Strange question I know. But bear with me. On the Prometheus "Star Map' app on Facebook, each week we are shown a pictogram and a location on Earth. (The pictogram and the location don't match. That's OK. I don't think they are suppose to.) What I want to know is where does the map in week-2 point to? The others are obvious. This one is not. Thanks.

iapetus: This may be asking for much, but could you take a Google Earth screen-shot and post it? I'm trying everyting I can, but I can't frickin' see it! (Or I just can't figure out how to do it properly.) Thanks,

iapetus is spot on! This was already discussed when the pictogram was published.

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

yeah, theSNARK, I think it's def asking for much, but I'm turning into someone nice these days so here you go! [img]http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1159/starmapmap.png[/img] (right click/open image in a new tab for full size enjoyment... at least some ladies believed that) Hope this makes it all clearer -T. Edit: oh snap! NoXWord was quicker than I was. He's the man, sorry for the doubloon... PS: it's DEFINETELY a star map, and not an invitation! Stop stalking me!!

@Ripleys-Knickers oh dude, come on... At least make an effort on your own arguments before calling others 'know-it-all' or 'ridicule'. Haven't you had a look at the screenshots/explanations NoXWord and I gave? The earth globe's projection in NoXWord's post is [u]spot on[/u] the exact same projection shown on the game's image. How would you have the nerves to deny that in such way while pretending one could see Egypt there? If I read you right, your only argument is based on the date. My own job makes me pretty confident the plates and coast-lines weren't changed much over the last 2500 years and Egypt wasn't the only emerged land back then, so it leaves a broad range of other geographical possibilities IMO. ...the one bringing consensual acceptance being Aral Sea/Baikonur, it seems. Come with well supported arguments and a nice way to provide them and you'll prob. find a friendlier reception. PS: I really like the nickname btw, and most def have wanted to sniff you since we first met when I was a child... ;)
