This tunnel does not jibe with all the maps.
Lostness i imbibe with all the maps.

O tutelary vibe, with all the maps.

"For although the great cities in which learning developed, such as Baghdad, Basra, and Kufa, have been ruined, God Almighty has compensated this loss with other mightier cities. Thus learning shifted eastward to Khorasan, in Persia, and Transoxiana, then westwards to Cairo..." --Ibn Khaldun, An Arab Philosopher of History (tr Charles Issawi, 1950)
