The map is known by the name of its author, admiral Piri Reis. Only half of the original map survives today.

Yay!
Someone mentioned the Piri Reis Map without also mentioning Atlantis.
Thank you :)
That and the claim that it shows Antarctica just because there’s some imaginary land down there drive me nuts. They knew Antarctica existed but not Tierra del Fuego, which was a lot closer? Call me dubious.
