An Authentic 1690 Pirate Map (with embellishments) Postcards

This is a real Pirate Map from 1690, but the part about the treasure (i.e. the narrative on the bottom, the title I added on top, and all the stuff in red) is made up. I added it just for fun, and it has no basis in any historic facts whatsoever. The map is from “Hack's descript of ye East Indies”, also known as The Buccaneer Atlas because it is based on the experience of William Hacke (the cartographer) in association with Captain Bartholomew Sharpe, the notorious Buccaneer, on various expeditions to the South Seas. No buried treasure, but a navigational aid for finding hidden rivers, bays and other hideaways or site for ambuscades. See my other maps for an unembellished version.

Coats of arms of the United Arab Emirates Shirt

The coat of arms of the United Arab Emirates (Arabic: شعار الإمارات العربية المتحدة‎) was officially adopted in 1973. It is similar to the coats of arms of other Arab states.

The falcon had a red disk which shows an Arab sailboat in its interior. The disk is surrounded by a chain. The falcon holds with its talons a red parchment bearing the name of the federation in Kufic script. On March 22 2008, the coat of arms was modified. The main change was that the Arab sailboat was replaced by the UAE flag and seven stars representing the seven Emirates of the federation.
