ANTHROPOMORPHIC MAPS These maps were formed by configuring the virtual body of a god or goddess over the area to be mapped. The name of each part of that body became the name of the area/feature under that part. This technique produced a scale 1:1 map-without-paper with place names that automatically indicated their approximate location relative to all other places that were named in the same manner. APHRODITE The body-part map of Aphrodite is in north Africa. Her face [PaNim] was lost during the 3rd Punic war. The rest of her is still there. She is looking backwards over her right shoulder, so her CRaniuM is reversed at Morocco. It still has a Fez. Her chin [SaNTir] is also reversed at Tunisia. The Atlas mountains [atlas: 3. first cervical vertebra] support her head. Her hair [Sa3aRa] is the Sahara desert. Her backbone [SHiDRa] is the Gulf of Sidra. Her heart [LeV] is Libya. Her breast [SHaD] is Chad. Her narrow [TZaR] waist is Misr / Mitzraim. Her side [TZaD] is Sudan. Her left [SMoL] leg is Somalia. Representing the letter aiyin as 3 with an ancient velar G/K-sound, CaNa3aN was her Latin cunnus (and a reversal of Greek gyneco-). Its name changed to YiSRa@eL at the time Ya3aKoV / Jacob "fought with god and men" [Gen 32:29]. This represented a change in sovereignty from Africa to Asia minor. YiSRa@eL is that body part that gives @oSHeR = delight to god when it is YaSHaR = straight, upright. HERMES The body-part map of Hermes is in Asia minor. kHermes [kHoR = hole + MoSnaim = waist] lived at Mt. kHermon before he moved Mt. Olympus [Greek omphalos = navel]. Later his name was reversed to become Latin Mercury. His head [RoSH] was at Rus, south of Belarus. Its name changed to the Ukraine [Gk kranion = cranium]. His throat [GaRGeret] is Georgia. His left shoulder [KaSaF] is the Caspian sea. His right arm/hand is being washed [NaTiLat] at Anatolia. His upper arm [Sanskrit irma] at Armenia, biceps [Greek pontiki = muscle] at Pontus, elbow [KiFooF yaD] at Cappadocia, wrist [m'FaReK] at Phrygia, and thumb [BoHeN] at Bithynia were in Anatolia. His heart [Greek cardia] became Kurdistan. His narrow [TZaR] waist is Syria and his navel [Sanskrit nabhila] reverses to LeBaNon. South of Lebanon is the male member [Greek phallus] named Philistina/Palestine. See CaNa3aN / YiSRa@eL above. His buttocks [YeReKH] is Iraq. The letter shin in his thigh [shin-vav-kuf] had a dental T-sound so the reversal of TVK sounded like KVT or Kuwait. His knee [BeReKH] is partially reversed in Bahrain. His right [Y'MiN] foot is at Yemen. For more information about this type of anthropomorphic map, join the BPMaps discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BPMaps/ The maps of Hermes & Aphrodite and similar maps of the creator of the Blackfoot indians (The Old Man) and his wife (The Old Woman) are described in the databases at the BPMaps website.

Aphrodite as an Anthropomorphic Map The goddess we call Aphrodite Is not just an Egyptian city. The Phoenicians did make Her a map. It's not fake. Her body is cartograffiti. The Punic war destroyed her face, The Romans left nary a trace. But her hair is still there, In Sahara, that's where. And her chin's a Tunisian place. Mt. Atlas is her first verTebra. Her breast is in Chad wearing no bra. Her heart is in Libya, Her left leg, Somalia. Eritrea? From Greek for urethra. The Greeks called her liver Egypt, an' Her kidney was Biblical Goshen. She's bent at her waist, Now Misr-ably placed. The Red Sea was her menstruation. As a kid I did think the Red Sea Was an English map typo: lost E, From Reed Sea in Hebrew. But that could not be true, Mare Rubrum 'twas Latin, B.C. Aphrodite with Hermes did sin, We know this is true 'cause within Her "snatch" we call Sinai His "zaiyin" does still lie. It's known as the desert of Zin. Israel "izzy" Cohen BPMaps moderator http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BPMaps/
