Summary Report: 

The Piri Reis map was found at renovation works in the Topkapi-Palace in Istanbul. The map is dated with 1519, but Admiral Piri Reis explains in the text, that he built this map out of many much older maps, some of which he received in Alexandria (Egypt). The map contains the coast line of the Antarctic, including islands and parts of South America.

In his Book “Im Namen von Zeus”, Erich von Däniken writes: “… During the “International Geophysical Year 1957″ the Jesuit Father Lineham, who was then director of the Weston Observatory and at the same time cartographer of the U.S. Navy, took up the Piri Reis map. He came to the same conclusion as his colleagues. The Antarctic part of the Piri Reis map impressed by an unbelievable precision with many details, which became public only as a result of the Swedish-British-Norwegian expeditions of 1949 and 1952…” and “… On July 6, 1960, Harold Z. Ohlmeyer, then head of a U.S. Air Force division engaged in mapping Antarctica, wrote to Professor Charles Hapgood: “The coastlines (on the Piri-Reis map) must have been mapped before Antarctica was covered with ice. The ice in this area today is about a mile thick. We have no idea how to reconcile the data on the Piri-Reis map with the geographic knowledge of 1513…”.

Who was able to map a coast line, which lies under kilometers of ice since millennia, with such precision?
