Geographical Errors are a type of error found in The Bible.

Some examples:

  • Mark 5:13 - And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

This story takes place in Gadara, which is about ten kilometers from the Sea of Galilee. The herd could not possibly have just run down a steep place to it, plus they'd have to cross the Yarmuk River along the way.


  • Luke 8:26 - Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes

Luke tells of this same story happening at Gerasa, which is even further from the sea.
