Piri Reis

Halvdelen af Piri Reis-kortet blev fundet af en gruppe historikere i 1929 i Istanbul i Topkapu-paladset på en støvet hylde.

Piri Reis-kortet er tegnet på gazelleskind og det var et forsøg på at samle flere kort sandsynligvis fra forskellige kilder på et større kort.

Piri Reis-kortet blev formodentlig tegnet i 1513 og er af nogle blevet kaldt et gådefuldt kort, da det bl.a. afbilder atlanterhavskysten i Nordamerika, Sydamerika, Afrika og muligvis Antarktis' nordlige kystlinje uden is.

En mere sandsynlig forklaring er, at "Antarktis' nordlige kystlinje" på kortet, faktisk er det nederste af Sydamerikas kystlinje, som er "bukket op" for at kunne være med på kortet. Antarktis blev officielt først opdaget i 1818.

Det er blevet hævdet af bl.a. at kortet er usædvanligt nøjagtigt, men det er efter videnskabelig undersøgelse blevet afvist.
