Interior of St George's Church, Madaba, Jordan. On the floor of this Greek Orthodox church, 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.
