#   LOW-LEVEL INTERPRETATION
#
#   I.e. what objects was the artist trying to draw? 
#
#   The hatched areas outside the rosettes could be sea waves, rocky terrain,
#   flesh, clouds, cave walls, and many other things.  However the details
#   of the NE to N road sugegst they are cliffs rising from the sea.
#
#   The object inside NE rosette could be a cutaway view of a hollow
#   shell, with a layer of "scales" on the outside, and
#   inward-pointing flames or spines on the inside. The label seems to
#   be applied the shell itself.
#
#   The opening could also be a mouth with teeth; but the shape,
#   curvature, and slant or the "teeth" are not correct. It could also
#   be eye with eyelashes; but the same objection applies, and there
#   is no hint of iris and pupil.
#
#   The tower-like structure on the N to NE road could be a fountain.
#   There are faint markings South of it that could be a puddle of water,
#   or a standing person (with one arm on the "fountain"), or...
#
#   The two roads connecting the N rosette to the plaza West of it
#   could be either bridges or, two lanes separated by a flower bed.
#
#   The knobs at the corners of the SW-W road could be towers seen
#   from dead above (the apparent perspective for this part of the
#   drawing), dropping straight down to the sea level. But they could
#   also be landing pads at sea level...
#
#   The grooved areas North of the wall on the SW-S isthmus could 
#   represent plowed and planted fields, or vineyards.
#
#   HIGH-LEVEL INTERPRETATION
#
#   I.e. what is the purpose of this picture?
#
#   The sun in the NE corner suggests a cosmological interpretation.
#   On the other hand, the tubes suggest anatomy, or (less likely)
#   plumbing, while the roads and tower suggest a map.
#
#   The whole diagram may be a graphic equivalent of the description
#   of the cosmos given in 1 Enoch and other ancient texts, where
#   natural phenomena like planetary motions, rivers, winds, rains,
#   springs, etc. are said to be produced in some "cosmic factory".
#
#   Alternatively, it could be a "biological factory" explanation of
#   human physiology.
#
#   Perhaps this diagram is an attempt to draw the mysterious device
#   described in the Cabal, or the apocalyptic vision of Ezra, or 
#   Heron's hydraulic gadgets, or...
#
#   Just to cover all the bases: it could be a report from a time
#   traveler or UFO abductee: the NW rosette is a fusion reactor, the
#   pipes leaving it carry steam for heating, the N/S/W/E rosettes are
#   steam turbines, the bulb-headed towers in the center are
#   rockets... 8-)
#
#   Another possibility is that it is a "fantasy island", like many
#   kids like do draw (and grown-ups too---consider Tolkien's maps of
#   Middle Earth)
