Have you wondered what Manhattan Island looked like before the humans occupied it? If you thought the Americans ruined Iraq (joke!) then have a look at those pictures by the lovely American publication National Geographic.
Have a look at these links:
1- Interactive Map (Recommended!)
2- Main article (a lot of words)
3- Pictures
This makes me think I was born too late!

"Have you wondered what Manhattan Island looked like before the humans occupied it?"
Before "humans" occupied it?
Stunning indeed! I think I prefer the island somewhere between 1609 and 2009 :)
All said, kudos to folks who've made this island what it is today. Kudos to its international stature, fame and acceptance - in banking, art, culture, fashion, true multi-culturalism, acceptance and the absolute varied ways of life.
Often when I walk around this island, it's hard to comprehend the options / varieties the tiny piece of island has to offer, almost overwhelming at times, yet there's absolute freedom and a sense of being able to just 'fit in'
Now only if people would appreciate and not abuse the freedoms and lifestyle the island has to offer - ah nothing is perfect when we humans are involved, I suppose :)
Thanks for the dedicated post. Believe me you, if I had the time / energy I'd sincerely post more often. You're a tough PR cookie Mr BuJ.
Dots, so have you been to NYC? I never been.. but i think you would somehow enjoy it more than me.. it's got all the techno things that u would love.
Welcome TCC.. not sure if I understand your question. It is obvious there wasn't much human occupation of Manhattan Island b4 the europeans arrived.. so yeah, it's occupation or habitation i guess..
Mr Rosh.. ur the man! Hope you liked the post :)
Tough PR cookie? Man, if I were President, I would ban that job description!! PR not cookies btw :)
