Quote:Aga: I see the map this way,
Right: Nile Delta
Top right: the rest of the Red Sea
Top right: Dead Sea, left; Lake Genetzareth.
It shows the coast of Israel, you have to turn the map 90° right.
There's a compass at the bottom of the Hebrew map that shows North to be bottom-left.
Putting east or south at the top was normal in the Middle Ages (and sometimes in the 16th and 17th centuries, as well).
