From Viking migrations of the North Atlantic, with their discovery of ancient Atlantis by history, and on to the newest wave of European and Latin emigres escaping hardship, this volume covers an original history as known of the New World in all its vagaries of history and geography. From Socrates and Pliny, to the proposed American border wall with Mexico and its roots in the Great Wall of China, and to whatever else that came with the new map of the world after 1492 and 1531, this scholarly history covers the peoples, migrations, climate, religious sects, and geography by map cartography that affects the universal centers of civilization. This Hapsburg America is amazingly depicted in all its controversies of time and place. In the inimical style of British historian Edward Gibbon and others, this book is written by a reputable Oxford historian with five colleges of accreditation, and a don lecturer since 1982. To write this new history is to address constant comments about our native land: "But you have no history!" This correction by all accounts includes the folk tales and verbal known traditions from Atlantis to the Norse to Viking passed along with the real and imagined past to present. The Genoese persuaded the rulers of Iberian Castile and Aragon to allow the crossing of the North Atlantic; and after 1492 the entire world changed in its map and in its continents and in its future. About the Author: Daniel Anthony Ignatius Swanger-Paterman-Hapsburg, Imperator, says he "was conceived in Germanicus Mannheim, and born to a Grand Ducal and Archducal family."
