Excerpt: Carsten Niebuhr or Karsten Niebuhr (March 17, 1733 April 26, 1815) was a German mathematician, cartographer, and explorer that was in the service of the Danish state. Niebuhr was born in Ludingworth (now a part of Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony) in Electoral Hanoveran Bremen-Verden, the son of a small farmer. He had little education, and for several years of his youth he had to do the work of a peasant. He was bent towards mathematics, and he managed to obtain some lessons in surveying. It was while he was working at this subject that one of his teachers, in 1760, proposed to him to join the expedition which was being sent out by Frederick V of Denmark for the scientific exploration of Egypt, Arabia and Syria. To qualify himself for the work of surveyor and geographer, he studied hard at mathematics for a year and a half before the expedition set out, and also managed to acquire some knowledge of Arabic. The expedition sailed in January 1761, and, landing at Alexandria, ascended the Nile. Proceeding to Suez, Niebuhr made a visit to Mount Sinai, and in October 1762 the expedition sailed from Suez to Jeddah, journeying thence overland to Mocha.
