Humans have known maps for thousands of years, and are gaining importance over time, on their way to remote lands, and to give shape to the lost ball in space without a face they know, then, called the Earth.

The history of the first known map of the world, and arranged by the geographical world and Muslim historians "Mohammed bin Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Idris," known as "Sharif Idrissi", and historical conferences in general, until his map drawn in 1154.

Born in Morocco in 1100, Idrissi moved to Andalusia, hid on Sicily, and remained as young as he was in his sleep.

Idrissi's voyage began in 1138, and ended fifteen years later (1153) until it arrived in Palermo, the place it publishes on the first map of the world. Equal, created in the south of the world.

But, how Idrissi drew the map

Perhaps our map today is upside down, perhaps not just geographically, or that Idrissi made a mistake and peace. After Idrissi's death in 1160, the world map will undergo many scientific and political transformations. 

More than three centuries after the death of Idrissi, French astronomer and mathematician Orense Vigne (1494-1555) came up with another opinion.

He was the first head of the mathematics department at the Collège de France now, and was one of the first French scientists to work in the field of cartography. Between 1511 and 1566. This projective system was inspired by the projections described by the geographer of the second century "Ptolemy", who drew the map of the world unlike the Idrisi.

good luck
