Wonder Woman: Where Is Themyscira Anyway?

06/06/2017 04:00 pm EDT

Patty Jenkins' stunning depiction of the homeland of the Amazons and Diana just about steals the show in Wonder Woman's early moments. Things get a bit muddled though when you try and discover just where the famed island exists in the real world.

There are a few landmarks that fans can use when trying to sort out where Themyscira is located. In the scene where Steve Trevor steals Doctor Poison's notebook, the location is classified as Turkey (via UPROXX). His plane lands in Themyscira during his journey to London, a trip they end up completing by boat from Themyscira (with the aid of a tugboat).

That means it is somewhere in between those two points, but there's a problem with that theory.

If you measure that in real world travel, he and Diana would have traveled through well known and frequently traveled places like the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, the Black Sea, as well as the English Channel. Even with the fog and shield, there's little chance that others would not have found Themyscira.

That means the most probable option is that it moves locations every so often so that no one can find their way back to it. That would also explain why if one leaves they cannot return, as they would not be able to pin down an exact location again without the aid of someone living there.

Of course, it could also mean Themyscira exists within some sort of time displacement or alternate dimension, but the above theory seems more accurate.

Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action-adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, Princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
