The Jewish people returned to its homeland in Israel after 2000 years of Diaspora, and after the holocaust. One of the holocaust lessons is that a strong Israeli state is a moral duty for the free world. But the borders of the Promised Land are not defined precisely in the Bible. It is written in the Bible that the Lord, the Jewish people, and the Land of Israel are a united entity. This definition determined the fate of the Jews. Contrary to the clear development of the Jewish people and its laws, the borders remained obscure, and influenced major political decisions.
For many years I've been interested by cognitive maps as explanations of the elements in space. A cognitive map is the actual map as perceived by the individual's mind, according to his own personal interpretation of data. In a long process of combining between satellite photos, anatomy models, and history, I drew a cognitive map of the land of Israel. I found that the Land of Israel has a human shape! You can read all about it at length in: http://www.holylandmap.net
The correlation is very clear. I discovered dozens regions in the map of Israel that can be humanized. The landscape can serve as a model for anatomy lessons. This shape includes: The land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as the face, the Negev Plateau as the neck, Sinai Peninsula as the torso.
The Holy Land map as human shape is a revolutionary description. It harmonizes with the meanings of the three big monotheistic religions. It is a physical reality, with a particular relief that engrave and raise the spirit.
