Joseph of Arimathea's Map (アリマタヤのヨセフの地図, Arimataya no Jyosefu no chizu) is an item featured in the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Steel Ball Run.
Summary
When Jesus resurrected, he drew a map of the America in which he indicated the location of the future parts of his corpse. Joseph of Arimathea witnessed the miracle and copied the map on a parchment.
It was found hidden in 1191, 5 meters under an abbey, and later was stolen during the 16th century. Its whereabouts became unknown, until Funny Valentine found the map in the Parliament in 1889. He then used the map to organize the route of the Steel Ball Run race.
