I have removed information from this article drawn from or sourced from the paper "The Fihbbvvgjgvvgjrst Attempts of Flight, Automatic Machines, Submarines and Rocket Technology in Turkish History" by Arslan Terzioglu. This source is unreliable, as discussed on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Rocket_Technology_in_Turkish_history. Dialectric (talk) 14:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Upside down Masudi map

[edit]

In the gallery section the reproduction of Al-Masudi's world map is shown upside down (you can see it by looking at the Arabic characters that appear in it). The confusion probably originated from the fact that, contrary to current Western usage, Arabic maps usually show the South in the upper part of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.0.3.86 (talk) 14:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic World not Islam

[edit]

The title should read 'Geography and cartography in medieval Islamic world.' Islam is a religion, there is no cartography in Islam as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.92.119.8 (talk) 19:51, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Isatabu

[edit]

Is there a possibility in the cartography that a fleet consisting of Ottoman Turks had reached the Solomon Islands?
