The Great Desert of Arabia

This engraved map, produced for The History of the World by Sir Walter Raleigh, first published in 1614, is a striking early 17th-century representation of the ancient Near East. It reflects Renaissance-era biblical and classical scholarship, blending historical geography with religious tradition. The map prominently labels regions such as Mesopotamia, Chaldea, The Great Desert of Arabia, and Arabia the Happie The North Part, referencing the classical notion of "Arabia Felix" as a fertile and prosperous land. The inclusion of biblical landmarks such as Eden and Paradise underscores the early modern European fascination with locating the Garden of Eden, often associated with the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
