Ok, I think we are on the same page after all. It's just "map" and "buildings" implies literal. Maybe I just use another term in "story" but a "imaginary/mythical/symbolic" map/place is pretty much what I was getting at. I think we have a theme throughout the map which tells a "story", for lack of a better term. But a drawing of a mythical place would do the same sort of thing.
In regards to the theory, I never put it out there as I feel like I debunked myself. I just meant that the thing I debunked had more legs than "literal map" but I think we just crossed terms. The theory, if you were interested, was on the cave of the patriarchs which houses the tombs of 6 biblical figures. You can match some details well and I should imagine it would be a site of holy pilgrimage with enough details for a "map" and 6 things being connected to the heavens would fit. Overall though I thought I was probably stretching and over fitting.. a lot.
Personally I'm on team "vessel" by "(if it looks like a) duck law" but I think a convincing argument for building needs to find that connection, why 6 things surrounding/supporting the sky fits.. because they don't look like buildings.
