Best Answer

The earliest known globe was constructed by the scholar Crates of Mallus in Cilicia (now Çukurova in modern-day Turkey) around 150 BC. An ancient celestial globe that still exists was made about 150 AD as part of a sculpture, called the Farnese Atlas, in the Naples Museum, Naples, Italy.[1] The first globe of the Old World was constructed in the Muslim world during the Middle Ages.[2] The oldest existing terrestrial globe was made by Martin Behaim in Nürnberg, Germany, in 1474.[1] A facsimile globe showing America was made by Martin Waldseemueller in 1507. Another early globe, the Hunt-Lenox Globe, ca. 1507, is thought to be the source of the phrase "Here be dragons."
