An intricately carved globe pieced together from two bottom shells of ostrich eggs may have just taken over the title of the oldest depiction of the 'New World', from the copper etched Hunt-Lenox globe that lies in The New York Public Library. What is even more interesting is that ostrich globe which is believed to have been created between 1504-1506 used Leonardo Da Vinci's unique 'triangle' technique to transfer the 2-dimensional map drawing into a 3-dimensional sphere, leading Belgian cartographer Stefaan Missinne to speculate that it may be the work of a skilled artist from Da Vinci's Florence studio.

manuellota약 12년I think it is very authentic. I wonder why it is not in a museum. Have the scientist checked it for DNA. I want to go to New York and see it.
diachokkj약 12년I really enjoyed this article,it had so many interesting facts. One of the most interesting facts was, the shell was carved by hand. It says that in the first paragraph. I wonder what it was like when they were doing all those tests.

santillitd약 12년I think that the egg is really cool. It is amazing that it didn't break. I do think the egg is the real thing. It would be cool to see the egg in person.
coucham약 12년I LOVED the article because the eggshell is a MAP!!! The egg was an ostrich egg, and that totally stuns me cause it's a carved original animal egg!!! And "HIC SVNT DRACONES" kinda freaks me out... but dragons don't exist :)

jordanse약 12년I find this passage very interesting.I wonder if the egg is the real thing!So far,I think the egg is real.However,if they can think like geolegists,and prove it's real with super old rock style,I'd be suprized!Thanks!- santillitd약 12년I learned that the egg is real and very cool.I think that the article was cool.I want to learn more about it some time again.I still cant believe that it did not break.
saundersonab약 12년I believe that there are not that many other eggs that have maps on them but maybe lots of replicas. It is weird because it is a ostrich egg and has a map of when Christopher Columbus "Sail the Ocean Blue" and other events.
