Summary

Description
English: Comparison of the the 1513 Piri Reis map's Caribbean coastline (left) to the 1492 Martin Behaim globe's Asian coastline (right)

This image was produced using the following public domain maps:

  • File:Martin Behaim 1492 Ocean Map.png
  • File:Piri reis world map 01.jpg

The Behaim Globe coasts are from the Encyclopedia Larousse Illustree (1898) reproduction. Both the Behaim and Piri Reis' coasts have been reduced to monochrome. All land from the Behaim globe is in white. The Cuban "mainland" and Hispaniola from the Piri Reis map are in white; islands from the map are not colored in.
