Our world is also no stranger to unexplained mysteries, and there are numerous examples of verified phenomena, ancient monuments, books, teachings, understandings, and more that lack any explanation and counter what we’ve already been taught. We are like a race with amnesia, as author Graham Hancock once said, able to put together small bits and pieces of our history yet unable to fit it all together. There are still many missing pieces to the puzzle.
One great example is the Piri Reis map, a genuine document and world map that was copied at Constantinople in AD 1513 from older documents and discovered in 1929. A German theologian named Gustav Adolf Deissmann was cataloguing items in the Topkapi Palace library in Istanbul when he happened across a curious parchment located among some disregarded material. The original is at least 5000 years old. Unfortunately the full map in its entirety was never found.
It was drawn by Admiral Piri Reis of the Ottoman era, a well-known historical figure. He made a copy of the map, which was originally drawn based on documents that date back to at least the fourth century BC, and on information obtained by multiple explorers. Reis was well known for his interest in geography and navigation.
