I do what I can.

I suppose the next thing to do would be to harvest the biggest hi-rez plan view of the proposed design and double-check the author's derivation of angle, giving my own tolerance for angular accuracy.

Take a look first here at the Original graphic which the author used thus: "the biggest overhead view of the memorial I could find with north oriented up. I measured the distance from tip-to-tip of the crescent and came up with 64px east-west and 90px north-south."

Now zoom into the original pic and see if you can tell from the drawing where the red maple trees are supposed to end. I can't, much less use the drawing to figure a east/west, north/south coordinate.

Just a bit off and it points to Sudan or Iran depending or even further offline from Saudi.

I'm too tired to continue with this, but it's looking to me like the whole direction thing starts with wishful thinking about a blurry drawing of an unfinished monument in an approximation…
