Thought the Piri Reis map was just a weird old drawing, but the coastline matches up too well for it to be a coincidence.
After seeing a side by side overlay of the Antarctica coast under ice and the map, I can't unsee it, has anyone else looked into the actual survey data or is it all just a hoax to sell books?

Has a buddy ever tried to pass off an old map as real treasure directions? My friend Mark dug up his backyard based on a 1700s map he bought online, spent three weekends before his wife made him stop and fill it back in. Turns out the map was just a tourist souvenir from a gift shop, but he still swears the coastline on it matches the local beach somehow.

That reminds me of my cousin Derek, he once tried to claim an old pizza box drawing was a map to a buried time capsule from the 80s. He even had us digging under his porch for two hours in the rain before we realized the scrawled "X" was just a grease stain. @paulw63, your buddy Mark sounds like he's got that same blind faith thing going, my cousin still insists the pepperoni pattern matched the local park's layout. The worst part is he spent fifty bucks on a cheap metal detector to find nothing but a rusty bike chain and a petrified hot dog.
