Desertum ubi quadraginta annis erraverunt filii Israelis ducente Moyse
Listen to the story
Desertum ubi quadraginta annis erraverunt filii Israelis ducente Moyse is a whole sentence rather than a name: the desert where the children of Israel wandered for forty years, led by Moses. It recalls the biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt. The map sets it beneath a range of mountains drawn between the sea and the desert, marking the border between Palestine and Egypt.
