 Antillia Information
Antilia is first marked in an anonymous map which is dated 1424 and preserved in the grand-ducal library at Weimar.
One of the chief early descriptions of Antilia is that inscribed on the globe which the geographer Martin Behaim made at Nuremberg in 1492 (see map: History).
It is impossible to estimate how far this legend commemorates some actual but imperfectly recorded discovery, and how far it is a reminiscence of the ancient idea of an elysium in the western seas which is embodied in the legends of the Isles of the Blest or Fortunate Islands.

He then turns to the island of Antilia, and with painful thoroughness proves conclusively that the 1424 chart is the first document known in which the name or representation of Antilia appears.
Professor Cortesão believes Antilia did represent a real island, and his study, in essence, is an attempt to prove that it got onto the 1424 chart, and all others following it, as a real island because it had been seen by some unknown Portuguese navigators.
If all this is accepted, the final step is easy: Antilia, the only land west of the Azores, must have been the island forefront or the eastern mainland of America, and the navigators who found it were the true discoverers of the New World.

Nordenskiold no seu "Périplo" declara: "As the mention of this large island, the name of which was afterwards given to the Antilles, in the portolanos of the fourteenth century, is probably owing to some vessel being storm driven across the Atlantic (as, according to Behaim, happened to a Spanish vessel in 1414)" (75).

 Cuba As Atlantis
They called it Antilia, a name that can be shown to derive from atl, the Semitic word root from which is also derived the name 'Atlantis'.
Well-known geographers, such as William H. Babcock, have identified Antilia as Cuba, while the appearance of this legendary island on medieval maps matches very well a truncated form of Cuba found on the Turkish Piri Reis map of 1513.
In 1966, Professor Charles Hapgood of Keene University determined that this nautical chart was derived originally from a patchwork of source maps that pre-dated Columbus' initial voyage to the New World.

From the historical point of view, it is undoubtedly one of the most, if not the most, precious jewel yielded by the disclosure of the almost unknown treasures contained in the unique collection of early manuscripts assembled by Sir Thomas Phillips during the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century.
To find Antilia, all I had to do was look for an island 135 kilometres long by 50 kilometres wide, aligned east-west, and lying some six hundred kilometres west-north-west of Guadeloupe, once again in the track of the prevailing current and wind.
The map revealed that Puerto Rico was in the correct position, had the true alignment and size, and lay directly on the route along which the wind and current would have swept the junks after they left Basse Terre.

Moreover, Professor Cortesão points out that the name Antilia is composed of two Portugu ese words, ante or anti (before) and illa, an archaic form of ilha (island), which might possibly mean "the island before" or "the island facing" Europe, or the continent just to its west which was assume d to be Asia.
If all this is accepted, the final step is easy: Antilia, the only land west of the Azores, must have been the island forefront or the eastern mainland of America, and the navigators who found it were the true discoverers of the New World.

The present traces of Antilia are in the Antilles Islands in the West Indies (Braymer, 70).
