A New Theory on Mapping the New World

|
|
In 1507, a group of scholars working in France produced an extraordinary map
|
|
of the world, the first to put the still-recent discoveries of Columbus and
|
|
others into a new continent separate from Asia, and to call that continent
|
|
"America." With the Waldseemuller map, the New World was born.
|
|
But there was something else. What would later come to be called South
|
|
America and Central America were surprisingly well-shaped, not only on the
|
|
east coast, where explorers had already sailed, but also on the west coast
|
|
-- which no European was known to have seen.
|
|
The ice cream cone bulge that sticks out into the Pacific at the junction of
|
|
modern-day Chile and Peru is readily visible and in almost exactly the right
|
|
geographical spot -- not only in the main map, but also in an inset printed
|
|
along its top.
|
|
The shape of South America in the main map appears distorted because of the
|
|
curvature of the Earth.
|
|
It is an improbable coincidence, if it was a coincidence, for the map -- 12
|
|
large printed pages to be arrayed in one 36-square-foot wall display -- was
|
|
published six years before Vasco Balboa's 1513 trip across the Isthmus of
|
|
Panama and 12 years before Ferdinand Magellan's 1519-22 trip around the
|
|
world.
|
|
Did someone get there earlier?
