So would I.  I only wish I WAS you, because that way I would get the
pleasure of wishing I was me.

By the way, an attempt to SPELL my name correctly would help, would it not?

The Piri Reis map was produced in 1503.  Stupid people would say that the
data on the map had nothing to do with the map.  Intelligent people would
have read the sources, which give the fact that the information was copied
off earlier maps, which I had already stated.

This is the letter you referred to in another post, by the way.

If the map shows the correct features in the correct place, given the
projection, the assumption of longitude is obvious.  Or at least, it is to
me.  I would have thought, with your ability to build castles in the air off
no evidence, it would have been obvious to you as well.

In simple terms.  If the projection on the map reveals features in the
correct relative place in two dimensions, this therefore means that the two
dimensions must have been "worked out".  One of these dimensions is
latitude, the other is longitude.

Of course, I did get ONE thing wrong - the date of the map is 1513, not
1503.

Hello?  Haven't we had this religion conversation before????  Tho' if you
can't even remember my name from a post to a reply, I can't expect you to
remember that - after all, it was at LEAST 4 months ago.
