===Other places destroyed===
I've added some possible references for the other places the Ur-Quan destroyed. I grabbed the ones that I could think of first or find easily. I'm assuming that all the places have some kind of importance to mankind's history given the destruction of the other places. Here they are for the talk, and some of my thoughts on them:
*''blew away a kilometer of land in central Iraq''
:My best guess is Babel/Tower of Babel, but could be the Nameless City or Ubar (Iram of Pillars) but those are supposed to be Arabia.
*''vaporized several targets in the Amazon rain forest''
:The only mythology/fiction thing I could come up with was El Dorado, but it might just be other as yet undiscovered cities.
*''punched a big hole through the antarctic icecap to destroy something deep under the surface''
:This one could be a lot of things. My initial search turned up ''The Mountains of Madness'' and Campbell's ''Who goes there?'', which was made into a movie ''The Thing''. I'm not sure if there are some other "buried in antarctic" mythologies that existed prior to 1992 (the X-files movie came out in 1998).
*''melted a broad swath of the ocean floor in the south-eastern Atlantic''
:I thought this was Atlantis, but the south-east location seems a bit odd to me.
Am I missing any other possible references that these might be too? --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 07:32, 7 June 2006 (CEST)
