The World’s Oldest Map of the Holy Land Is Coming to Life in Göttingen

 famous sixth-century Byzantine mosaic preserved in the Church of St. George in Madaba, Jordan

The University of Göttingen uses virtual reality technology, pop-up exhibits, and interactive displays to bring a 1,500-year-old mosaic masterpiece to life. Researchers at the University of Göttingen’s Archaeological Institute are reimagining a remarkable treasure–a large-scale replica of the oldest known existing mosaic map of the Holy Land. Supported by a grant from the Novus Foundation, the map is now far more visible and interactive than ever before. 

The World’s Oldest Surviving Map of the Holy Land 

Surprisingly, the actual masterpiece doesn’t exist in Germany at all. The original archaeological evidence documenting the Holy Land before the onset of the Islamic conquests in the early 7th century is located in St. George’s Church in Madaba, Jordan. The map was originally painstakingly assembled from stone tesserae during the sixth century, during the reign of Emperor Justinian. He was the most influential Roman Emperor for the construction of the Hagia Sophia and the Codification of Roman law, which was completed during his lifetime. Known today as the Madaba Map, it’s widely regarded as the earliest surviving cartographic depiction of the Holy Land, and at its heart, Jerusalem itself.
