St George's Church, Madaba, Jordan. On the floor of this Greek Orthodox basilica, behind the barrier, is the 6th century Byzantine Madaba Mosaic Map. The mosaic is made of 2 million pieces of coloured stone and depicts the Holy Land. It was made 542-570 AD and is the oldest geographic floor mosaic in the world. It was rediscovered in 1884 when the current church was built.
