    Two Alexander Pillars and Three Gates between Black and Caspian Seas

    Funny that in the last week both Derbent and Astrakhan have come onto my radar. I am also trying to trace these WOW lines to these city's, there are a load in Georgia and lots of them to the north with both these locations in between. Another thing that piqued my interest is the land SW...

    Boyars and the Clothes of Giants

    For some reason the word Boyard came up for me, after a bit of digging(fort boyard) was named Banjaert(dutch) then french Boyard. Banjaert translates to banker. Very strange attire This link probably has little to do with this thread but a little to do with growth(no pun intended), this guy...

    Was previous Jerusalem located in England?

    I have been looking at the Old Sarum Cathedral over the last few day for something unrelated but noticed that it sound similar to Salem so did an intentionally mis spelt search just for fun. jeru sarum Interesting results.

    San Francisco: 1906 vs. 1907, 1908 and 1909

    I have often thought that a lot of these city devastating fires could be somehow linked to the rise or to even bolster the need for the fire service as it is one of the services that benefited the most from such disasters with the implementation of fire codes, building regs backed up by lengthy...

    Was previous Jerusalem located in England?

    Funny that this should feature here as it ties with a few other themes/memes. That is the Bedfordshire countryside, the place of the Bedford levels experiment, the end of which is home to this. 52°21'19.37"N 0° 2'36.85"E Way out of place here. I have always been suspicious of the Ely...

    How old is the Aral Sea?

    I also have about twenty forts in Uzbekistan that look like they have spent some time underwater. Khorezm fortresses: Uzbekistan's ancient desert castles

    How old is the Aral Sea?

    This fort is also 160m above sea level but yet built as the same time as the Shevchenko fort which is -25 below sea level, either one has come up or the other has gone down but there is no mention of such in the timescale given. The for also looks much older that 174 years due to the smoothness...

    Fortress of Mongatz aka Palanok Castle aka Mukachevo Castle. Who built it?

    I tend to go with how things sound or at least how I think they sound, Mongatz to me sounds like mongals, mongols. A search for both brings up a few hits but not in a language i am familiar with. Encyclopédie théologique

    1740: Batavia aka Jakarta, Indonesia

    I have looked for traces of this fort before and there is none, i have even gone in to google maps along the Cilliwung river to look for a wall in the hope of locating but there is nothing, very strange as there is usually at least an outline left from such structures. I would usually put a pin...

    How old is the Aral Sea?

    Only these, Novo-Alexandrovskiy Fort @ Starforts.com Mangystau Region However they kind of contradict each other. They say it fell into the sea but there seems very little debris and as you can see whatever it was has exposed what was underneath the fort, I would hazard a guess that this fort...

    How old is the Aral Sea?

    Quick overlay onto my map with the above image and almost all of the highlighted points have either a star fort, castle or kremlin. To the left you have numerous WOW lines and also above. One of my favourite forts is this one at Mangystau. 44°54'18.03"N 53°48'33.34"E The whole area is...

    Victory Columns were Airship Mooring Masts?

    One thing I have noticed is that most of the pics with these ships/blimps/dirigibles don't have their skies air brushed out, most historic pics without them have brushed skies, just an observation. The wind is a big problem but yet I feel that these are not faked so either the climate was...

    1783 Calabria Earthquake Phenomena. Was it a deliberate attack?

    It seems the port and fortifications of Messina were a very important military installation. Quite an interesting history however no mention of the quake. Real Cittadella Just out of curiosity I did an overlay on my star fort map with the Image above. So this quake hits. Real Cittadella...

    Artificial Deluge

    Well I had never heard of this guy but he has a funny history and ended up dying of the thing that his "stolen" cereals claimed to cure, divine comedy one could say. Apparently concussive rain making was a thing back in the day but this is the first time i have come across it. When the U.S...

    1892 Pioneer Building in Seattle: how and when was it built?

    And to round things off this one brings us back the the Yesler's Battle of Seattle (1856) Phelps remarks that the tailings from Henry Yesler's recently erected mill were steadily filling in the marshy land at the north of the head or peninsula where the settlement was located. He described the...

    1906: Seattle Central Library. Demolished in 1957.

    Indeed. One explanation is the use of mafia(for want of a better word) type construction firms to keep it off the record, more so when government money taps can be endlessly drained.
