Lost Byzantine City of Tharais Found in Jordan

Imagine a very old map, like a treasure map, from 1,500 years ago!

This map, called the Madaba Mosaic Map, showed ancient places.

Scientists used this map to find a lost city named Tharais in Jordan.

They dug and found parts of an old church, tools, and places where people made olive oil.

The map helped them match the real city to what was shown on the map, like the gates and towers.

This tells us the city was important for religion and trade.
