PropertyValue
Is Pleiades ID (wdt:P1584) ofSharm Yanbu? 15 km NW of Yanbu. This hypothetical area is close to Diodorus' description: > the total circumference is 23 km (close to his 100 stades); > the central island might be now connected to the mainland on the NE side where siltation occurred over time, near the outlet of the wadi ; > the total area might have been between 2000 and 3000 ha (ample space for his 2000 ships) ; > the entrance is 300 m wide (more than his 200 feet = 60 m) but this depends much on coral growth which may have varied in time and with urbanisation.
