if you make a video about unsolved mysteries and bring up the piri reis map just know I'm clicking off that with INSANE speed
#it's only an unsolved mystery if you're a lazy bastard that can't be bothered to do some googling#srry this shit just gets me HEATED lmfao#omg.. this place that's labeled 'place with all the snakes' must be antarctica.. there is no other possible location it could be depicting.#ALSO the fucking fact it's made up of OTHER peoples maps!!#a common practice at the time!!#also they would exaggerate features!! hence why south america fucking looks like that#also puerto rico as well#bc they're literally sailing around in a boat with a fucking pencil so ofc the bays and stuff are gonna be exaggerated#not a pencil but yk im being facetious#god in the videos as well ofc they have to mention lost advanced civilizations or aliens#fucking exploding you with my mind!!!!!!!!#oH GOD and a youtube comment#“well actually! when they sailed around antarctica they say green grass so that must be why they did it that way :3”#1. places on maps are depicated as different colours to DISTINGUISH them from other countries#2. antarctica was NOT green 600 years ago#3. if it has 'green grass' that is a recent thing AND IS NOT GOOD!!!!#anyway tldr that map just shows south america and tierra del fuego just looks like that bc of how the map was drawn
