It covers the region between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, depicting numerous Biblical sites, including the wanderings of the Children of Israel, Jonas & the whale, and the Garden of Eden. Banner style title with the four corners of the map containing fully colored vignettes; the creation of Adam & Eve in Paradise, Eve offering Adam the apple, and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
