I just wanted to chime in and say that you sir are a brilliant example of what a true researcher is. You don't put in your own two-cents like everyone else likes to do, you pull together multiple sources never discrediting any of them showcasing that you have a mind which understands that a puzzle cannot make sense until ALL pieces are brought together. I pray that you continue your work and share your acquired knowledge.
As for the OP, great video and thank you for sharing.

and the piri reis map,

One just needs to examine that part of the map carefully to realize, even without being an expert cartographer, that it represents nothing more than the extremity of the south-american continent, an approximate representation made possibile by means available at that time. The drawing is deformed, slanted to the right, possibly to conform to the peculiar shape of the piece of parchment. It is also worth mentioning that cartographic maps were used as political tools as well. Placing some land on either side of the meridian dubbed "la Raya" which was agreed upon as a demarcation between Spanish and Portuguese zones of influence could serve as an excuse for the corresponding power to claim rights of possession. Piri Reis often mentions Portuguese maps in his notes, and of course Portuguese would have preferred the coast south of Brazil to bend sharply to the right towards Africa. That would have placed the coast within the 180 degrees assigned to their jurisdiction by Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494.

One of hardest and greatest contribution a scientist can make is to provide sufficient facts that can cause a wrong theory to be discarded. Keeping everything in play might seem like a good idea but after a while you will be overwhelmed.
Should we still consider the earth as flat or can we safely reject it? Should we pour research money into it? Etc.
I would suggest looking at a book called 'Dictionary of Theories' by Jennifer Bothamley; in which she lists the thousands of failed and discarded theories thought up, studied and ultimately rejected.
In this case the idea that the Piri Reis was made from or influenced by a 'lost map' made by aliens or advanced humans simply fails.

Subtle as ever harte subtle but even though I of course can not but disagree with you and believe you are wrong on this matter and several others I actually grinned at this one.

here is a statue from my country, ancient...
It cannot be explained, because... we all see a slave holding the laptop of his mistress.... it also have 2 look a like usb ports..
Lounging in a cushioned armchair, a woman reaches out to touch the lid of a shallow chest held by a servant girl on this funerary relief. The depiction of the deceased reaching out for an item held by a servant has a long history in Greek funerary art and probably alludes to the hope of continuing earthly pleasures in the afterlife. The dead woman must have come from a prominent and wealthy family. Numerous elements on the relief signal her high status, as do the scale and overall quality of the work. She wears snake-bracelets, presumably gold, on her upper and lower arms. Her elaborate chair has a turned leg decorated with lions' paws and an eagle arm-support. Also the clothes and hairstyle of the attendant characterize the young girl as a slave.
This relief has been substantially altered over the years. Originally, it took the form of a shallow naiskos, or three-sided grave monument, but three elements have been cut away: an architectural top portion, probably in the form of a pediment; the left side wall; and a lower portion that probably had an inscription. These alterations may have occurred in 1770 when the relief became part of the collection of Lord Lansdowne and was hung over a door in his London house.
