	Columbus and the Piri Reis Map of 1513
		The Piri Reis Map of 1513 is one of the most beautiful, interesting, important, and mysterious maps to have survived from the Age of Discovery.
		Though the Piri Reis Map of 1513 probably does contain within its delineations a copy of a map made by Christopher Columbus, or under his supervision, claims that the map depicts lands not yet known in 1513 are baseless, rely upon subjective, eye-of-the-beholder comparisons with modern maps, and ignore more coherent explanations.
		The shape and orientation of Hispaniola on the Piri Reis Map is strikingly similar to the depiction of the island of Cipango on maps of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

	The Piri Re'is Map
		The Piri Re'is Map is only one of several anomalous maps drawn in the 15th Century and earlier which appear to represent better information about the shape of the continents than should have been known at the time.
		The Piri Re'is map is most interesting because of the attribution of the source of its information, and the extraordinary detail of the coastal outlines.
		The Piri Re'is map is one of the cornerstones of the growing body of evidence for an unknown Ice Age civilization.

		Piri Reis could not have acquired his information on this latter region from contemporary explorers because Antarctica remained undiscovered until 1818 CE, more than 300 years after he drew the map.
		Piri Reis did not venture any suggestion as to the identity of the cartographers who had produced the earlier maps.
		The source maps that Piri Reis used to draw up his 1513 map were, in all probability, originally lodged in the Imperial Library at Constantinople, to which the Admiral is known to have enjoyed privileged access.

		This part of the Piri Reis map is thus not based on maps from the ancient civilization postulated by Hapgood.
		As there is a striking similar- ity between this map and the Piri Reis map, it is therefore possible that one of Piri Reis' source maps was based on that of de Canerio rather than on one produced by an ancient civiliza- tion.
		To put it more simply, Piri Reis, or the scribe who copied his work, may have realized, as he came to the Rio de la Plata, that he was going to run off the edge of his valuable parchment if he continued south.

		Piri Reis was the nephew of Kemal, and had sailed with his uncle since he was a boy.
		Piri Reis, from the time he was a boy, had kept notes of harbors entered, compass bearings, reefs, shallows and hidden rocks, and was by now an experienced cartographer: The more than 125 large-scale maps in the Kitab-i Bahriye, "The Book of the Navy," show just how skillful he was.
		As Piri Reis makes clear in his Kitab-i Bahriye, the secret of rounding the Cape of Good Hope, at the southern tip of Africa, was first to head far to the south west to pick up the winds that would drive one around the Cape.

		Piri Reis appears to have bent the bottom of South America because, in terms of seafaring navigation, it actually is bent upwards, towards Europe.
		Piri Reis was simply accounting for the curvature of the earth in his map of 1513, and was using the European coastline as his basis for "bending" the rest of the world to fit.

		The Piri Reis ‘missing’ island should therefore have appeared on this map of the seabed, however the Geostat map shows no evidence of any such island nor any submerged mountains.
		Obviously the answer is yes, however it should be remembered that Piri Reis readily admitted that he had merely complied his world map from twenty or more smaller maps, and these in turn were probably compiled from even smaller and older maps.

		The accuracy that the Piri Reis Map has results from his "source maps" being reconstructed with the assumption that original source maps were accurate and any errors in it came from copying and compilation.
		Thus, any errors in the Piri Reis map were eliminated by fitting the Piri Reis to modern maps and accounting for the misfits by adjusting the boundaries and separate grids of his hypothesized and unproven "source maps".
		As a result, the alleged accuracy of the Piri Reis Map could just be the result of the assumptions made by Dr. Hapgood as to the source of the errors in the existing map.

		However, I think it is also important to examine the wording used by various "alternative historian" authors to bolster their case that the Piri Reis map was based on other, much older maps.
		From this quotation, it is quite clear that the author's intent is to establish and assert that the details of the map are provided, in the majority, by an unknown person or group of persons that are lost in antiquity.
		Piri Reis did, however, give very specific references to the cartographers' countries of origin and the timeframe in which they drew their maps.

		Per questi motivi la mappa di Piri Reis, compilata a partire da mappamondi più vecchi assieme a qualche nuova conoscenza di terza mano, è una raffigurazione delle nuove terre che si affacciano sull'Oceano Atlantico molto approssimativa.
		Piri Reis nelle note cita continuamente le mappe dei portoghesi ai quali avrebbe fatto comodo che la costa dell'America del sud sotto il Brasile curvasse decisamente a destra, verso l'Africa, in modo da rientrare nei 180° assegnati al Portogallo dal trattato di Tordesillas del 1494.
