Mesopotamia, perhaps the Ur-Deseret (land of the Honeybee, place from which the Jaredites fled in great Mormon stories). The map here is written in English, yet another language circulating in this part of the world before the First World War. Soon after came the sad campaigns against the Turks; dying Irish and Sihks accidentally abandoned in the burning desert by the fleeing troops. Mesopotamia, land of clay writing, false roadside entrances to various Gardens (none of them in their original places).     To forestall possible ruin, Hive-Maker hoped to purchase an experimental stock of specialty bees from Mesopotamia.
