bible-earth.net – English version (beta)

»Bible Earth« is the name of a book that takes you to a virtual journey to over 40 places of the bible: with Google Earth!

Unfortunately it is only in German yet but we will try to over some of its content in English on this site in the early future.

If you are able to speak German visit the German Site or buy the book. If not you have to wait, sorry.

Google Earth is a fascinating program! The earth seen from the perspective of a satellite – our planet in space, surrounded by shining stars. Now you can move towards the continents, a country, a city, even nearer. Until you can see individual houses, cars and even persons. Regions in remote areas of the earth can be examined exactly, strange objects can be discovered. A whole fan community looks for strange places, flying airplanes, military facilities, domiciles of the prominent and lots of other interesting things.

Particularly in the USA there is much to discover. Most large cities are represented in high resolution and innumerable details can be explored. .



But even more exciting is to discover an area, to which hardly any tourist will be able to travel within the next years: The today's Iraq contains archaeological jewels, which you can now see from the air. You will achieve new impressions of a long past epoch: The excavations in Mesopotamien, where the Bible claims to be the cradle of mankind.

Discover the old Babylon, where American Apache helicopters stationed near the ancient Hanging Gardens today. See the excavations of Abrahams hometown Ur. We lead you further to Ninive, Assur and the whole area between Euphrates and Tigris. Join us to a journey to the mountain Ararat, to the assumed garden Eden and thus to the origins of mankind! Throw a view upon the world of the Bible with Google Earth!
