The revised
decipherment images in the preceding postings and in the subsequent explanatory text posting supercede our decipherment of the
Miami Circle made ca. 10 years ago, in which we correctly also concluded
that the Miami Circle was a sky map of the stars.
We at that time understandably -- but erroneously, as we ourselves have discovered -- assumed that the star map reflected the Miami location at 25°46'10.05"N 80°11'20.12"W, but that turns out not to be so.
Rather, as easily shown astronomically via the images below
--which we have made using the stellar (superb) astronomy software program
Starry Night Pro, http://astronomy.starrynight.com/ --
the stars on the Miami Circle are those of the general geographic location of Nazca (Nasca),
where we pinpoint the general location using Nazca Lines at 14°48'59.34"S 74°59'35.27"W. Why Nazca? We will explain that in the next posting.
If you use Google Earth that will show you the correct Nazca Lines location, but if you use Google Maps it will take you only to the Carretera Panamericana Sur, the Pan-American Highway just before the Peaje Nasca toll fee booth.
Note that we prefer and use the Nazca spelling because Nasca for us is too close to NASCAR and its massive following and we have already seen cases of confusion via the latter spelling and pronunciation "nascah", like in "cah" car.
The correspondence of our 2015 Miami Circle sky map decipherment to the above map is ... nearly perfect, and, of course, we made the decipherment before finding the map. Why Nazca? Why 1131 B.C.?
Coming up in the next posting.

The Sky Map on the Brickell Point Miami Circle Shows a Sky Not Visible at that Location but Visible at Nazca (Nasca)
