The Piri Reis Map & Ancient Human History (Part 2)
Episode Bio
We are back with part two of our three part series on the Piri Reis map and the possible secrets about our ancient past hidden within it's beautiful cartography. Ahmed Muhiddin Piri was a very respected ottoman admiral among other things and his works are nothing short of spectacular. He is most famous for two pieces in particular; the Kitāb-ı Baḥrīye, or "Book of the Sea" or "Book of Navigation", and arguably the more fantastic of the two, the Piri Reis map. This map has baffled scientists across all fields of science, geography, oceanography, archaeology, historians, and many more. While some believe it to be evidence, and quite possibly proof, of at least one ancient, advanced culture that us moderns have yet to discover, others tend to not lean that way and for good reasons of course. It's a highly speculative subject and it might be up for debate until the end of days. We may never know where Piri Reis obtained his source maps in order to create his and who had what knowledge of the ancient world when it came to seafaring. However, if there was an undiscovered ancient culture that mastered maritime travel then where are they now? How come we can't find any sign of them anywhere? Well, there might be a good reason for this. In this episode we discuss the possibility of the existence of said culture and the helping hand, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, that could've played a part in their potential demise. Have a listen to the episode and learn with Joshua and Matthew on the idea that what we've been taught in school...was incorrectly documented or worse, an outright lie.
