There came out on the writing as Shem’s lot the middle of the earth that he should take as an inheritance for himself and for his sons for the generations of eternity... He knew that the Garden of Eden is the purest place, and the dwelling of Yah, and Mount Sinai the center of the desert, and Mount Zion which is the center of the navel of the earth, these three were created as pure places facing each other.

In ancient texts, such as the Second Book of Ezra it states that God chose the lily as his Own personal flower, and that flower represents Zion.

• 2 Esdras 5:24-25 "And of all lands of the whole world You have chosen for Yourself one region: and of all the flowers of the world You have chosen for Yourself one lily: And from all the depths of the sea You have filled for Yourself one river: and of all built cities You have set it apart and made Zion apart to Yourself." |The Book of Ezra|

• Hosea 14:4-5 "I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon."

• Songs 2:2-3 "Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters."

​

Due to its beauty and rarity, the lily was already an important symbol in ancient Egypt and Greece. Its official use dates back to the early Middle Ages, with its association with Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, whose three petals represent the Holy Trinity, thus becoming a major religious emblem. The lily symbolizes purity, as well as the strength and power that reside in a mother's eternal love for her child. Later, it became an emblem of monarchical and heraldic legitimacy.

Fleur-De-Lys at the Centre

However, in virtually all maps prior to the 16th century, we can see the fleur-de-lis in the Centre of Africa. Furthermore, When we consult ancient maps dating from the 14th to 16th centuries, we find a multitude of maps inscribed on parchment, with wind roses and crossed rhumb lines. These wind roses were the basic elements used for navigation. Yet they all feature a very large compass rose at the center of Africa, indicating that this is not only the center of the Earth, but also the throne of a high priest. See the video below.

Interestingly, in Tabula X of his African maps in books 10 and 12, Livio Sanuto, the famous geographer to the king of the time, described the habits and customs of Africa and listed the names of all the populations of Ethiopia and Lower Ethiopia, referring to their territory as “Judaeorum Terra” in Latin, meaning “the Land of the Jews”. The map was published posthumously by his brother Giulio in 1588.
