Where John was baptizing, east of the Jordan — not the Bethany near Jerusalem. The exact site was lost early: Origen, in the third century, could not find a 'Bethany' there and proposed reading 'Bethabara' instead, a variant that entered some manuscripts. Marked undetermined on the map rather than guessed.
📍 No fixed point plotted — the location is genuinely undetermined (see the note above), so this shows no guessed pin.
🗺️ No ancient-world overlay on the shelf yet for this site — a period map
showing how the region actually looked in the biblical world gets added here as Mr. Librarian curates one,
the same way the encyclopedia's film shelf grows.
▶ No films on the shelf yet — archaeology and geography videos get added here as Mr. Librarian finds good ones.
