SYDNEY (Reuters) - A 16th century...By Michael Perry<br />SYDNEY (Reuters) - A 16th century maritime map in a Los Angeles library vault proves that Portuguese adventurers, not British or Dutch, were the first Europeans to discover Australia, says a new book which details the secret discovery of Australia.<br /><br />The book "Beyond Capricorn" says the map, which accurately marks geographical sites along Australia's east coast in Portuguese, proves that Portuguese seafarer Christopher de Mendonca lead a fleet of four ships into Botany Bay in 1522 -- almost 250 years before Britain's Captain James Cook.<br /><br />Australian author Peter Trickett said that when he enlarged the small map he could recognize all the headlands and bays in Botany Bay in Sydney -- the site where Cook claimed Australia for Britain in 1770.<br /><br />"It was even so accurate that I found I could draw in the modern airport runways, to scale in the right place, without any problem at all," Trickett told Reuters on Wednesday.<br /><br />Trickett said he stumbled across a copy of the map while browsing through a Canberra book shop eight years ago.<br /><br />He said the shop had a reproduction of the Vallard Atlas, a collection of 15 hand drawn maps completed no later than 1545 in France. The maps represented the known world at the time.<br /><br />Two of the maps called "Terra Java" had a striking similarity to Australia's east coast except at one point the coastline jutted out at right angles for 1,500 km (932 miles).<br /><br />"There was something familiar about them but they were not quite right -- that was the puzzle. How did they come to have all these Portuguese place names?," Trickett said.<br /><br />Trickett believed the cartographers who drew the Vallard maps had wrongly aligned two Portuguese charts they were copying from.<br /><br />It is commonly accepted that the French cartographers used maps and "portolan" charts acquired illegally from Portugal and Portuguese vessels that had been captured, Trickett said.<br /><br />"The original portolan maps would have been drawn on animal hide parchments, usually sheep or goat skin, of limited size," he explained. "For a coastline the length of eastern Australia, some 3,500 kms, they would have been 3 to 4 charts."<br /><br />"The Vallard cartographer has put these individual charts together like a jigsaw puzzle. Without clear compass markings its possible to join the southern chart in two different ways. My theory is it had been wrongly joined."<br /><br />Using a computer Trickett rotated the southern part of the Vallard map 90 degrees to produce a map which accurately depicts Australia's east coast.<br /><br />"They provided stunning proof that Portuguese ships made these daring voyages of discovery in the early 1520s, just a few years after they had sailed north of Australia to reach the Spice Islands -- the Moluccas. This was a century before the Dutch and 250 years before Captain Cook," he said.<br /><br />Trickett believes the original charts were made by Mendonca who set sail from the Portuguese base at Malacca with four ships on a secret mission to discover Marco Polo's "Island of Gold" south of Java.<br /><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSSYD3449720070321?sp=trueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36439815.post-53730074255627918912009-07-27T20:20:54.928+01:002009-07-27T20:20:54.928+01:00"¿Y donde esta Colon?", la respuesta es ..."¿Y donde esta Colon?", la respuesta es fulminante: "A Colon se lo comió el león".<br /><br />http://www.galeon.com/juliodominguez/leoncolon.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
