The sphericity of the Earth was established by Greek astronomers in the 3rd century BC with the earliest terrestrial globe appearing during that period. The earliest known globe was constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilicia now Cukurova in modern-day Turkey in the mid-2nd century B.C.E. Now known as the Erdapfel the earliest extant terrestrial globe was produced in 1492 by German mapmaker navigator and merchant Martin Behaim in Nuremberg Germany. Traditionally globes were manufactured by gluing a printed paper map onto a sphere often made from wood. Newton, Son & Berry unknown books
