- pimlottc 7y agoCan you explain further? I don’t see anything particular unusual about its flow from the Wikipedia article.
- cjhveal 7y agoYou've misquoted me. I was talking about a large body of water that had a river leaving it, looping around and draining back into it. That's a very peculiar behavior for a river. The Jordan river flows through the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea before proceeding on south. Nothing strange there. The situation I'm talking about would be like if a river left the Dead Sea from the south, looped around and immediately flowed back into the Dead Sea from the north.
- cobbzilla 7y agoThank you for the explanation, but I did not misquote you, I misunderstood you. I didn’t see the same random map you saw, so I asked a question and quoted you verbatim.
- cjhveal 7y agoDidn’t mean for it to come off as hostile— I meant that your misunderstanding may have come from misreading what I had written, as I don’t think I wrote about an “inland river.” But even as I wrote it, it’s not particularity clear unless you are already familiar with that kind of map making mistake, so happy to explain. Either way, hope this clears up any confusion!
