I'm confidently recovering from an illness now.

Greece and Italy would be pretty difficult recognize, but otherwise I think it'd still be pretty obvious as it sits between two continents. I'd love to see a map like that one day though.

Doesn't there have to be some reference frame whereby a body is not moving through space at all? Not under influence of any force, just the expansion of the universe all around it making it seem as if it's accelerating from any observer.

Under the laws of special relativity an observer in a space ship travelling at 0.1c will see Earth speed up, while an observer on Earth will see the ship slow down. But if all speed is relative, both should see the other speed up, which feels paradoxical.

Remember that Pompeii still is mostly covered, even though it's right there. Archeologists don't do anything if it's potentially damaging. Once something is broken, it'll never come back. Patience gets awarded with more advanced tools.
