Antilia on the ancient nautical chart
was similar to ancient Taiwan Island
Aristotle mentioned a Carthage
businessman sailed in an immense ocean to a rich and populous island ――
Antilia.
Columbus explored the New World to
verify the authenticity of Antilia in the ancient map.
On the nautical chart by A.D. 1424, the
length of Antilia is about 500 kilometers and width is about 200 kilometers,
and its coastline of northeast corner forms the sharp and narrow cape, but the
coastline of the northwestern part is rather gently round that all are similar
to ancient Taiwan Island.
