How accurate is the ancient map of Türkiye?

The confusing ancient map of Türkiye adds a lot of mystery to us.

In 1929, an ancient navigation map drawn on parchment was discovered in Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The map was signed by Turkish Admiral Piri Reis at the time of 1553.

Piri Reis was a famous sea captain, travel cartographer and collector. According to him in his famous atlas and the description of this map, the map was drawn based on 20 maps by predecessors. Some of these 20 maps were drawn in the era of Alexander the Great 2,400 years ago. .

This map was sent to the United States for identification. Walters and Marley, mapping experts from the U.S. Naval Hydrographic Service, marked the coordinates on the map, compared it with a modern globe, and announced a sensational discovery. This map is absolutely accurate. Not only the coasts of North and South America, but even Antarctica are accurately delineated. This map not only draws the outlines of the continents, but also marks the inland terrain, mountains, peaks, rivers, islands and The plateau is clearly marked.

This map also accurately identifies the relative longitudes of North and South America, which were not determined until the 18th century.

This map also accurately depicts the Antarctic continent, which was not discovered until 1818 and was drawn 100 years later. The mountains in the map have been covered with thick ice for hundreds of years and are invisible to the naked eye. It was not until 1952 that humans discovered its existence using seismic echo sounders.

Not long ago, a spacecraft flew over Cairo and took a high-altitude photo. The landforms within 8,000 kilometers around Cairo as the center were very accurate. However, because the earth is spherical, 8,000 kilometers The mainland, meters away, is sinking and strangely elongated. What is amazing and disturbing is that this is exactly what Piri Reis's map is, and so are the photos taken by the American lunar probe!

In addition to this map, the same is true for some other ancient maps. It astonishes us. A map drawn by Oyos Finaus before 1532 marked Antarctica with rivers and bays fed by rivers. According to the markings on this map, a glacier was discovered under a 3.22-kilometer-thick glacier. , a glacier moving slowly toward the sea.

On another map of Turkey dated 1559, there is a narrow strip of land like a bridge connecting Siberia in Asia and Alaska in the Americas. According to research by geologists, this The zone once existed, but it disappeared for at least 10,000 years. No one can draw the landscape as it was 10,000 years ago.

To draw such a map, you need to accurately know the size and shape of the earth, and you must also apply spherical trigonometry and ultra-modern cartographic projection in mathematical measurements. Shortly after the great flood, the two poles were gathered in the glacier No one had been able to draw these marvelous maps before.
