Its depiction of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea is more or less accurate, or at least recognizable. But their understanding of the world was quite different from ours, and Martellus’s map reflects that. In the process, they’ve discovered new clues about the sources Martellus used to make his map and confirmed the huge influence it had on later maps, including a famous 1507 map by Martin Waldseemuller that was the first to use the name “America.” MARTELLUS AND COLUMBUSĬontrary to popular myth, 15th-century Europeans did not believe that Columbus would sail off the edge of a flat Earth, says Chet Van Duzer, the map scholar who led the study. Most of it has faded over the centuries.īut now researchers have used modern technology to uncover much of this previously illegible text. The map, created by the German cartographer Henricus Martellus, was originally covered with dozens of legends and bits of descriptive text, all in Latin. In fact, Columbus likely used a copy of it in planning his journey. ![]() Note: Even the map had been published in 1907 it could be a hoax but if this map is true it means they are hiding infinite amounts of land beyond Antarctica for the public.This 1491 map is the best surviving map of the world as Christopher Columbus knew it as he made his first voyage across the Atlantic. On his return, he performed a few radio and TV show interviews and in his own words he said that there was a secret land mass the size of America beyond the South Pole. Remember, in December 1946-1947, Admiral Richard Byrd visited Antarctica on “Operation High Jump”. The above map with all the continents and even the Hawaiian Islands shown was evidently not made by the priests who traced the original lines. Kobayashi’s brother, and of which the accompanying cut is a tracing, is worm-eaten and barely holds together. The original map of which a copy drawn by Dr. Kobayashi and it has been hidden from the Japanese government in modern times just as it was in ancient times, for in olden days such a map would have been destroyed by the authorities.Īccording to a letter the original map was brought from China by a Buddhist priest and concealed in this temple. The map was found by his brother in a Japanese temple in the mountains of Japan, said Dr. The map is drawn on the principle of the Mercator Projection showing the North Pole as the center of a circle in which are the continents of North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Kobayashi, the well-known Japanese physician and surgeon of Honolulu has received a copy of the map, which he believes to have been made by Chinese priests ten centuries ago. It is a map of the world made 1000 years ago. Extract from the 1907 article: Stranger almost than the “Manuscript found in a copper Cylinder” is the copy of a map which came across seas to Honolulu from a Buddhist Temple in the mountains of central Japan.
