The early portrayals of Florida's geography in state emblems displayed formations that suggested an elevated topography. However, Florida is notoriously flat, with the tallest natural formations merely hills—thus prompting the question: why did the mountains endure on official insignia until 1985?

Florida, as he asserts, is dotted with these structures, some rivaling those found in Giza and the Yucatan Peninsula.
