Up close detail of the Mediterranean Queen, in the Ionian Basin.
And then, a stunner. I think I see how the Greek National Flag came to be, in the horizontal and vertical canals/roads of the floor of the Mediterranean Sea. Consequently, plausibly two thousand plus years later, the flag of the United States followed in the Greek model design.
I believe I see the outline of the "cross of the Greek flag" in the convergent lines on the left side of the image.

I am calling the convergence of those North-South, East-West convergence lines, "the Heather Davis Convergence". See also...

There is also the strongest of possibilities, that the Jerusalem Cross, and the Maltese Cross shown here, were also the graphic representation of the geographic location of the Greek Cross. It begs the thought that possibly Jerusalem as we know it, was the higher elevation, modern representative, of this location on the Mediterranean floor.

One of the most recurring myths is the cultural, racial, and geographic isolation of Australia from the rest of the world.
I would like to take 5 minutes and dispel this myth as a ridiculous urban legend, since even in modern times, today, there is a virtual "Land Bridge" between Asia and Australia.
There is no open ocean expanse from Asia to Australia larger than 120 miles, and usually less than 15 miles, in depths very shallow, none more than 600 feet that I could determine. In fact, the average depth of those few ocean expanses is probably less than 50 feet deep.
The only questionable distance is the ocean expanse from Sidabadu, New Guinea, and Cape York, Queensland, Australia. That 120 mile stretch is dotted with about 20 intermediate islands, making it easily crossable. (red circle inset)
I am sure I don't need to add that ancient roads, convergences, geometrics, are all visible in the deeper parts of this image, down to 17,000 feet deep.
My next challenge to present and legend to debunk, is the "geographic isolation of Australia from Africa". The last alleged "land bridge" between these two continents is guessed at over a million years ago. I am suggesting that 10,000 years of isolation is probably a better number, but that is my next graphic.
Shabti box of the priest Nes-r-amun. A hieroglyphic text along the sides quotes from Chapter 6 of the Book of the Dead: "O you shabti(s), if the Osiris Nes-r-amun is called to perform any task that is to be done within the necropolis, obstacles are indeed set before him, just as a man at his duties. You shall then say 'Here I am'."

Nabucodonosor conquistou Jerusalém em 597 a.C. e dez anos depois a destruiu completamente, levando os judeus ao Exílio Babilônico. Esse fato causou a ira dos Profetas do Velho Testamento, que escreveram aquilo que de fato viria a acontecer tempos depois, quase uma profecia: "Babilônia, a jóia dos reinos, glória e orgulho dos caldeus, será como Sodoma e Gomorra, quando Deus as transtornou. Nunca mais será habitada..." (Isaías, 13,19-22). "Mas a cidade não será mais destruída. Sofrerá a morte lenta pelo abandono dos séculos"

I am starting a series on the middle of the Atlantic, and in this case South Atlantic near Cape Town. These areas are saturated with human architected structures, roads, convergences, and King/Queen portraits.
On the viewing preference, I suggest opening the graphic and then increasing the visual perspective of Windows to 150% to see extremely minute details of the "organized architected structures" concentrated to the Southwest of Cape Town. Certainly one of my next questions and answers is..."Where are all those ocean-floor-roads leading to?"
Again, special thanks to Indiana University, (aka Inanna, Enanna -Sumerian Goddess) for their composite topography images, pieced together for another amazing view, this one of the South Atlantic.

Babylon, the legendary city, is indeed, the most famous ancient city in the whole World. It was the capital of ten Mesopotamian dynasties starting with the dynasty of King Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC); the 6th king of the 1st dynasty; reaching prominence as the capital city of the great kingdom of Babylonia. The last dynasty at which Babylon achieved its zenith, is well known particularly of its 2nd king, Nebuchadnezzar II (605-563 BC), to whom most of Babylon's existing buildings belongs.
Berlin-Pergamon; Babylonian Wal. Parts of the gate and lions from the Processional Way are in various other museums around the world.
The famous pyramids located in Giza, Egypt. They are depicted here in an engraving by 16th-century Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck.
This headless statue of an athletic, mature male figure is missing the upper part of his torso and parts of his hands. He is represented seated upon a rock with the mantle worn over the shoulder and wrapped over his left arm. The lion skin draped over his knees identifies the figure as Heracles.
The statue appears to be one of several much larger Roman reflections of the famed Heracles Epitrapezios (at the table), a small silver statuette of Lysippus which is said to have been made for Alexander the Great before passing first into the possession of Hannibal and then into that of Sulla.
This particular reflection of Heracles Epitrapezios is intriguing because of the report that it was discovered together with a moulded plinth, which appears to have been lost sometime between 1866, the date of its alleged discovery, and 1898. That plinth, according to some sources, is said to have been inscribed in Greek, although Schreiber reports seeing that inscription scratched on the back of the statue. That inscription has been transcribed as [-]ΔΩΡ[-] [ΕΠΟΙΗΣ]ΕΝ. If its very existence and its association with this statue can be confirmed, that inscription provides the partially preserved name of this statue’s sculptor, “...dor...created [this statue]...” The statue and its signature would then be unique for Alexandrian art, since no other sculptor’s signature is heretofore attested on a Roman copy of a Greek original, although such signatures are known, if only rarely, on other copies, such as the replica of the Wounded Amazon by Polykleitos in Rome signed by Sosikles.

It can only be appreciated using Photoshop, and making the Master Jerusalem Graphic as "Layer 1", and then the Blue Master as "Layer 2", and toggling up and down, to show the amazing fit.

Located in Saudi Arabia, Mada'in Saleh is a remnant of Nabatean civilisation, much the same as Petra in Jordan. This is the largest of the tombs there, complete on the outside, but not on the inside, and never used. It was supposed to be for the last king of the region, but there was an unfortunate Roman-related incident which viciously cut short building works by removing said king from power as a tribute to the timeless art of regicide.
Now that I've amused you all with my eloquence, does anyone else think this looks kind of like a hilarious photoshop job? =P

Penetrated by the Euphrates from north to south, Babylon was surrounded by a moat and a double wall: the outer wall was 16 km long, the inner, 8 km. Straight, wide streets intercrossed, all paved with bricks and bitumen. The most important was the Street of Processions, which passed through Ishtar's Gate and ended in the Stepped Tower. The remains of this street with its bituminous paving are still there to be seen today.

Adams 1981 Heartland of Cities: Site A275 (Tell Abu Salabikh). Probably Ubaid.
This ancient map, labeled Oceanum, Enea Agli Elisi, Andrea de Jorio, plausibly depicts the North Atlantic before the flood.
I will be spending the next two months overlaying portions of this map onto the North Atlantic floor. In all truthfulness, some portions like the far left and bottom right fit like a glove over the topography. Other portions don't seem to fit at all, so I am being very cautious here.
What I find most fascinating is that the map has the ancient names, and the "Nomi Moderni" modern translated names. It is like an ancient "Rosetta Stone" translation of Atlantean to Modernish names.
How astonishing is this?
On the left is the Avernus, Queendom/Kingdom of Eve. In the bottom left is the Templo Apollo and the "Antrium Sibyilli", in the bottom right is the Cocytus, plausibly named Acqua Morde, Sea of the Dead, and Monte di Poseida, Mountain of Poseidon, and Golfo di Poseudi (sp?), I believe Mountain and Gulf of Poseidon.
July 26, 2014 update: There are also the Atlantean Benchmarks of "Tartarea Regna", Elysium, and Antrium Cerberri (entrance to the Underworld).
There is also the plausible reference to Athena in Acherusia Palus. (Pallas Athena?), with a modernish translation of "Frislandiani".
Two historic notes: In 2010, I advised the Canadian Government that the "Templum Apollo" reference was most probably located within the modern name of "Flemish Cap". I also strongly believe that the tips of the Poseidon Trident are roughly displayed to the left of the "m-n-o" keys of the "Nomi Moderni" listings. This identical Trident-prong is shared in many multiple images of Brittannia, Athena, and Poseidon.
With all the Atlantean Benchmark locations on this map, and it's "Modern Name" translation key, it is a MOST VALUABLE document.

Who owns this map? Where does it reside?
This colorful striding lion, its mouth opened in a threatening roar, once decorated a side of the 'Processional Way' in ancient Babylon (the Biblical city of Babel). The 'Processional Way' led out of the city through a massive gate named for the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war, Ishtar, whose symbol was the lion. Each year, during the celebration of the great New Year Festival, the images of the city's deities were carried out through the Ishtar Gate and along the 'Processional Way' past some 120 lions such as this one to a special festival house north of the city.
