The Piri Reis Map, created in 1513 by Ottoman admiral Piri Reis, is a fragment of a world map discovered in 1929 at Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace. Drawn on gazelle skin, it depicts parts of Europe, Africa, South America, and the Atlantic with surprising detail for its time. Compiled from older maps, some dating back to ancient Greece, it has sparked debates over its depiction of a possible ice-free Antarctica, suggesting lost knowledge. While skeptics attribute its anomalies to errors typical of early cartography, the map remains a fascinating artifact of exploration and mystery.
