Tracing A Map Of The Exodus From Egypt

By Harold Watson


Religion is an organized set of spiritual beliefs. There will usually be a central figure, a spiritual founder. Now, there will be places of worships, usually churches or temples of some sort. There will also be some behavioral guidelines that the believers are expected to follow every day in their lives. The thing about the night sky is that it is so vast. Throughout its inky blackness, there are so many stars that twinkle against it, it can make a person wonder if there was someone who crafted it, who put it all together. Such musings then formed the basis for religion. Some of these musings can be done over a map of the Exodus from Egypt.

Now, according to the Bible and popular culture, there was a slave class in Egypt. They were supposedly the ones who built the pyramids. Then they were set free by the chief deity of their faith, using an intermediary who was supposedly raised by Egyptian royalty.

They were set free because their deity rained down hell on Egypt, sometimes literally. The water turned to blood. There were pests everywhere. Then the final nail in that particular coffin was killing off every firstborn child.

Now, once they were free, they wandered. They went about the desert, hoping to get to the land of milk and honey, where they could kick back and relax for the rest of their lives. But, given how long they supposedly wandered, a lot of them never go to see it. Because they supposedly wandered for about forty or so years.

Tracing the exact route taken can be rather difficult. The names which these lands had has undoubtedly changed. Not to mention there really is not an exact log of where they wandered. Just a few places. A story, in essence, but one lacking details.

Finding a map should be easy enough. After all, the internet is a thing that exists out in the world. So using it to find the route that was taken should not be all that difficult. Just type in a few keywords, hit ENTER, and then wait for the internet to do its thing, the thing that it does best.

Then there are older maps. Cartography is a long tradition. So is religion. It makes sense that the two would meet in the middle. Older maps can be purchased, but they may cost a bit of change.

There really is no reason to have one. But maps can be put on walls. Not for any real purpose other than to be decorations. It just looks good. It looks classy, plus having one of the exodus just adds a spiritual dimension to the aesthetic.

Mileage is going to vary. In the same vein that not every car is going to have the same gas mileage, the gospels are not going to affect the listeners in the exact same way. Which is why it is best to look into the different points of view.
