Dear All,
I misread Alexander von Humboldt's coordinates:-[. They originate at the
Observatory of Paris, and not in Greenwich. He was actually extremely
precise:
▪the position measured by Alexander von Humboldt for the Plaza Mayor in
Cumaná, Sucre,Venezuela 1799-1800AD (E53) place /is defined by/
10°27'52"N 66°30'02"W (E94) [west of the Observatory of Paris =
64°09'51"W of Greenwich, actually 1,1km east of today’s Plaza Andrés
Eloy Blanco of Cumaná]
Best,
Martin
