Summary:""The outlines of this Map were presented through inspirational vision and are authentic!" - A. Zing (A-Z - Alpha Omega) Large self-published map of the world, depicting how it would be transformed by a "cycle change" which the author had foreseen in an "inspirational vision". Zingg alleges that the world's axis would shift, resulting in a massive climate change, as well as a lifting up of some bodies of land, and a submerging of others. The whole vision has an interesting pro-American inflection; the predicted apocalypse would result in the wholesale destruction of the Old World (Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Asia), whereas the New World would be considerably larger (5,000 miles wide at Panama) and the climate would improve. One is tempted to understand the map in the context of the geopolitics of the time - in the leadup to World War II and the destruction it would bring to the places that Zingg mentions.

We are now living in that age in which a physical change of the Globe will soon occur in which this world will roll (in its orb) to a new point of balance which will swing its axis into new moorings, the North Pole will be shifted into Siberia east of the Ural Mountains, and the South Pole in the South Pacific Ocean. Through this cataclysm of the Globe the geography and the climate of the world will be greatly changed. The dark part of the Map represents that part of the world which will suffer inundation. The checkered part on both sides of the Western Hemisphere and around Australia indicates new land risen to the surface. Note the course of the dark part of the Map. All of Europe, Asia Minor, Northern Africa, all of South and East Asia, the East Indies, the Philippine ...
