The study deals with the personality of Piri Reis, his book "Al-Bahriya", and the maps he drew of the world in the sixteenth century, which were so accurate that some claimed that they were drawn by aliens. Many books were written about the most important map in his collection of maps, which is the one he drew specifically for the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, which was found in 1929.
Since that date, the world has begun to try to uncover this personality, who became famous through his maps known by his name, which include almost all parts of the world, as they are like an atlas of maps, but the most important map in this collection of maps is the map of the eastern coast of the American continent; as it was found that there is an amazing match between it and the maps recorded and photographed by satellites for this coast. This map has put Western scientists in a big predicament; because it was drawn many years before the known discovery of Columbus; so, we see them avoiding admitting that these maps were drawn by Piri Reis; because if they admitted this, it would mean that the Turks were roaming the American coasts before the birth of Columbus, and that they were moving in all the oceans between the poles.
