The Waldseemuller shows Four Portuguese Flags |
The map made by Waldseemuller in 1507 shows FOUR Portuguese flags in the Southern Atlantic, or Quinas (fives) of Portugal. I have circle them with red pencil.
Please, notice the name America is written on the South America continent. This is very the first time that the name America was used! The red arrow point to it.
It is really amazing that in 1507, the Portuguese controlled all the southern Atlantic. They had discovered also the Pacific Ocean under secrecy!
