Hello everybody,
I would like to share with everyone a theory I have put together with a site in africa which I believe holds significance to sumarian civilization and possibly to civilizations prior.
It starts in mali at 22°41'30"N 3°49'29"W (a link to imagery will be added at the end) 2 triangles overlaying one another forms a diamond with 4 triangles, 1 attached to each side of the diamond it 5.6 miles in length north to south and 2.2 miles wide east west at the diamond.
This shape is similar in my opinion to the central engraving on the stone found in blombos cave.
Location is the next point of interest this 6 pointed star is located north of the western bend of the niger river similar to that depicted on the sumarian cylindrical seal showing enki sitting with a star above the western bend of the river.
Looking closer at another seal, the adda sea There are two things I think are interesting. 1 the rivers flowing to enki appear in a boomerang shape that is similar to the niger river and 2 enki is standing on a mountain that the river originates in the west and flows out to sea in the east, comparable to the niger river that originates in the guinea highlands in the west and flows out to the Atlantic in the east.
This leads me to a different perspective on cylindrical seal VA243 (the solar system seal) could this be not a depiction of the stars or solar system but a map of prior cities and townships? Maybe.
I have a couple last curiosities and issues I would like to add.
1
The stars can vary on the cylindrical seals with both 6 and 8 points present
2
The orientation of the stars generally depicted are off centre by a few degrees. I'm not sure why but it is something we do today on charts to show our magnetic compass rose in comparison to true north.
Below is an image that should hopefully put everything into acomparitive view
