Noah's Boat & The Bible-Google Maps.

[gordi]

hmmmmmm... The Daily STAR. (You gotta love it.... not! LOL)

"1000 Year Old Map". (Actually drawn around 1300 AD - just over 700 years ago, many many hundreds of years after the bible was actually created.)

"incredible evidence for the location of key Bible stories." uhm..? or a rough sketch of roughly where medieval people thought that the stories from the bible could roughly have taken place... roughly.

"Noah’s Ark –clearly depicted as a boat filled with creatures with a bearded man at the helm –is found in the bottom-left of the ancient artefact, and locates it on the modern-day Iran-Armenia border." Really? From what I can see, the sketched map lacks the detail or accuracy to place.... anything clearly, never mind on a specific mountain or border.

Have you seen its representation of Britain (and it was MADE in BRITAIN!!!)




So, I'm sorry, but for me the legitimacy of the "claims" in the newspaper are completely unfounded.

I LOVE old maps, and I actually really like looking at this one - it has some interesting details in it when you look at the hi-res versions online, but for them to claim it as "incredible" evidence of anything other than a medieval society's own notion of the rough placement of events that were supposed to have occurred in their bible is a bit laughable really.

Thanks to @BIAD for sharing though - I did enjoy looking at it!
