Strabo
Strabo (/ˈstreɪboʊ/; Greek: Στράβων Strabōn; 64/63 BC – c. AD 24), was a Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian.
Life
Strabo was born to an affluent family from Amaseia in Pontus (modern Amasya, Turkey), a city that he said was situated the approximate equivalent of 75 km from the Black Sea. Pontus had recently fallen to the Roman Republic, and although politically he was a proponent of Roman imperialism, Strabo belonged on his mother's side to a prominent family whose members had held important positions under the resisting regime of King Mithridates VI of Pontus.
Strabo's life was characterized by extensive travels. He journeyed to Egypt and Kush, as far west as coastal Tuscany and as far south as Ethiopia in addition to his travels in Asia Minor and time spent in Rome. Travel throughout the Mediterranean and Near East, especially for scholarly purposes, was popular during this era and was facilitated by the relative peace enjoyed throughout the reign of Augustus (27 BC – AD 14). He moved to Rome in 44 BC, and stayed there, studying and writing, until at least 31 BC. In 29 BC, on his way to Corinth (where Augustus was at the time), he visited the island of Gyaros in the Aegean Sea. Around 25 BC, he sailed up the Nile until reaching Philae, after which point there is little record of his proceedings until AD 17.

Strabo (crater)
Strabo is a lunar crater that is located near the northeastern rim of the Moon. At this angle the crater appears oval in shape due to foreshortening. It is attached to the north rim of the walled plain De La Rue. To the west is the smaller crater Thales. To the north is a chain of three comparably sized craters designated Strabo L, Strabo B, and Strabo N.
The inner rim of Strabo is terraced, with a small crater lying across the eastern wall. The interior has been flooded in the past by lava, and is now relatively flat.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Strabo.

The Mastermind Behind Ancient Geography: |Unveiling Strabo|
In the vast tapestry of history, certain individuals stand as towering figures whose contributions reverberate across the ages. Among them is Strabo, a luminary of antiquity whose seminal work, "Geographica," reshaped our understanding of the ancient world. Born in the crucible of Hellenistic culture, Strabo's journey from the bustling streets of Amaseia to the halls of Rome and Alexandria forged a path of intellectual inquiry and discovery. In this exploration, we embark on a journey to unravel the legacy of Strabo, delving deep into his life, travels, and magnum opus, to uncover the profound insights he bestowed upon humanity.

Strabo’s Well | The Secret of the Osireion Trailer
Behind the temple of Seti I in Abydos, Egypt is the Osireion, a mysterious subterranean ruin with a seemingly limitless supply of water. From the time of its discovery in 1902, it was clear this was the underground structure described by the ancient Greek historian Strabo. Strabo visited Abydos around 27 BC and descended into the Osireion. Prior to its unearthing in 1902 it had been commonly referred to as Strabo’s Well, the most unusual feature recorded by Strabo being the presence of a large artificial pool of water within the subterranean structure itself. The Osireion appears to be a cenotaph for the pharaoh Seti I, a symbolic tomb never intended to contain a burial.

STRABO, ROMAN SCHOLARS | GEOGRAPHICAL THOUGHT, geo L 17
Strabo was born south of Black Sea in a Turkish town of Amesia, capital of the Barbarian kings, and supporting a large Greek population. Strabo’s main contribution was his attempt to bring together all the existing geographical knowledge in the form of a general thesis. "There is an intimate relationship between history and geography." " Geography is an independent subject, which aims to get people to gain knowledge of world celestial bodies, sites, oceans, fauna, flora, fruits, and every other thing seen in the terrains." Quoted by - STRABO Strabo is best known for his work Geographica ("Geography"), consisting of 17 'books', written in Greek, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known during his lifetime.

Behind the temple of Seti I in Abydos, Egypt is the Osireion, a mysterious subterranean ruin with a seemingly limitless supply of water. From the time of its discovery in 1902, it was clear this was the underground structure described by the ancient Greek historian Strabo.
Strabo visited Abydos around 27 BC and descended into the Osireion. Prior to its unearthing in 1902 it had been commonly referred to as Strabo’s Well, the most unusual feature recorded by Strabo being the presence of a large artificial pool of water within the subterranean structure itself.
The Osireion appears to be a cenotaph for the pharaoh Seti I, a symbolic tomb never intended to contain a burial. Because of its connection to the god Osiris, the mythical king the ancient Egyptians believed had been buried at Abydos, it became known as the Osireion.
Almost all Egyptologists believe the Osireion was constructed at or around the same time as Seti’s temple—somewhere between 1290 BC and a few years after 1279 BC, 1279 BC being the year of Seti I’s death. Not everyone agrees with this conclusion, and a sizable number of observers with a range of interests in the subject have speculated that it is much older.
One of the most challenging aspects of the Osireion’s excavation was the fact that it was still supplied with a constant, unfailing supply of water. The deeper the diggers went below the surface, the more water they encountered. By 1927, with the help of a sixteen-horsepower pump, all parts of the Osireion not intended by its designers to be filled with water were eventually excavated.
The physical evidence uncovered seems to support the view that the Osireion was constructed around the same time as Seti’s temple. The source of its inexhaustible supply of water, however, defies explanation. Highly practical engineers who have investigated the subject concede it is a genuine mystery.
Strabo’s Well: The Secret of the Osireion will explore, and, if possible, answer this question.

Strabo was born south of Black Sea in a Turkish town of Amesia, capital of the Barbarian kings, and supporting a large Greek population. Strabo’s main contribution was his attempt to bring together all the existing geographical knowledge in the form of a general thesis.
"There is an intimate relationship between history and geography."
" Geography is an independent subject, which aims to get people to gain knowledge of world celestial bodies, sites, oceans, fauna, flora, fruits, and every other thing seen in the terrains."
Quoted by - STRABO
Strabo is best known for his work Geographica ("Geography"), consisting of 17 'books', written in Greek, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known during his lifetime.
Strabo was a Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian who lived in Asia Minor during the transitional period of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.

Here we have the Greek and likely Roman Citizen Strabo describing the edge of the world as Rome knew it in the first century, the windswept island of Ierne - and even further than that, the legendary island of Thule. Surrounded by a 'sea-lung', an impenetrable mix of solid and liquid, Thule and "Ultima Thule" later became synonymous with the furthest point north on the map.

⭐️ Strabo
Did you know, the famous traveler, geographer and historian of the ancient world, Strabo was born in Amasya in 64 BC?
Amasya was the first capital of the Pontus State. Pontus is a state that has nothing to do with Greeks and its flag had a star and crescent.
Strabo's work, Geographica, is the only work that has survived to the present day, covering all the known peoples and countries of its time.

Strabo
Strabo (/ˈstreɪboʊ/; Greek: Στράβων Strabōn; 64/63 BC – c. AD 24), was a Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian.
Life
Strabo was born to an affluent family from Amaseia in Pontus (modern Amasya, Turkey), a city that he said was situated the approximate equivalent of 75 km from the Black Sea. Pontus had recently fallen to the Roman Republic, and although politically he was a proponent of Roman imperialism, Strabo belonged on his mother's side to a prominent family whose members had held important positions under the resisting regime of King Mithridates VI of Pontus.
Strabo's life was characterized by extensive travels. He journeyed to Egypt and Kush, as far west as coastal Tuscany and as far south as Ethiopia in addition to his travels in Asia Minor and time spent in Rome. Travel throughout the Mediterranean and Near East, especially for scholarly purposes, was popular during this era and was facilitated by the relative peace enjoyed throughout the reign of Augustus (27 BC – AD 14). He moved to Rome in 44 BC, and stayed there, studying and writing, until at least 31 BC. In 29 BC, on his way to Corinth (where Augustus was at the time), he visited the island of Gyaros in the Aegean Sea. Around 25 BC, he sailed up the Nile until reaching Philae, after which point there is little record of his proceedings until AD 17.

Prohibition
by: ZoetropeIn an abandoned warehouse late at night in the shipping yards
The gangsters keep a watchful eye for the man in blue
As a loaded semi pulls up to an empty dock
The rear door opens to reveal the demon alcohol
CHORUS:
Restriction drinking's against the law
Prohibition the demon alcohol
A heavy profit's to be turned on this mountain dew
But if you're caught you might get killed or thrown in jail
But what's the fuss it's soon to be legal anyway
So you may as well go with the flow of things to come
CHORUS
What you see is what you get on a one shot deal
So make it now and worry later about the end result
When the loaded semi pulls up to the empty dock
You'll get another week's supply of alcohol
