Sign—which proved ancient contact between China and Mexico, and the discovery of Albertin di Virga’s 1414 Map which includes North and South America nearly a century before Columbus. He is the author of several controversial books including Nu Sun, American Discovery, The Friar’s Map, and Secret Voyages to the New World. The Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl endorsed Gunnar's first book about voyages by the ancient Chinese to Mexico in 300 BC. The Smithsonian archeologist, Betty Meggers, called him “the vanguard of a new generation of scholars.” In May of 2005, he gave a presentation about Marco Polo’s West Coast voyages at the Library of Congress. In March of 2006, he was awarded the Zheng He Trophy in Beijing for his work on the Ming World Map. This map features a Chinese version of North and South America nearly a century before Columbus. Last fall in Halifax, Mr. Thompson gave the keynote speech to kick off the conference and stunned the audience with his work on maize showing up in Egyptian art.  Click here to learn more >>
