The mysterious map of the 16th century from the Ottoman admiral. Where did the most accurate map of antiquity come from? For more than 80 years, historians and archaeologists have been arguing about the mysterious geographical map of Piri flight, too accurate for the distant 16th century. No one has yet found answers to a historical riddle. Haji Mukhiddin Piri Ibn Haji Mehmed (aka Piri flight) was a famous Ottoman navigator, admiral and cartographer. The admiral spent all his life in naval battles, made many pirate raids, besieged fortresses and cities, such as Aden and Muscat. The ending of the admiral’s life was sad - in those cruel times, he was chopped off by his head in Cairo. In the 16th century, Piri flight commanded the Ottoman fleet and created many cards. One of them, among others, was found in 1929 during the work on the creation of a museum in the Sultan Palace of Topkapa in Istanbul. It is dated 1513 and signed by the name of the admiral. Currently, the precious card is located in the library of the Istanbul Palace of Topkapi, and it is rarely shown to the public. Modern researchers were shocked by seeing on an old map very accurate outlines of the coast of South and North America, Antarctica and many other lands unknown in the 16th century. How could the Ottoman admiral know modern geography and cartography?
