Anthropomorphic (body-part) maps were generated by configuring the virtual body of a god or goddess over the area to be mapped. Areas under each part of that body received the name of that part. These maps equate geography with anatomy to produce place names that indicate where they are located relative to other places on the same map. Reversal of a name occurs if the same name already exists on another known map or if the name for that part is taboo.
Examples of these maps include Hermes (centered at Mt. Hermon) and Aphrodite (in north Africa, centered at Nubia < Skt nabhila). kHermes (XoR + MoSnaim = navel; compare Ahura Mazda and Strait of Hormuz) "moved" to Mt. Olympus (Gk omphalos = navel). On these maps, the navel is the center of the body, the center of the map, and the political center of the people who made the map.
Most toponyms on the Hermes and Aphrodite maps are Phoenician. Some were loan-translated into Greek.
The Hermes map includes Rus (RoSH) => Ukraine (Gk kranion), Georgia (GaRGeret), Caspian (KaSeF), Armenia (resh-mem-heh, Skt irma), Anatolia (NaTiLat yad), Pontus (Gk pontiki), Cappadocia (KiFooF yaD), Phrygia (mFaReK yad), Kurd-istan (Gk cardia), Syria (TZuR waist), Lebanon (reverse of Skt nabhila), Philistia (phallus), Negev (her NeKeV), Cana3an (her Latin cunnus) => Israel (his 'oSHeR to G-d), Iraq (YeReX), Kuwait (reverse of shin-vav-kuf), Nafud (reverse of DoFeN), Bahrain (BeReKH), Yemen (right foot).
The Aphrodite map includes Morocco (reverse of cranium), Atlas mts (first cervical vertebra), Pun (face destroyed during 3rd Punic war), Sahara (Sa3aR), Tunis (reverse of SaNTir), Libya (LeV), Chad (SHaD), Gulf of Sidra (SHiDRa), Misr/MiTZRaim (MoSNaim), Goshen (QTN = bean-shaped kidney; compare Latin Gossypium = gossamer cotton exported from Goshen), Egypt (Gk hepato-; compare Gupta, source of the Gypsies, in north India near Nepal, another navel), Sudan (TZaD), Somalia (left leg), Eritrea (Gk urethra), Red Sea (Latin Mare Rubrum due to menstruation) = yam SooF (reverse of PoS), Bab-el-Mandeb (gateway-to-yaM NiDah), Sinai (with a missing aleph = "snatch", reverse of KNiSah to her body), desert of tZin (his Zayin). In other words, these two bodies are literally connected at Sinai.
