Salaam merkage. I hadn't heard of this before. Have you actually seen this on a regular map? Sounds interesting, I'm going to have to look it up.

merkage

yes, in fact, i discovered it, i had not ever heard of this miracle, yet after reading how the muslim scientists of old used to draw their maps, i thought, how would it look with modern day mapping

Samia

How does one draw a map up-side-down? Maybe it was drawn correctly but someone turned the paper up-side-down and looked at the map!!

merkage

this was back when maps were being invented..

the point is, today, in the 21st century, we have a perfect world map. when viewed from the correct position, ie. 180 degrees, the continents spell Allah.

Maps were invented after Islam? confused

merkage

Maps were invented after Islam? confused

yes.

the muslim arabs were the first

Samia

yes.

the muslim arabs were the first

If you just do a search of one minute, you will find who were the first to draw a map, and it was long before Islam. Muslims added to them and advanced on them, but did not invent them

Yeah I actually think it was probably the Persian Empire.

Anaximander, a philosopher from Miletus who lived during the first half of the 6th century B.C., is credited with making the first map of the known world around 540 B.C.. He also invented a type of sun dial.

2788 Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.

merkage

are you confirming this miracle or opposing it

Jack

it's not a miracle (subjective term) unless you have proof for such miracle which you don't... yet anyway

Twilight

Couldn't you post a picture which shows this, like the one I did...but with each of the letters pointed out?

Jack

lol how about you demonstrate how this is possible? i surely don't see it. Like Nun says 'you see what you wanna see'

P.S. if you are gonna try for name-calling at least spell it right

And it wasn't just Muslims that drew the World Map 'upside down'
