The first wall chart is dedicated to Abbas bin Fimas (810-887 AD) who may have been the first person and Muslim to attempt controlled flight. Born in Ronda, Spain (Andalusia), he was famous as an astronomer and inventor. In 825 he successfully 'parachuted' from the minaret of the Great Mosque of Córdoba. In 880 AD he attempted his second, and last, famous flight using silk and eagle feathers.
