The argument hinges on the fact that South America doesn't have any areas with mountains to the northeast and rivers running southwest. This is untrue. When most people think of South America, they think of Brazil, but the stone twon of Apu-Punchau makes it fairly clear that we're dealing with Inca territory -- probably Chile and Argentina. This makes Nessus out to be Buenos Aires, which fits in nicely with the Ulthan/Borges comparison -- Borges was chief librarian of some library or another in BA. ``` David Paul janus at ioa.com ------------------------------------ The pure at heart may sleep better, but sinners enjoy their waking hours much more. ``` ---
