This map describes the journey the Israelites took from Egypt to Israel, including the forty stops they made along the way. It also depicts a number of the events that occurred during the journey. For example, Pharaoh and his chariot can be seen drowning in the Red Sea, aptly colored red, while the figure of a horned Moses holding out a staff over the Sea appears on the other side.
The map's creator, Heinrich Bunting, lived in Germany during the Renaissance period in the sixteenth century and presented the biblical story from the more accurate scientific perspective of the time.
Both the illustrations on the map and its proportions can teach us a lot about the history of ancient cartography.
