Finally - Amazonis. The name makes us think of the Amazon in Brazil, but originally it was the name of a female warrior society whose tales crop up all over the place in classical contexts. Amazons fought on the side of Troy in the Trojan war and are usually associated with northern Turkey.

OK, enough names. Now we will return to our sequence of Mars maps. #maps#Mars

Amazonis Planitia on Mars is named after the Amazons, a female warrior society who fought in the Trojan War, on the side of Troy. They are associated with a lot of places in the region but especially with northern Turkey. The modern use of the name in Brazil is not connected with the ancient stories except that Spanish soldiers claimed to have encountered female warriors in the area.

A 饝惔饝惗饝悷饝惗 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
