Thanks for checking it out! I have the verse references, with plans to add all the relevant verses within the box as well. Most of the locations are known historically, however some could benefit with additional sources, such as Malta. I wi

I created an interactive map overlaying Apostle Paul’s 20,000km of journeys on a 1st century Roman Roads network, with modern vs. ancient cities and site photos. The base map utilizes the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire (DARE), which was

Absolutely, Dunhuang is such a crucial component of the Silk Roads. However I am only including the places we have traveled through ourselves, and we were not able to fit in Dunhuang when we were passing through the area. This Silk Road exp
