Turkey and World News

Turkish Minister of Science, Industry and Technology Nihat Ergun attended the reception Thursday held to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Piri Reis map crafted in the year 1513.

"Piri Reis served humanity as well as all the sailors around the world," said Ergun "while at the same time leaving a masterpiece to the world's cultural heritage."

Speaking at the reception held at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Ergun stressed that the Piri Reis map showing the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding continents contributed a lot to cartography in the world.

UNESCO decided on celebrating the year 2013 as the 500th anniversary of the Piri Reis map, Ergun reminded. 

Touching on IMO's principles, Ergun said Turkey would keep on protecting and supporting the principle of "secure trade on clean oceans". 

Koji Sekimizu, Secretary-General of IMO, stressed that Piri Reis map demonstrated Turkey's contribution to marine across the world. 

The Piri Reis map is a world map compiled in 1513 by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. The historical importance of the map lies in its demonstration of the extent of exploration of the New World around in 16th century. The map is currently located in the Library of the Topkapı Palace in the Turkish province of Istanbul.

    Introduction

    In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelleskin.

    Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by PiriReis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century.

    His passion was cartography. His high rank within the Turkish navyallowed him to have a privileged access to the Imperial Library of Con-stantinople.

    The Turkish admiral admits in a series of notes on the map that hecompiled and copied the data from a large number of source maps, someof which dated back to the fourth century BC or earlier.

    The Controversy

    The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast ofSouth America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coast-line of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is notso much how Piri Reis managed to draw such an accurate map of theAntarctic region 300 years before it was discovered, but that the mapshows the coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that thelatest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free stateis 4000 BC.

    On 6th July 1960 the U. S. Air Force responded to Prof. Charles H.Hapgood of Keene College, specifically to his request for an evaluationof the ancient Piri Reis Map:

    6, July, 1960Subject: Admiral Piri Reis MapTO: Prof. Charles H. Hapgood

    Keene CollegeKeene, New Hampshire

    Dear Professor Hapgood,

  • ( Page 4 )

    Your request of evaluation of certain unusual features of the Piri Reismap of 1513 by this organization has been reviewed.

    The claim that the lower part of the map portrays the Princess MarthaCoast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctic, and the Palmer Peninsular, isreasonable. We find that this is the most logical and in all probability thecorrect interpretation of the map.

    The geographical detail shown in the lower part of the map agrees veryremarkably with the results of the seismic profile made across the top ofthe ice-cap by the Swedish-British Antarctic Expedition of 1949.

    This indicates the coastline had been mapped before it was covered bythe ice-cap. The ice-cap in this region is now about a mile thick.

    We have no idea how the data on this map can be reconciled with thesupposed state of geographical knowledge in 1513

    Harold Z. OhlmeyerLt. Colonel, USAF Commander

    The official science has been saying all along that the ice-cap whichcovers the Antarctic is million years old.

    The Piri Reis map shows that the northern part of that continent has beenmapped before the ice did cover it. That should make think it has beenmapped million years ago, but that's impossible since mankind did notexist at that time.

    Further and more accurate studies have proven that the last period ofice-free condition in the Antarctic ended about 6000 years ago. There arestill doubts about the beginning of this ice-free period, which has been putby different researchers everything between year 13000 and 9000 BC.

    The question is: Who mapped the Queen Maud Land of Antarctic 6000years ago? Which unknown civilization had the technology or the needto do that?

  • ( Page 5 )

    It is well-known that the first civilization, according to the traditionalhistory, developed in the mid-east around year 3000 BC, soon to befollowed within a millennium by the Indus valley and the Chinese ones.So, accordingly, none of the known civilizations could have done such ajob. Who was here 4000 years BC, being able to do things that NOW arepossible with the modern technologies?

    All through the Middle Ages were circulating a number of sailing chartscalled "portolani", which were accurate maps of the most common sailingroutes, showing coastlines, harbours, straits, bays, etc. Most of thoseportolani focused on the Mediterranean and the Aegean seas, and otherknown routes, just as the sailing book which Piri Reis himself had written.But a few reported of still unknown lands, and were circulating amongfew sailors who seemingly kept their knowledge about those special mapsas hidden as they could. Columbus is supposed to have been one of thosewho knew these special sailing charts.

    To draw his map, Piri Reis used several different sources, collected hereand there along his journeys. He himself has written notes on the map thatgive us a picture of the work he had been doing on the map. He says hehad been not responsible for the original surveying and cartography. Hisrole was merely that of a compiler who used a large number of source-maps. He says then that some of the source-maps had been drawn bycontemporary sailors, while others were instead charts of great antiquity,dating back up to the 4th century BC or earlier.

    Dr. Charles Hapgood, in his book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings(Turnstone books, London 1979, preface), said that:

    It appears that accurate information has been passed down from peopleto people. It appears that the charts must have originated with a peopleunknown and they were passed on, perhaps by the Minoans and thePhoenicians, who were, for a thousand years and more, the greatestsailors of the ancient world. We have evidence that they were collectedand studied in the great library of Alexandria (Egypt) and the compila-tions of them were made by the geographers who worked there.

  • ( Page 6 )

    Piri Reis had probably come into possession of charts once located in theLibrary of Alexandria, the well-known most important library of theancient times.

    According to Hapgood's reconstruction, copies of these documents andsome of the original source charts were transferred to other centers oflearning, and among them to Constantinople. Then in 1204, year of thefourth crusade, when the Venetians entered Constantinople, those mapsbegun to circulate among the European sailors.

    Most of these maps - Hapgood goes on - were of the Mediterranean andthe Black sea. But maps of other areas survived. These included maps ofthe Americas and maps of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. It becomesclear that the ancient voyagers travelled from pole to pole. Unbelievableas it may appear, the evidence nevertheless indicates that some ancientpeople explored Antarctic when its coasts were free of ice. It is clear too,that they had an instrument of navigation for accurately determining thelongitudes that was far superior to anything possessed by the peoples ofancient, medieval or modern times until the second half of the 18thcentury. [...]

    This evidence of a lost technology will support and give credence to manyof the other hypothesis that have been brought forward of a lost civiliza-tion in remote times. Scholars have been able to dismiss most of thoseevidences as mere myth, but here we have evidence that cannot bedismissed. The evidence requires that all the other evidences that havebeen brought forward in the past should be re-examined with an openmind." (Ibid.)

    In 1953, a Turkish naval officer sent the Piri Reis map to the U.S. NavyHydrographic Bureau. To evaluate it, M.I. Walters, the Chief Engineer ofthe Bureau, called for help Arlington H. Mallery, an authority on ancientmaps, who had previously worked with him.

    After a long study, Mallery discovered the projection method used. Tocheck out the accuracy of the map, he made a grid and transferred the PiriReis map onto a globe: the map was totally accurate. He stated that the

  • ( Page 7 )

    only way to draw map of such accuracy was the aerial surveying: butwho, 6000 years ago, could have used airplanes to map the earth??

    The Hydrographic Office couldn't believe what they saw: they were evenable to correct some errors in the present days maps!!

    The precision on determining the longitudinal coordinates, on the otherhand, shows that to draw the map it was necessary to use the spheroidtrigonometry, a process supposedly not know until the middle of 18thcentury.

    Hapgood has proved that the Piri Re'is map is plotted out in planegeometry, containing latitudes and longitudes at right angles in a tradi-tional "grid"; yet it is obviously copied from an earlier map that wasprojected using spherical trigonometry! Not only did the early mapmakers know that the Earth was round, but they had knowledge of its truecircumference to within 50 miles!

    Hapggod had sent his collection of ancient maps (we will see the Piri reismap was not the only one...) to Richard Strachan, at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology. Hapggod wanted to know exactly the mathemat-ical level needed in order to draw the original source maps. Strachananswered in 1965, saying that the level had to be very high.

    In fact Strachan said that in order to draw such maps, the authors had toknow about the spheroid trigonometry, the curvature of the earth, meth-ods of projection; knowledge that is of a very high level.

    The way the Piri Reis map shows the Queen Maud land, its coastlines, itsrivers, mountain ranges, plateaus, deserts, bays, has been confirmed by aBritish-Swedish expedition to Antarctic ( as said by Olhmeyer in hisletter to Hapggod); the researchers, using sonar and seismic soundings,indicated that those bays and rivers etc, were underneath the ice-cap,which was about one mile thick.

  • ( Page 8 )

    Charles Hapggod, in 1953, wrote a book called "Earth's shifting crust: akey to some basic problems of earth science", where he made up a theoryto explain how Antarctic had been ice-free until year 4000 BC.

    The theory summing up is as follows:

    The reason Antarctic was ice-free, and therefor much warmer, it is to befound in the fact that, at one time, its location wasn't the south pole. It waslocated approximately 2000 miles further north. Hapgood says this"would have put it outside the Antarctic Circle in a temperate or coldtemperate climate".

    Read more information about Pole Shifting.

    The reason why the continent moved down to its present location has tobe found in a mechanism called "earth-crust-displacement". This mecha-nism, not to be confused with the plate-tectonics or the continental drift,is one whereby the lithosphere, the whole outer crust of the earth "may bedisplaced at times, moving over the soft inner body, much as the skin ofan orange, if it were loose, might shift over the inner part of the orangeall in one piece". (Charles Hapgood, "Maps of the ancient sea-kings",.

    This theory was sent to Albert Einstein, which answered to Hapgood invery enthusiastic terms. Though geologists did not seem to accept Hap-good's theory, Einstein seemed to be as much open as Hapgood saying:"In a polar region there is a continual deposition of ice, which is notsymmetrically distributed about the pole. The earth's rotation acts onthese unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces a centrifugalmomentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. The constant-ly increasing centrifugal momentum produced in this way will, when ithas reached a certain point, produce a movement of the earth's crust overthe rest of the earth's body...." (Einstein's foreword to "Earth's shiftingcrust" p.1)

    Anyway, whether Hapgood's theory is correct, the mystery still thrills.The Piri Reis map is something which is not supposed to exist. I meanthat by no means there was supposed to be anyone that far back in time

  • ( Page 9 )

    able to draw a map of such precision; in fact the relative longitudinalcoordinates are totally accurate, as stated by Official studies on the mapthat we saw above.

    And this is a demonstration of impossible technology: the first instrumentto calculate the longitude in a approximately correct way has beeninvented in 1761 by the English John Harrison.

    Before there was no way to calculate the longitude in an acceptable way:there could be errors of hundreds kilometers....

    And the Piri Reis map is just one of several which show supposedlyunknown lands, impossible knowledge, precision which still today wouldsurprise........

    In fact Piri Reis himself admitted he based his map on way older charts;and those older charts had been used as sources by others who havedrawn different maps still of great precision.

    Impressive is the "Dulcert's Portolano", year 1339, where the latitude ofEurope and North Africa is perfect, and the longitudinal coordinates ofthe Mediterranean and of the Black sea are approximated of half degree.An even more amazing chart is the "Zeno's chart", year 1380. It shows abig area in the north, going up till the Greenland; Its precision is flabber-gasting. "It's impossible" says Hapgood "that someone in the fourteenthcentury could have found the exact latitudes of these places, not tomention the precision of the longitudes..."

    Another amazing chart is the one drawn by the Turkish Hadji Ahmed,year 1559, in which he shows a land stripe, about 1600 Km. wide, thatjoins Alaska and Siberia. Such a natural bridge has been then covered bythe water due to the end of the glacial period, which rose up the sea level.Oronteus Fineus was another one who drew a map of incredible preci-sion. He too represented the Antarctic with no ice-cap, year 1532

  • ( Page 10 )

    There are maps showing Greenland as two separated islands, as it wasconfirmed by a polar French expedition which found out that there is anice cap quite thick joining what it is actually two islands.

    As we saw, many charts in the ancient times pictured, we might say, allthe earth geography. They seem to be pieces of a very ancient world widemap, drawn by unknown people who were able to use technology that weconsider to be a conquer of the very modern times

    When human beings were supposed to live in a primitive manner, some-one "put on paper" the whole geography of the earth. And this commonknowledge somehow fell into pieces, then gathered here and there byseveral people, who had lost though the knowledge, and just copied whatthey could find in libraries, bazaars, markets and about all kind of places.Hapggod made a disclosure which amazingly lead further on this road: hefound out a cartographic document copied by an older source carved ona rock column, China, year 1137. It showed the same high level oftechnology of the other western charts, the same grid method, the sameuse of spheroid trigonometry. It has so many common points with thewestern ones that it makes think more than reasonably, that there had tobe a common source: could it be a lost civilization, maybe the same onewhich has been chased by thousands years so far?

    Summary

    The Piri Re'is map is often exhibited in cases seeking to prove thatcivilization was once advanced and that, through some unknown event orevents, we are only now gaining any understanding of this mysteriouscultural decline. The earliest known civilization, the Sumerians in Mes-opotamia, appear out of nowhere around 4,000 B.C. but have no nauticalor maritime cultural heritage. They do, however, speak reverently ofancestral people who were like the "gods" and were known as the nefilim.Here is a summary of some of the most unusual findings about the map:

    Scrutiny of the map shows that the makers knew the accurate circumfer-ence of the Earth to within 50 miles.

  • ( Page 11 )

    The coastline and island that are shown in Antarctica must have beennavigated at some period prior to 4,000 B.C. when these areas were freeof ice from the last Ice Age.·The map is thought to be one of the earliest "world maps" to show theAmericas. Early scholars suggested that it showed accurate latitudes ofthe South American and African coastlines - only 21 years after thevoyages of Columbus! (And remember, Columbus did NOT discoverNorth America - only the Caribbean!) Writing in Piri Re'is own handdescribed how he had made the map from a collection of ancient maps,supplemented by charts that were drawn by Columbus himself. Thissuggests that these ancient maps were available to Columbus and couldhave been the basis of his expedition.

    ·As can be seen below, an azimuthal projection ( looking at the globefrom a point above the globe), from the point above Cairo, Africa(Egypt) shows that the Piri Reis map corresponds more or less withthe lower right quarter of this map if one rotates it some 20 degreescounter clockwise.
