Original – The surviving fragment of the Piri Reis world map
Reason
This early map of the New World has already been selected as a featured picture on the Turkish and Arabic Wikipedia. It famously incorporates an early depiction of the Caribbean from the Voyages of Christopher Columbus. It was created at a point in time when the Ottoman Empire was still a major power in Europe. It is likely most famous for the disproven theory that it depicted an ice-free Antarctica.
