In 1929, while restoration work was underway at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, a group of historians discovered an ancient map that would spark one of the biggest controversies in the history of cartography. Known as the Piri Reis Map, this document, dated 1513, was created by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. However, what makes this map so extraordinary is not only its age, but the geographical details it appears to depict, far more advanced than could be expected for its time.
