The Gaza Strip 2,000 years ago


=
I was reading about Tudor England and it led me to read about King Henry The VIII, which led me to read about the Buggery Act of 1533. Somehow this took me in the direction of reading about the Anglican Church, which of course led me towards the Carpenter from Nazareth.

There I found a very interesting map of Palestine from roughly 2,000 years ago. Take a look at it.

Especially look at the bottom left of the map, where the Gaza Strip is today. And in essentially the same location 2,000 years ago was Philistia.

This boggles the mind.
