I would suggest to wait until Saturday 12:00 UTC. If there is still no new WOGE, I would suggest that you are going to publish a new one 117a.

(Though whether bricks, adobe, or pisé, I don't know.) The flat roofed modern structures suggest the Middle East, but that's not certain either. Geoff's hints, and Felix's parsing of them suggest eastern Asia, probably Tibet or Mongolia. But, again, I can't be sure.

Location is to 100% north of 23°S and likely north of the equator.<br />* So Peru is not very likely, also in Peru there are Alpacas<br />* As there are no camels and no lions it is not Egypt and not the middle East.<br />* the pattern of the fields looks very much like Mexiko, but it isn't. Mexico is the only place I looked and I didn't find it. With a little scale like this I do not give a guarantee.<br />* So Geoff said: "like llamas". LLamas belong to the family Camelidae. We can rule out LLamas, Alpacas<br /> We can rule out "Vicuna" as they live in Argentina, and that's too south.<br /> We can rule out "Guanaco", too southern<br /> Then we do have the "Dromedary" with goes eastern up to Pakistan/Usbekistan which is close to China.<br /> And last but not least we have the "Bactrian Camel" living in northern China and<br /> southern Mongolia. (What am I glad, I studied 2 semesters Biology).<br /><br />So my newest guess would be a bow from Pakistan/Usbekistan (the soil fits) maybe Mongolia.Felix Bosserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964674651331212440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357316514436369105.post-55189226191113942952011-01-21T19:52:44.591+00:002011-01-21T19:52:44.591+00:00Controversial, but Eloy is a lot warmer that the r...Controversial, but Eloy is a lot warmer that the rest of you . . . .Geoff Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111820035762957610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357316514436369105.post-1701584803193879332011-01-21T19:31:17.614+00:002011-01-21T19:31:17.614+00:00I don't think so, Felix...
