PIRI REIS: Ancient Maps Had He -- Curious Alignments

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO: http://www.plumstreetmusic.com An addendum to the book CURIOUS ALIGNMENTS. At the Royal Library of the Ottoman Empire, Piri Reiss had access ancient maps from 400 BCE (and possibly earlier).
He used these to create an atlas of fairly accurate maps. Most astonishingly, Piri accurately depicted the islands along the coast of Antarctica that have remained under an ice shelf for the past 4,000 years.

@Azerbaijanian768 Piri Reiss and others have certainly made important contributions to the world.

I recommend people read Gavin Menzie's best selling books. The first is "1421: The Year that the Chinese Discovered America" , the second is "1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance". Glen Beck points to these 2 books on his show. Search for: Glenn Beck Show (January 14, 2011): China's Rise, America's Fall?

@donguinto I received 1491 for my birthday last year. I agree. A very good treatise. I will look for the other one.

[donguinto]

@plumstreetmusic I hope you meant "1421" and not "1491". Also, the HIstory Channel has a short documentary called "In Search of...Chinese Explorers". It reveals some evidence of Mayan relation to mainland China. You can also check it out on youtube.

[plumstreetmusic]

@donguinto My mistake. The one I have is 1491, about the year before Columbus (re)discovered America. I will look fpr 1421 and 1434. Sounds like 1421 may support the theory of the use of the Chinese magnetic compass by Pre-Columbian inhabitants and their marking of various aligned sites.

you must read the piri reis's book "Kitab-ı Bahriye".

Because, He explains how to draw the world map.

it's very very very interesting.

and his book talk about other famous sailors.

History is definitely biased. People might want to know this: Charlotte Harris Rees, the daughter of author Dr. Hendon Harris, bought an old American highschool history textbook dated 1910 from an antique/bookstore which taught that the Chinese discovered America before Columbus. Apparently textbooks prior to this date consistently taught this,but books dated after 1910 found in the same bookstore taught that Columbus discovered America fist. So who knows what else has been distorted.

@donguinto It is better to watch the PBS documentary. Where they discredit all Menzie's claims.

[saseassociates]

Excellent question! I don't know.

There are a lot of theories, including Mu and Atlantis, floating around. However, no significant evidence has surfaced. A lot of ice on top of anything there. If the axis of the earth has tipped, Antarctica may have been as inhabitable as the southern tip of South America is today.

So, who inhabited Antartica 5000 years ago?

@meldufresne

Agreed we're slowly but very surely moving forward into the time of 1948

@donguinto

Sorry but I gotta point this out- Screw Glenn Beck, he rips off Alex Jones so bad!

[donguinto]

@rayalexwebsite  True. The Vikings or Norse also discovered America before Columbus.

@donguinto COME on? everyone knows by now that LEIF ERICSSON discovered that darn continent already in 900 BC....Zzzzzzz
