Given the applicability of geology to investigating such extraordinary claims, taking a look at them proved irresistible. As a result, I prepared several FAQs about various aspects of the _The Mysterious Origins of Man_ which I posted to sci.archaeology, alt.archaeology, and other newgroups. FAQs that are archived at the Talk.Origins Archives are listed below. * 1.[10]The Oronteus Finaeus Map of 1532, Atlantis in Antarctica. * 2. [11]Atlantis, Mammoths, and Crustal Shift. * 3.

[15]The Mysterious Origins of Man related web sites. _________________________________________________________________ Fingerprints of the Gods Given the huge volume of material presented in the _Fingerprints of the Gods_, it is impossible to evaluate all of it. I examined several critical exhibits, e.g. Exhibits 3, 4, and 5, to explore the validity of what the author, Mr. Graham Hancock, considered to be critical pieces of evidence for Antarctica once having been Atlantis and for Hapgood's Earth Crustal Shift hypothesis. As time permitted, I also reviewed most other exhibits. Finally, posts concerning claims made by Mr. Hancock about the Piri Reis Map, a plumb tree, and the Cuicuilco Pyramid in Mexico are included. * 1. [16]Exhibits 1 to 3, reefs and coal beds. * 2. [17]Exhibits 4 to 6, fossil forests. * 3. [18]Exhibit 7, The Ross Sea Cores. * 4. [19]Exhibit 8, Orontius Fineaus Map of 1532. * 5. [20]Exhibit 9, Buache's Map of 1739. * 6a.
