Download or read book Piri Reis Map of 1513 written by Gregory C. McIntosh and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most beautiful maps to survive the Great Age of Discoveries, the 1513 world map drawn by Ottoman admiral Piri Reis is also one of the most mysterious. Gregory McIntosh has uncovered new evidence in the map that shows it to be among the most important ever made. This detailed study offers new commentary and explication of a major milestone in cartography. Correcting earlier work of Paul Kahle and pointing out the traps that have caught subsequent scholars, McIntosh disproves the dubious conclusion that the Reis map embodied Columbus's Third Voyage map of 1498, showing that it draws instead on the Second Voyage of 1493-1496. He also refutes the popular misinterpretation that Reis's depictions of Antarctica are evidence of either ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial visitation. McIntosh brings together all that has been previously known about the map and also assembles for the first time the translations of all inscriptions on the map and analyzes all place-names given for New World and Atlantic islands. His work clarifies long-standing mysteries and opens up new ways of looking at the history of exploration.

Download or read book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings written by Charles H. Hapgood and published by Adventures Unlimited Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hapgood utilizes ancient maps as concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. Hapgood concluded that these ancient mapmakers were in some ways much more advanced in mapmaking than any people prior to the 18th century. Hapgood believes that they mapped all the continents. This would mean that the Americas were mapped thousands of years before Columbus. Antarctica would have been mapped when its coasts were free of ice. Hapgood supposes that there is evidence that these people must have lived when the Ice Age had not yet ended in the Northern Hemisphere and when Alaska was still connected with Siberia by the Pleistocene, Ice Age 'land bridge'.

Download or read book Before and after P r Reis maps at Topkap Palace written by Alev Taşkın and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pîrî Reis is one of the foremost names in the history of Turkish cartography and navigation. In the 16th century Ottoman cartography made a major leap forward with the maps and charts drawn by Pîrî Reis. This large scale world map that he drew in 1513 demonstrates his knowledge and skill. It shows southwestern Europe, northwest Africa, southeast and central America, and gives written information about the New World. It is a portolan type map without lines of latitude or longitude, showing only the coasts and islands. As Pîrî Reis himself explains, he made use of the map of America drawn by Christopher Columbus in addition to other earlier European and Islamic maps, as well as his own observations. In 1528-29 Pîrî Reis drew a second map, of which only one section has survived. This shows the newly discovered territories of the northern Atlantic and north and central America.
