Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer who is best known for creating the first modern atlas in 1570 called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." His evidence for creating the atlas came from a wide range of sources, including maps, travel accounts, and geographical knowledge available during his time. Ortelius compiled and synthesized this information to produce a comprehensive and accurate representation of the known world.
He took his son to the mountain because God told him to. It was a test to see if Abraham would obey God. Once there, God told Abraham to kill Isaac. As Abraham was about to kill Isaac, God said "Stop, you have proven yourself to me"!
Abraham offered up Isaac on Mount Moriah, as recounted in the Bible in the Book of Genesis.

Abraham Ortelius was a cartographer and mapmaker who is known for creating the first modern atlas in 1570 called "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". His evidence was based on compiling information from various sources, including explorers' reports, travelers' journals, and existing maps, to create a comprehensive and accurate representation of the world known at that time. Ortelius's atlas was groundbreaking in its use of a uniform scale and design, which set a new standard for mapmaking.

Continental drift
Abraham Ortelius did not propose the theory of Pangaea. It was Alfred Wegener who proposed the theory of Pangaea in the early 20th century, suggesting that the continents were once joined together in a single supercontinent that later broke apart and drifted to their current positions.
Abraham Ortelius proposed the theory of continental drift in 1596 in his work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." He suggested that continents were once joined together as a single landmass before slowly drifting apart to their current positions. His theory laid the groundwork for the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
