He compiled this map from maps he had access to in the Imperial Library of Constantinople. What is the possibility that Antartica was discovered many years earlier and it was in an ice-free state?

Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri
Reis, a famous admiral of the
Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century. 
His passion was cartography. His high rank within the
Turkish navy allowed him to have a privileged access to the Imperial Library of
Constantinople.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_1.htm"><H3>The Controversy </H3></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_1.htm"><P>
The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa,
the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern
coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri
Reis managed to draw such an accurate map of the Antarctic
region 300 years before it was discovered, but that the map
shows the coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud
Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AD09521B-E755-4122-BC37-B4CF02D22117/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
