[edit] Turkish map
hello, i was wondering if any1 had any info on that turkish map showing the earth from space?
That is the 'Piri Reis' map, there are many references on the internet, including Wikipedia
Yes, i do. there is a picture in the book itself and if you ask me it is pretty realistic and i could infact belve it if it wasn't for this nagging thing called logic which keeps distracting me.
- Logic is just fine ;-) Check Steven Dutch (on cartographical questions) or Walter Hain (on the history of non-scientific "research"; in German) on the subject. The map is extraordinary - but entirely terrestrial, and entirely 16th century. Jonas 07:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eric Von Fraud
I believe the book was originally titled 'Chariots of the Gods', then renamed with the '?' tacked onto the end. Apparently, this was due to a Euro-Court ruling that says you can't publish bullshit as fact. So, the addition of the question mark made it 'legal'.
I've also heard that photos in the book show a huge stone stairwell turned upside down, with the associated caption saying "What titanic forces caused this object to be flipped on it's back?" Those forces were....he printed the picture upside down.
And finally, there are photos of cave-paintings from Iraq with a 'man with a space-helmet'. It seems that Eric went into this cave, and scrated the helmet onto the ancient drawing (supposedly there is an outstanding arrest warrent in Iraq for him).
- Some citations for those statements would be nice! -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chariots Of The Gods.jpg
Image:Chariots Of The Gods.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
