The Map of Piri Reis

The Map of Piri Reis (1513), an osman admiral. He was able to speak several languages and chose 20 old maps to paint a new one. It is said that one of those 20 maps was the one painted by Christopher Columbus. The mystery hidden inside this map is the coastline of the antarctic continent which was and still is covered with ice.
