The Homann publishing house also edited maps about the history of the Ancient World, especially about Bible history (see also LK1767). To his investigations and descriptions of the geographic-historical development of the kingdoms of David and Salomon Johann Matthias Hase created six large maps, which were published from 1739.

 The first three maps (No 1 to 3) show the area of Egypt and Near East up to Mesopotamia during the reign of David and Salomon (10th century BC), in the Hellenistic period (end of the 4th century BC) and during the time of Herodes (end of the 1st century BC) .

 The fourth map (No 4) shows the region of Northern Egypt up to Southern Turkey and up to the rivers Euphrates and Tigris with Babylon in the east. With many itineraries engraved.

 The fifth and sixth map (No 5 and 6) show the region from Northern Egypt up to the Black Sea and to the east via the Caspian Sea up to the Indus river. Indicated are - with different outline colours - the kingdoms and empires in Egypt and Near East from the end of the 4th till the beginning of the 2nd century BC.
