Are you also behind the Fandom page which has stories about them like I think it said the Roman Empire went to one of those continents. It is interesting, the names and shapes of these continents, oceans, seas, islands. If Flat Earth was an onion, it seems each layer has it's own sun which would probably make a day longer in the exterior lands assuming those suns are not moving faster. What is Formosa Ultima and were you guys behind this map?

---

Formosa Ultima is a continent on a flat earth map. When I hear vortex it reminds me of Outlander which had these menhir stones where time travel occured. Perhaps the thinking is there are holes in certain places in time and space depending on the thickness/thinness of the first four main dimensions of our reality.

What is the Tartarian Empire? Why was Asia called Tartaria? Was this empire real (erased from history) or just a fictional conspiracy theory?

Why not travel by water roads, AKA canals/rivers/waterways, as opposed to roads which have to be repaired along with the tires? If you let the sewer ride the streams, then it's a two-in-one deal/package.

The Columbia District of Washington (DC) is in the Catholic Virgin (Virginia) Mary (Maryland). Who was behind the construction of the White House, was it James Hoban, was it Tartaria? Conspiracy theorists might suggest the Tartarian Empire built many buildings around the world. To debunk this, we would have to try to confirm who built the buildings, when, where, etc.

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨θ⟩, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is T. The IPA symbol is the Greek letter theta, which is used for this sound in post-classical Greek, and the sound is thus often referred to as "theta".
