Loading ...The phrases from the third verse of the book of Genesis read as follows.
1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4 - And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And in todays’ world we just added a corollary
- And let it be mapped: and they have mapped light in real time and put it online.

The rectangular map which you would have seen in your Geography classes during school days would be derived using Mercator projection.
