The nineteenth century marked the start of the crumbling of the
Ottoman Empire. This led to a new era, in which many people of
different nations started their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In 1818, a
Czech doctor named Sieber visited Jerusalem, and was the first person
known to make a geodesic map of Jerusalem.
