Cool Map Puzzle (and Educational)

I ran across this on Google+ and think it is a good demonstration of difficulty we have depicting the world which is three dimensional in a two dimension format.

How long does it take you to solve this puzzle?

One piece in particular took me awhile.

Kings of Israel - Nice Poster

I thought this poster was nice.  It would sure help me remember all those pesky Kings of Israel.  Every time I see the list, I think.... why all the "J" names???  "S" is a way better letter.
