Mas'udi

Mas'udi was born in Baghdad and is known as the 'Herodotus of the Arabs' because he was the first Arab to combine history and scientific geography in a large-scale work. He travelled extensively in India, the Middle East, and Africa. Masudi wrote a 30-volume history of the world and recounted the experiences of his travels form Europe to India.
