WHITE HATS
There was no such land called Israel before 1948 βΌοΈThe Israel of the bible was not a place or a land. Israel or the more correct Hebrew spelling Yis-ra-el is a nation of the descendants of Jacob ( Hebrews spelt it Yacob ) from the lineage of Issac Abraham David etc etc. The 12 tribes of Yis-ra-el are the Israelites in the bibles. Not the Israeli occupants of Gaza, they are the Kasars who came from Kasaria, ( modern day Ukraine area), These Kasars mainly Caucasians from the Caucasoid mountains, later adopted the religeon of judaism and started calling themselves Jews.
Where as the original biblical juws were called ju's because they were from the Tribe of Judah !!
There are a bunch of maps from the region at the time, regions seem to always be changing. There is a very interesting ones with holy sites or places identified. It does not photograph well because the spine of the book will crack if it opens too far.
thank you for sharing. i screenshot it and am excited to take a closer look.
My ancestors were Germans from Prussia so I get how boundaries can change
My daughter's dna test confirms we are predominantly German as told, yet my grandfather was born in what is now Kaliningrad Oblast, and grew up , as did his future wife, in what is now eastern Poland. She was German too!
Huh...my ancestors come from a country (Prussia) that isn't even a country anymore
My mom has a 1660's map book that is all in German. It so so amazing, the maps from all over the world, shows beyond what we know as the continents. All the forts and major starfort locations, energy centres, attire, etc. There is so much hidden land, and history. But it is all written in old German so translating is a bit tough sometimes
oh Wow
can you post a photo of it?
or give the cartographer's name?
