Human Shape of the Holy Land


God had created man in his shape.

in his spiritual life man tries to get closer to god's virtues.

At the same time, Man's body proportions are according to the Golden Ratio, the Divine Proportions.


How can the Holy Land combine this?

What is the reason for the longings to the Land of Israel in all Monotheistic cultures, longings that find their expression as a strong physical and emotional experience in religious hymns throughout history.

The connection in this hymns between the geography and the celestial is much stronger then in a simple metaphor.


The answer is amazing:

The Land of Israel has a Shape Similar to that of the Human Body


It is a physical reality with a particular relief, which engraves and raises the spirit.


The correlation between the Land of Israel and the human body is accurate.

The landscape can almost serve for anatomy lessons.

The figure includes:
The land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as faceת
The Negev Plateau as neck.
Sinai Peninsula as the torso.


It is a commentary of the Bible, Judaism and the borders of Israel.

The map is a message of social Humanism, global progress and personal freedom.


In the process of creating the map, the landscape was examined with photographs and maps, in relation to the human anatomy and other figures.

The level of correlation is much higher then that in other anthropomorphic maps.

It is a correlation which calls for a scientific examination.


The idea of the correlation human body and the geography of Israel was developed according to the principle that there is continuous dialogue between mankind and landscape, as a dynamic sublimation process, and as an image in practice.
