Can someone show how
this significantly resembles the coast of Peru?

Have a look at your email.

Any reason not to share with the class?

None whatsoever. I will send you a copy.

Hating to be a pest, but where is Japan on the main map we are

How does the 'Java Magna', as Thompson has it, get turned into some
place in South America? On its face, it seems to me to be more
reasonably explained as part of Southeast Asia.

how about a scale bar, north arrow, etc, all those things associated with
