Good evening Mosbatho,
Thank you for your diligence and for your zeal. Please delete the image asap. It should not even be online after it was excluded from the respective Wikipedia article.
Just for the future, this is a GoogleMyMaps created through my person (see bottom center of the image). Google explicitly allows to share maps created through GoogleMyMaps. For your reference: https://support.google.com/mymaps/answer/3109452 .
Please be more cautious in the future when it comes to such accusations. I forgive you.
Best regards

Dear Belbury,
Please find the proof that I created this map here (page 3) https://www.scribd.com/document/591526268/Eden-The-Land-and-Garden-Proof-for-Karaca-Dag-Location-in-Upper-Mesopotamia
The base map used is the following: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=13oAbhcqZMx6Ae6wajYAkh929R0eexg6_&ll=34.228771705815774%2C36.40400044804872&z=5
You are correct that Google Maps are protected by copyright, but not Google MyMaps, which are explicitly authorized by Google to be shared, see https://support.google.com/mymaps/answer/3109452
Please do not hesitate to require further information.
