Anthropomorphism is the attribution of appearance and qualities of human beings to animals and inanimate. It is very common in all world civilizations as a mean of expressing ideas. All religions use this principle at daily level. The developments in computer and robotic technology create a bigger need of it for optimizing the connection between man and machine. The huge popularity of Anthropomorphism is because the human body is a major focus of attention concerning health [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nutrition and nurturing.

From the 17th to the 19th century Atlases of this genre were very popular. Anthropomorphic maps are developed occasionally into caricatures in the Media. The state of Israel is described frequently as a ridiculous anthropomorphic image by the Arab media. The Land of Israel [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although a favored cartographic subject [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], never had its proper anthropomorphic map. The Holy land Map as a Human Shape can fill the empty space in this field.
