Gunnar Thompson
Ancient Maps & Discoveries

Gunnar Thompson was born in the Emerald City in 1946. A multi-talented individual, he is a master stained-glass craftsman, graphic artist, novelist, writer and inventor. He has earned a Masters Degree in Anthropology and a Ph.D. in Counseling. He is recognized as one of the leaders in the study of early voyagers across the oceans.

His first book on ancient Asian voyagers was Nu Sun (1989, out of print). He followed with the encyclopedic American Discovery (1992 & 1994, out of print) which is the principal text in the field. A definitive text on the 14th century English Franciscan survey of the New World, The Friar’s Map, was published in 1996.

In his latest book, Lions in the New Land: The Epic Adventures of Friar Nicholas in The Enchanted Isles is the true story of a mysterious English friar whose passage through time altered the course of world history. In the 14th century, the friar traveled from England, to Norway, Iceland, and the Northern Regions in the service of King Edward III. The friar’s assignment was to survey isles of the North Atlantic in an effort to find the lost, overseas colony of King Arthur. This project, entailing discovery of the Western Hemisphere, was first proposed by England’s premier scientist—Roger Bacon in 1266.

Thompson has written and lectured extensively on subjects related to multicultural studies and early voyagers. He has been featured on British and Norwegian television specials regarding his discovery of the lost friar’s map of the New World by Nicholas of Lynn ca. 1360 AD.
