Anyone have a Southern Hem of this type following?
Following is 's a projection of the Piri Reis, compiled by an Arab cartographer in 1513 our calendar. It is matched up with a view from space to show the differences. Is it more similar to the approximated coast 16000BC? I wonder how well they take into account the sea level difference of 120 meters. Piri's map sources included recent sources like columbus, explaining the modern and clear little dots for Caribean Isles.
you can find this picture here: http://www.scotese.com/lastice.htmI have heard the red dot is near some points that stick out of the ocean nowadays, St Michaels or something. Anyone know about this? Photos? Sonar?
