PIRI REIS

UNESCO agrees to declare 2013 year of Piri Reis so I got the fist place with this illustration in an international art competition. This map marks a significant event in the history of the country and has enabled its collective knowledge to be transmitted through generations. As a rare world map from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Piri Reis World Map is an invaluable piece of the world’s documentary heritage as it provides insight on the history of its time. It is therefore part of the Memory of the World and should be made better known.
