#4 – Piri Reis Map
via 1400g.files.wordpress.com complain
Dating to the early 1500s this map shows the coastlines of South America, Europe, and Africa with amazing precision. Research showed that it was constructed on a gazelle skin by admiral of the Turkish fleet and cartographer Piri Reis (hence the name) in 1513. This amazing map was found by a group of historians in 1929.
