Ottoman admiral, Piri Reis' old map was discovered by Bay H. E. Eldem, Director of National Museums in 1929, when the old Ottoman Imperial Palace—Topkapu Saray was being turned into a Museum of Antiquites. This old map was missing for a long time.The detailed research of Prof. P. Kahle and other scholars have presented very important informations regarding this map, because it was sometimes called "the map of Columbus".This paper gives the explanation about figure, substance matter, preserved condition and two varieties of this old map, and shows the big image of well-known Turkish admiral in the 16th century with some interesting episode. At the same time, this paper points out that Ottoman Turks were excellent experts in the field of cartography and they stood very far above the level of European cartography in those days.
