But I’ll bet he’s not the first to see it...or find that city. Some things you keep to yourself.

Cities are laid out topographically...strategically along travel routes. But you have to work with what you have. You need food, shelter and clothing.....and water, water, water....

See my post #19. The young lad was working from a certain hypothesis.

The only thing soebarkah has taught me is that he is an enemy islamist pig-dog.

They were using the Hubble. It was called “The Rubble” back in those days...

The story doesn’t explain everything. Was it the place where the star passed over at midnight? On a certain day of the year? That changes with time, though. Need the New York Times for this kind of stuff, about the only thing they’re good for.

Wasn’t it the last, great Rodney Dangerfield who once said “The definition of trust is two cannibals having oral sex”.

Wow. Kid had a genuine "Aha!" moment.
I'm a little surprised than an expedition is not already being planned. If the place is THAT remote, it makes you wonder about who might (still) be living there.

Also, over time the stars have changed position, even relative to each other. Polaris was not the North Star 2000+ years ago. I’ll have to check it to see if it makes a difference.
To: onedoug
An abominable thing. I don't know if that is universally true. For example, suppose you are in the Donner party. Your fellow members die of cold. You are starving.
I think I'm OK with that. "They" are long gone. Only the body remains. Life or death.

SO you would compare what these savages did with that?
Though God help me that I wouldn’t do it.
