Occator crater lights complex on the Ceres planetoid.

a) Why is Occator Crater here?

This should not be confused with a scientific claims, but instead is a statement about artistic observations and comparisons.

If we had a detailed map of the crater with names for all of the various little land formations, it would be very much easier to talk about the comparisons to be made. 
 
But the photographs are not very detailed and few names have been given to any of the features in order to say "Yes, I know that little place, that little corner or that curious land feature over there by name"
 
However I wouldn’t have the answer to why I think that I should be able to make these comparisons since as far as history understands, we didn’t have the technology to see the place all those hundreds of years ago, and it would be useless of me to claim we did without some form of evidence.
 
I may have overlooked something but we don’t have accounts of perhaps any mysterious shamanistic visions or out of body experiences that have talked about such a place in a way that sound recognisable.
 
There are no accounts of people in the bible being taken by angels to a heavenly place before returning Earth to tell everyone about a place that sounded suspiciously like Occator Crater.
 
But most of the images that might seem similar to what we have seen of this crater, looks as if the viewers had got no closer to it than our Dawn space probe mission. 
 
But 20th century artists such as Jack Kirby who drew something similar to it as the mysterious city of the Eternals on top of Mount Olympia, were able to produce pictures that mysteriously suggested that something of this place could be experienced just by being in a creative state of mind.
 
If Occator crater turns out to be just another crater, with no ruins left by divine beings perhaps of the type from Jack Kirby comic book stories, but with a series of interesting bumps and decorated with bath salts reflecting the sunlight, it doesn't really take the magic away.

w.i) Richard C Hoagland gives the heads up about Occator Crater
 
I think that it was in the year of 2015, on Coast To Coast Am, Richard C Hoagland gave the heads up about Occator Crater being a place of interest on Ceres because of the lights, as the Dawn probe approached the planetoid

The Dawn probe sends the first clear images of Occator Crater.

Also see numerous photos from the NASA website posted since. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/?search=occator&category=#submit
