Jewish History on Google Maps
The creators of the popular Rap Map have now turned their attention away from music and towards religion. They say they have built the Jew Map out of love for Jewish history and also to impress their mothers.
The map shows the locations of important landmarks in Jewish history from the Red Sea to Katz’ Delicatessen in New York. The map also includes the option to ‘suggest a location’ by completing a short form.
The Jew Map is the first of a number of historical maps from Rap Genius. There are plans to release The Black Map (a map of black history/culture) and the Cold War Map soon.
