Mounting A Map Of The Exodus From Egypt

By Harold Watson


Religion is an organized set of spiritual beliefs. There will usually be a central figure, a spiritual founder. Now, there will be places of worships, usually churches or temples of some sort. There will also be some behavioral guidelines that the believers are expected to follow every day in their lives. The thing about the night sky is that it is so vast. Throughout its inky blackness, there are so many stars that twinkle against it, it can make a person wonder if there was someone who crafted it, who put it all together. Such musings then formed the basis for religion. Some of these musings can be done over a map of the Exodus from Egypt.

Now, according to the Bible and popular culture, there was a slave class in Egypt. They were supposedly the ones who built the pyramids. Then they were set free by the chief deity of their faith, using an intermediary who was supposedly raised by Egyptian royalty.

They were set free because their deity rained down hell on Egypt, sometimes literally. The water turned to blood. There were pests everywhere. Then the final nail in that particular coffin was killing off every firstborn child.

Now, once they were free, they wandered. They went about the desert, hoping to get to the land of milk and honey, where they could kick back and relax for the rest of their lives. But, given how long they supposedly wandered, a lot of them never go to see it. Because they supposedly wandered for about forty or so years.

It can be rather difficult to trace the path that was taken. Biblical account can vary. Also, names of places and territories have changed in the thousands of years that have gone by since that even supposedly took place. However, some scholars have been able to trace a rather rough draft of where the former slaves were when they were looking for the land of milk and honey.

Now, the internet exists. So maps can be found on it. They should be mostly accurate, at least according to available sources.

The option to go older is always there. Religion has fascinated people for thousands of years. It only makes sense that there are Exodus maps from well before the age of industrialization. These surviving maps will probably fetch a pretty penny on the open market, but they would look so good mounted on a wall.

There really is no reason to have one. But maps can be put on walls. Not for any real purpose other than to be decorations. It just looks good. It looks classy, plus having one of the exodus just adds a spiritual dimension to the aesthetic.

Now, people are different from each other. While they are not all entirely unique, there is enough distinction that no two individuals are totally the same. Which is why even faith has many interpretations.
