Do anybody know where is the navel of the world?

Question

do we really have navel of the world and why is call navel of the world?

Answer 1

The Navel of the World (Umbilicus Urbis Romae)
Next to the Arch of Severus stood a column which was called 'umbilicus urbis romae', which although it means 'the navel of the city of Rome' is perhaps better translated as 'the navel of the world'.
It was no doubt of of Rome's strongest symbols of empire.
On it stood the distances in miles to all the major cities of the empire, from Athen to Carthage and Alexandria to Londinium, they would all be named here.
Today however, all that remains is the bricks of the base of this once potent symbol of Roman power.

Answer 2

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui and Isla de Pascua, is a long way from anywhere. Te Pitoote Hanua, which means "Navel of the World" is the most isolated inhabited island in the world, being about 2000 mi (3200 km) from Chile and Tahiti, and until the Mataveri International Airport was built in the 1960's, getting there was only by ship.

Perhaps Hiva was in the Marquesas, 1600 miles to the west; perhaps not. What is certain is that the first king and his subjects spoke a Polynesian tongue and were shaped by Polynesian genes. Radio carbon dates point to an arrival sometime around 400 AD. "The real name for the island is Te Pito Te Henua," the horseman went on. "It means 'the navel of the world.' Europeans call it 'Easter Island' and the people who came here later call it 'Rapa Nui,' but Hotu Matua called it 'The Navel of the world'. Come visit me soon," he said, tapping his horse's neck with his reins.
