Ptolemy’s Geographia and his reduced estimate for the dimension of the Earth
are examined. The thesis is exposed that the shrinking of the dimension of the
Earth is a consequence of the scale error on the longitudes, which, in turn,
was originated by a misidentification of the Islands of the Blessed. The
location of the Islands of the Blessed according to the source of Ptolemy
should be identified in the Caribbean. Two other independent quantitative
arguments lead to the same conclusion, which sheds new light on possible
contact among civilizations.<span></span></span></p>
