What is the "Divine Name" map?

The "Divine Name" map is a volunteer, non-commercial project aimed at providing an overview of places where the name of God (as primarily defined in the Bible) can be found.
The locations include religious sites, museums, monuments, tourist attractions, and more.
Although it lists places that are religious in nature, this map has no religious purpose; it is simply the result of an interest in history, archaeology, and biblical culture.
When opening the map, the user can allow geolocation, which lets them instantly see if the Divine Name is visible nearby.

What is meant by the expression “The Divine Name”?

The expression “the Divine Name” comes from biblical and religious tradition, primarily Judaism and Christianity, and refers to the personal name of God revealed in the sacred texts.

What are the forms of the Divine Name listed on the map?

These are the forms of this name found in the manuscripts of the Bible, notably its tetragrammaton form in Hebrew יהוה, its abbreviated version יה or its older form 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄), as well as transliterations (YHWH, IHVH, ...) and translated or adapted forms in various languages.
Substitutes for the Divine Name are not listed (for example the words "God," "Lord," ...).

May I contribute to enriching the map’s content with new places and photos?
