An extensively comprehensive study of the Piri Reis Map of 1513, concerning the sciences of Medieval Cartographic methods and modern sciences of Latitude and Trigonometry. Supported by numerous figures and example maps, the Hapgood work expresses a dynamic study of the Piri Reis Map. Later chapters express a view that the Piri Reis Map was too advanced for the period, as well as other maps which were its contemporary, and concludes that those maps must have been the product of a pre-classical civilization capable of measuring advanced distances with greater accuracy than Medieval cartographers.
