Originally composed in 932 AH / 1525 CE and dedicated to Sultan Süleyman I ("The Magnificent"), this great work by Piri Reis (d. 962 AH / 1555 CE) on navigation was later revised and expanded. The present manuscript, made mostly in the late 11th AH / 17th CE century, is based on the later expanded version with some 240 exquisitely executed maps and portolan charts. They include a world map (fol.41a) with the outline of the Americas, as well as coastlines (bays, capes, peninsulas), islands, mountains and cities of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The work starts with the description of the coastline of Anatolia and the islands of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese peninsula and eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea. It then proceeds to describe the western shores of Italy, southern France, Spain, North Africa, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, western Anatolia, various islands north of Crete, Sea of Marmara, Bosporus and the Black Sea. It ends with a map of the shores of the the Caspian Sea (fol.374a). See this manuscript page by page at the Walters Art Museum website: art.thewalters.org/viewwoa.aspx?id=19195

¿Cómo es posible que existan mapas prehistóricos que representan regiones de nuestro planeta (como la Antártida sin hielo) que datan de hace miles de años? ¿Estos mapas pertenecen a civilizaciones antediluvianas que habitaban nuestro planeta antes de la historia escrita? El Período antediluviano o el período pre-inundación es el nombre dado al tiempo 'antes del gran diluvio'. En la Biblia este período se establece entre la expulsión del hombre del jardín del Edén y el diluvio de Noé, tal como se describe en el Génesis. Sin embargo, las historias de un gran diluvio no sólo están presentes en la Biblia,

El Museo de Topkapi Sarayi en Estambul esconde uno de los grandes misterios de la historia: el mapa de Piri Reis. Pintado sobre una piel de gacela y decorado con dibujos de animales exóticos, este mapa del Océano Atlántico encierra un sinfín de preguntas que ningún experto ha conseguido responder.
La mappa di Piri Reis La strana storia della carta è cominciata nel 1929 a Istanbul, che allora si chiamava Costantinopoli, quando venne ritrovata tracciata su pergamena. Nel 1520 l'ammiraglio turco Muhiddin Piri Reis (1470-1554) compilava l'atlante Bahriyye, destinato ai navigatori. Le carte nautiche di questo atlante, corredate da note esplicative e redatte su pelle di capriolo, furono più tardi scoperte dallo studioso Halil Edhem, direttore dei musei nazionali, il 9 novembre del 1929 nel palazzo di Topkapi, ad Istanbul. Grazie alle sue attente ricerche, Edhem trovò citata l'origine delle carte che componevano l'atlante Bahriyye negli stessi scritti lasciati dall'ammiraglio Piri Reis: ebbene, narra questi che nel 1501, durante una battaglia navale contro gli spagnoli, un ufficiale turco di nome Kemal catturò un prigioniero che disse di aver preso parte ai tre storici viaggi di Cristoforo Colombo, e che possedeva una serie di carte nautiche davvero eccezionali. Sarebbe stato proprio grazie all'aiuto di quelle carte nautiche così precise che il grande navigatore genovese individuò la meta finale del suo viaggio.La carta era datata nel mese di Nuharrem nell'anno 919 dopo il profeta: nel 1513 dell'era cristiana. La carta era firmata da Piri Ibn Haji Memmed, nome completo dell'Ammiraglio Piri Reis. Questa carta attirò l'attenzione di un primo ricercatore americano, Arlington Mallery. Egli dimostrò, per mezzo di calcoli, confermati da successivi controlli, che la carta aveva richiesto conoscenze molto progredite di trigonometria sferica, che risaliva ad un'epoca antichissima, un'epoca in cui il ghiaccio dell'Antartico non ricopriva ancora la zona della Terra Regina Maud (Antartide). Sulla carta in questione si trovano rappresentati in particolare il Rio delle Amazzoni, il Golfo del Venezuela, l'America meridionale, da Baya Blanca al Capo Horn, ed infine, come abbiamo detto l'Antartide, informazioni che nessuno poteva possedere a quei tempi. Il Prof.Charles H.Hapgood del Keene State College, New Hampshire, Stati Uniti assegnò alla carta di Piri Reis ed ad altre carte analoghe il nome di "carte degli antichi re del mare". Nella Vita dell'Ammiraglio Cristoforo Colombo, scritta da suo figlio Ferdinando si legge che "[Colombo] Raccoglieva accuratamente tutte le indicazioni che marinai o altri potevano fornirgli. E le seppe sfruttare così bene, che in lui maturò l'incrollabile convinzione di poter scoprire nuove terre a ovest delle isole Canarie". Inoltre, la distanza tra l'America del Sud e l'Africa vi è indicata con precisione sorprendente. Il bottino rappresentato dalle misteriose carte disegnate da Colombo finì nelle mani di Piri Reis il quale, sulla base delle voci che correvano a quei tempi, racconta nei suoi scritti che "Cristoforo Colombo, nel corso delle sue ricerche, trovò un libro risalente all'epoca di Alessandro Magno e ne rimase così impressionato che, dopo averlo letto, partì alla scoperta delle Antille con le navi ottenute dal governo spagnolo". Qualcuno ha tracciato questa carta in un passato molto remoto, ed a noi sono pervenute delle copie come la Piri Reis o come quella di Oriontio Fineo, del 1531. Su quest'ultima, le dimensioni del continente antartico corrispondono perfettamente a quelle riportate nelle più precise carte moderne. Segnaliamo, infine, che un'altra carta turca del 1559, quella attribuita a Hadjj Ahmed, ci mostra a sua volta una terra sconosciuta che, forma un ponte tra la Siberia e l'Alaska attraverso lo stretto di Bering. Questo passaggio terrestre svelerebbe molti misteri sulle migrazioni del Paleolitico; ma essendo scomparso certamente quasi 30.000 anni fa non si riesce a capire in che modo una civiltà terrestre, conosciuta o ignota, avesse potuto sapere della sua esistenza.
