Antonia Frederick Futterer is often referred to as the man who inspired the fictional film hero Indiana Jones. He was born in Australia and later moved to California.
In 1911 he developed a bible study course called the "Eye-Ographic Bible." In 1924 he established the Holyland Bible Knowledge Society and his home in California was turned into a museum ("Holyland Exhibition"). It is filled with his artifacts and teachings. If you search for Futterer and TV station KCET you will find an article on the Holyland Exhibition, in which you can see some enlarged maps taken directly from The Eye-Ographic Bible Atlas. Here is an excerpt from the article on that KCET page:
"Welcome to the Holyland Exhibition, a home and museum dedicated to Antonia Futterer, an eclectic religious adventurer. His house was a center for Bible study in the early 20th century and a repository of treasures that he amassed while traveling the Middle East on a search for the Ark of the Covenant. Some say he was the inspiration for the character of Indiana Jones. While he never found the Ark, his collection is expansive. It includes ornate furniture from Syria, antique oil lamps, and even a centuries-old Egyptian sarcophagus. Five rooms display lavish tapestries, Armenian ceramics, and some kitschy souvenirs he picked up along the way. In 1924, he opened his collection to people of all faiths with the goal of bringing a bit of the Middle East to Los Angeles"
