42 degrees north latitude and a little off a direct south north line - to the west somewhat, so it would be maybe 80 or so miles from White Plains. From New Rochelle, NY, it's about 100 miles. Kingston was my father's home town, and New Rochelle mine.
So, why could not our maps have been made upside down, were more of civilization to have lived in the southern hemisphere? What is now the South Pole might be called the North Pole, what is now the North Pole called the South Pole. Argentina might be as Canada, Chile as Alaska, Bolivia the United States etc. The world would have an entirely new look to it this way - probably very strange, since we never have looked at it that way. Yet from space - once again - it makes no difference! We could be living today in a world upside down, but the way we have it on maps today, would seem upside down. Do you understand?
Also, from space, we could easily see the world with west at the top and east at the bottom, which would be an accurate rendering of the planet Uranus, as we define that planet. The Earth's equator, in this case, would appear vertical, the planet spinning from the bottom up. Uranus does this, but I'm not sure if it is from the bottom up or from the top down; again, I am not an expert, no Einstein! It is the only planet in our solar system - named the "lopsided planet". But why would we not consider all the rest of the planets lopsided; ask a Uranuran that! A civilization there would consider their planet the standard for correctness - Earth the "lopsided planet", as well as most the others - all of them!
So, maybe we're not real, as we tend to define ourselves - whether it be our bodies or what we are inside, and if we are, just what is that! I don't think any of us know the truth. God does or so we accept, even this! We've got to believe in something beyond ourselves, since it is obvious we're more or less lost! We believe we're real, by what we see, hear, taste, feel smell, but is all that what makes us real? Maybe we're a delusion, or illusion, we being actually someone or something else that stands outside and feeds it all. "FORBIDDEN PLANET" was a movie somewhat about this. Good movie! Maybe an awareness of this might actually one day be how we can cure various ailments we have, if we can somehow realize they too are not real. Deny them! This is far into the future, of course. We're nowhere near, in my opinion, of harnessing what's within us as much as we may believe otherwise - technology advancement,
