----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Frank & MAPS-L Folk: The late Dr. George Kish while at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor had conducted research on the Piri Reis map in question. I have somewhere in my personal files (unfortunately not cataloged nor entered in Pro Cite or other program) a copy of an article that Dr. Kish had published. You may search indexes under Dr. Kish's name for additional information on this subject. Kish may also be entered as "Kiss." James O.
