Carsten Niebuhr or Karsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) was a German mathematician, cartographer, and explorer. He was renowned for his participation in the 1761 Danish Arabia Expedition to which he was the only survivor. Niebuhr's first book, Beschreibung von Arabien, was published in Copenhagen in 1772, the Danish government providing subsidies for the engraving and printing of its numerous illustrations. This was followed in 1774 and 1778 by the two volumes of Niebuhr's Reisebeschreibung von Arabien und anderen umliegenden L瓣ndern. These works (particularly the one published in 1778), and most specifically the accurate copies of the cuneiform inscriptions found at Persepolis, were to prove to be extremely important to the decipherment of cuneiform writing.
