aegean

The oldest European map, of Greek origin, unsurprisingly has the Aegean at the center, and North pointing up.

The Aegean sea used to extend into a large gulf into Western Anatolia around the time of Homer's Troy.

If you are like me and you're monitoring new activity in the Aegean Sea that topo layer is completely broken.

A co-operative system born from the hilly Greek peninsular and jagged Aegean coastlines meeting the hierarchical system of the Romans co-existing.

Geoblocking seems to be on the rise too (eg Trenitalia, Aegean Air).

Heck, India has already begun defending Greece [4] and Cyprus [5] against Turkish aggression in the Aegean and investing in European infrastructure development [6].

In any event, I did check my books, and neither Aegean numerals nor the somewhat related Linear B needed to rotate.

For one, the Philistines were Aegean and the Phoenicians were Semitic.

The Aegean and Sicily were full of greeks and we would've heard if the phoenicians were trying to build an empire there.

This allows a rolling replace/upgrade cycle that allows the old cruft to continue running while limiting the scope of efforts to something less than the Aegean Stables.

Euripedi's 'Trojan Women' play, was essentially a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year!

There’s Aegean numbers, counting rod numerals, Mayan numerals, Roman numerals (beyond the Latin letter aliases), cuneiform numbers, and plenty of other historical numeral-only systems.

Well yes, I'm sure they're militarily capable of doing it, but it's still enough of a headache that it seems to push the risk/reward ratio of this Aegean Manhattan firmly into the "not worth the effort" category.

One of the questions was "Do Aegean numerals and Linear B symbols need to rotate?" My response was "I'm uncertain off hand, but let me check my linear B book at home." Never thought I'd say something like that at a SW company.
