Built on the foundations of an ancient Byzantine church, the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George is home to the oldest, most precise map of biblical Israel and the surrounding areas. The church is northwest of Madaba, a provincial town of the Roman Empire that is now a Jordanian village.
There's a tiny pic on my drive, nabbed off the Ron Wyatt site years ago, which (kinda) shows the mosaic in context in the room. The second link leads to lots of images from the town, including one showing the map as part of the actual floor. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
