I'm curious about those early Piri Reis maps - how did a 16th century cartographer depict Antarctic coastlines so accurately, centuries before modern exploration? What sources might he have accessed? Fascinating historical mystery.

I'm curious about those 1513 Piri Reis maps - did they really depict Antarctica's coast? The cartography research is fascinating, but I wonder how accurate the details were or if it was perhaps a different landmass entirely? What evidence supports this?
