I went through the analysis from UW-GB and it pretty much kills the most fantastic claim for the Piri Reis Map -- that it depicts the true Antarctic landmass without the ice. I guess that means there were no extra-terrestrials or seafaring civilizations between 4,000 and 9,000 BC.

Even so, the map is an amazing piece of work.

Thanks for the follow-up. The site that I had put up earlier gives the credit to the Turkish admiral, Piri. Reis means admiral in Turkish. It also, as you know, says it was made from many different maps. Truly amazing.
