Which map contains the oldest surviving original cartographic depiction of the Holy Land especially Jerusalem?
Correct answer: Madaba Map
Anna J
It must have been magnificent back in its day.
I am not a number.
Anna J, it is still magnificent now & is mostly intact. I've been fortunate enough to spend time in Jordan because of work and have seen many of the historic sites.
Maestra
Player #40905528, academically, CE is used because it doesn’t have a Christian meaning like AD (Anno Domini- year of our Lord) and Christians make up only a percentage of people on the planet.
I will say that since the dividing line between BCE and CE is still the birth of Jesus, it’s all kinda moot.

It’s a beautiful artifact which I was unaware of until we visited.
Procrastus
Maestra, yes, or switch ‘moot’ for absurd, who voted for it
