A Medieval map, now at the Israel Museum, depicts the Middle East, Iran, and India as a winged horse facing west to the Mediterranean Sea. The haunch of the horse is India; Iran and the Arabian Peninsula are the torso; the chest and neck are Palestine/Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon; the head is Asia Minor with Armenia as the brain.
