Abraham Ortelius (April 14, 1527 - June 28, 1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Beginning as a map-engraver, he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He met Gerardus Mercator in 1554, who influenced his decision to become a scientific geographer. In 1564 he published his first map, Typus Orbis Terrarum, an eight-leaved wall map of the world. In 1578 he laid the basis of a critical treatment of ancient geography by his Synonymia geographica.

Saudi Arabia/Iran/Persia: A map or diagram showing the Ka'ba or Kaaba at the heart of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. From 'Futuh al-Haramayn' (Triumph of the Holy Places) by Muhyi al-Din Abd al-Rahman al-Lari al-Ansari, c. 1527. The Kaaba or Qaaba (the Cube) is a cuboid-shaped building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and is the most sacred site in Islam. The Qur'an states that the Ka'ba was constructed by Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic), and his son Ishmael (Ismail in Arabic), after the latter had settled in Arabia. The building has a mosque built around it, the Masjid al-Haram.

Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was a Brabantian cartographer and geographer, conventially known as the creator of the first modern atlas, the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' (Theatre of the World). He was one of the most notable figures in the Dutch school of cartography during their golden age (roughly 1570s-1670s), his publishing of his atlas in 1570 being seen as its official beginning.
