Notes from the Book of Enoch

From this book of Enoch:
Some angels looked down on the beautiful daughters of man and said they would go down and marry them.
- This seems odd.
Their leader, Samyaza, says, you are not to do this, and I will get blamed.  They reject that and swear on the top of Mt. Aromon that they will not be dissuaded from their plan.  Thus the mountain is called, Armon or Hermon, from the Hebrew word herem, a curse.

From Wikipedia:

4 Corners Monument might not really be on the 4 corners intersection!

This map is from Google Earth.  It shows the state boundaries intersecting in the canyon, north-west of the Monument.

 This map is from Google Maps.  They show the state border jogging over just before the intersection!

This map is from MapQuest.  It draws the lines right on top of the monument.

This map is from Yahoo.  Right on top.  (Yahoo had a very slow web site.)

This one is from Bing, right on top.

This is from Google maps, this shows the bent borderline more.  I wonder where the true boundary lies.


Here is an interesting article about the boundaries:

Four Corners Monument: Miles Off?

And another stating there is no problem.

Why the Four Corners Monument is in Exactly the Right Place

 "instead of a 2.5-mile discrepancy, as reported in the initial news items, this offset is in fact only about 1800 feet, or less.  A basic tenet of boundary surveying is that once a monument has been established ..., the location of the physical monument is the ultimate authority in delineating a boundary.  In surveying, monuments rule!"

My Cousin is in Alexandria, Egypt

 Marika, my cousin, posted photos from Alexandria.  Caleb and Mary Cleia were wondering if she was near the red sea because they can identify that on the map because of our reading of Around the World in 80 Days.   It doesn't look like she is very near the red sea.

Alexandria Location in Egypt

 I told Caleb and Mary Cleia that they spoke Egyptian there, but I learned from the Wikipedia that they speak Arabic.
