Fra Mauro map

So if you go back and look at maps from the time of Jesus Christ, you'll find that there was no Cairo.

around at that time there was Heliopolis right and there was this Mahdi which you know means calendar it's directly east of the pyramid complex across you know right across the uh the uh the Nile River and actually when I was in Florence not too long ago I found a map on the wall in Galileo Museum So the Galileo Museum has a big map in there, and it's called the Fra Mauro map.

It's actually a facsimile copy.

It's like a very, very highly detailed, perfected copy of another map that's in another location.

So Babylon today is still, it's still called Babylon there.

Why we automatically assumed that Babylon had to be somewhere else is really kind of mind blowing.

Now, this is the map that I mentioned by Fra Mauro and the one I found in Florence.

And if you look, a couple things stood out to me.
