But if it were real, who'd get that country on the left with the big river and all the ancient monuments (and the difficult border issues with Israel/the Gaza Strip)?

Details, details, details.

Just because the area labelled as "Egypt" is actualy Iraq. Besides, Egypt is clearly "Utah" in the followup map.

Is it a coincidence that the intersection of Libya, Egypt and Sudan looks like the intersection of Nevada, Utah and Arizona? I don't think so. I suspect Barack Hussein Obama had something to do with this.
