Abraham Ortelius, the man who made the world's first present day map book honored by a Google

doodle.

Today, with things going computerized and on the web, we have maps, GPS, and satellite

symbolism of the globe readily available.

In any case, that wasn't generally the case.

Over 400 years prior, it was May 20, 1570 when Abraham Ortelius distributed the world's

first present day map book.

It was called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theater of the world), and Google is recalling the

Abraham Ortelius by devoting him an exceptional doodle.

Abraham Ortelius was born on April 4 1527, in the city of Antwerp, which was Habsburg

Netherlands before, and now Belgium.

Ortelius filled in as a guide etcher and he went to Europe a few times on business trips,

which made him acquainted with the areas and nearby traditions.

His chart book united land maps.

Ortelius' map book is noteworthy for several reasons.

Inside the pages, the main confirmation of the marvel of mainland float was recorded.

The hypothesis recommends that the mainlands were already combined before floating separated

in their present-day positions.

Before distributing the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," he had first distributed his guide in 1564,

after which he turned into the preeminent cartographer amid his time.

What's more, a year in the wake of distributing the map book in 1570, he discharged the incredible

world guide including 53 enriching maps, and some of them were decorated with ocean creatures.

Ortelius kicked the bucket in 1598, which denoted an open grieving in Antwerp, and today,

his unique maps are gatherer's things that offer for several thousands.
