Atlas is a map of the lands of scripture, drawn over real terrain. Every place the Bible names is a point you can open, every era has its own view, and the roads the patriarchs, Israel, Jesus and Paul travelled play as narrated journeys. Ask the guide where something happened and the map flies there. Atlas is on the web at app.seedscroll.app, in the Atlas tab. It is not yet in the iOS or Android app.
Journeys, spoken narration and the guide are premium features. The map, its places, artifacts and links to the reader are open to everyone. Access to the premium parts ends if your subscription lapses.

​
Explore the map

The map opens over Jerusalem, tilted so the hill country reads as hills. Drag to move, scroll to zoom, and hold the right mouse button (or two fingers on a trackpad) to tilt and rotate. Press the Home button beside the map’s controls to return to the opening view at any time. Every glowing point is a place named in scripture. Open one to see:
  • What kind of place it is (a city, a mountain, a river, a region) and its modern name where it has one
  • How many verses name it, with links that open each one in the reader
  • Any artifacts or reconstructions tied to it
Where a place’s location is uncertain, the card says so.

​
Eras

The rail under the map moves the map through time: Patriarchs, Exodus and Conquest, Judges, Kingdom, Exile and Return, Gospels and Acts, or All for every place at once. Each era lights only the places that belong to it. In the All, Exodus and Conquest, Judges and Kingdom views the map also shades the tribal allotments of Joshua 13–19; open one to read the verses that set its borders.

​
Hebrew names

The Names toggle beside the era rail switches place labels between their English names and the Hebrew names as the Cepher spells them. If you read a Cepher translation in the reader, Atlas opens with Hebrew names already on.

​
Artifacts and reconstructions

Some places carry 3D models: reconstructions of Babylon, Solomon’s Temple, Herod’s Temple and the Tabernacle, scans of sites like the synagogue at Capernaum, and museum artifacts like the Lachish reliefs. Open one from its place card to turn it in a full-screen viewer. Each model shows its author and licence.

​
Journeys

Journeys and their spoken narration are premium features.
A journey plays a road from scripture stop by stop. The camera flies from one stop to the next, the road lights up ahead of it, and a narrator tells what happened there while the panel shows the verses to read. Four journeys are ready to take, offered above the guide bar:
  • Abraham’s journey: Ur of the Chaldeans to the cave of Machpelah
  • The Exodus: out of Egypt, through the sea and the wilderness, to the Jordan
  • Jesus’ last week: from the supper at Bethany to the road to Emmaus
  • Paul’s first journey: Antioch to Cyprus and Galatia and home again
While a journey plays you can pause, skip forward or back, mute the voice, or leave it. Captions stay on, so a journey follows the same pace with the sound off. The panel also says how far each leg is and how long the whole road runs, as the crow flies along the route drawn on the map. From any journey you can:
  • Generate study: open the study generator with the whole journey as its brief
  • Make a reading plan: save the journey as a reading plan, one stop a day
Both use Seed Scroll’s AI study tools, so what they produce carries the AI-assisted label like any other generated study or plan.

​
Ask the guide

The guide is a premium feature. You need to be signed in, and it shares your daily allowance of AI answers with the other AI features.
Type a question into the bar at the foot of the map: Where did Elijah face the prophets of Baal? or Where did Moses see the promised land? The map flies to the place, and the answer arrives as a card with a short summary, the verses that tell it, and any artifacts tied to it. If the answer is not somewhere on the map, the card says so and still gives you the verses. Ask for a road rather than a place, such as Show me David’s flight from Saul, and the guide composes a journey on the spot: stops in order, verses at each, played the same way as the authored journeys, with captions in place of a recorded voice.

​
From the reader to the map

On the web, places named in a verse are links in the reader. Open one and Atlas flies straight to it, with the verse card open. The verse study panel shows a Map chip whenever the verse names a place.

​
Languages

Atlas follows the app language. In Spanish the eras, journeys, narration and the guide’s answers are in Spanish, and distances read kilometres first.
