The map depicts ancient Egypt in the early 17th century, with clear physical features such as the Nile and mountain ranges.

Abraham Ortelius (Latinized as: Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from the Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels or Hortels) (Antwerp, April 14, 1527 – Antwerp, June 28, 1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Ortelius, along with Mercator, was the great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
