19. The Peri Reis Map
When a group of historians went exploring the world during the latter part of the 1920s, they stumbled upon a mysterious discovery – a map that was hand-written by an admiral in the Turkish Navy, Peri Reis during 1513. What’s special about this map? It is because this map mentions a list of all directions of the continents of the world. It mentions about Antarctica, which was probably not even formed during 1513!
