Working with geography: Artaxerxes and the vast ancient Persian Empire


 


I looked up Artaxerxes (see Nehemiah 2: 1).  Besides being the King of Kings of Persia, he was also Pharoah of Egypt.  Here is a reason for working with Geography in reading the scriptures. 

I guess one needs permission to reprint maps from the Internet, so I will try to outline just what the Persian Empire consisted of.  I wonder if I can draw a map and pop that in?

Ed. What a wonder: we were able to convert PDF to JPG and voila - the map appears on our blog, albeit much smaller than we would have liked!!
