The elements necessary for the study of Biblical Geography are:

- The biblical map. It is an enumeration of cities not in logical or alphabetical order, but territorial. The origins of the biblical map can be placed in the ancient Egypt since it is in this empire where we have some relations of Palestinian cities, written on fragments of ceramics, clay tablets and monumental walls.

- The Amarna tablets. They are brick type ceramics. In 1900 a.C. some names of Canaanite cities were written on ceramics in some vessels that were destined to be broken. The message that after reading broke was written. There have been fragments found around the 1930s north of Palestine and Mesopotamia.

- Ostraca are ceramic pieces, jars where some text was written.

- In Muros some drawing or writing was put, especially in the entrances.

- Stellas are stone or ceramic tablets where important writings were placed.

- Execration texts are figurines with writings (curse texts usually).

- Lists of cities. The OT offers us some of these lists, which present an authentic biblical geography since they express in the same terms biblical category (Gn.10; Jos 13,21; II Cron 11,6-10).

- Lists of the Prophetic Corpus. Amos 1 distributes the nations from the geographical point of view. Ac 3 mentions the participants and their cities. Between the TA and us other sources mediated: extrabiblical classic historians: Herodotus, Pliny, Estrabon, and Ptolemy. The most important works presented by the ancient Palestinian topography is the "Onomasticon" by Eusebio Esbita in 330 a.C.

- Structured maps. The mosaic of Madaba of the year 600 d.C. on the floor of an Orthodox church in the Transjordan. It is still preserved but incomplete. The tabula petingeriana is a world map of rivers of communication reduced to a strip of 8 meters. long by 33 cms. wide, divided into 12 sections. The original could be from s. III d.C., while the copy that has reached us is 1225 d.C. which is conserved in the National Library of Vienna.
