His birthplace was in an area surrounded by German-speakers, allowing he and his brothers to learn to read and write both German and Czech. He traveled extensively throughout the Arab world. Among his discoveries was the desert castle of Qasr Amra (from the 8th century) in Jordan that was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. In 1902 Musil became professor of theology at the University of Olomouc, and in 1909, professor of Biblical studies and Arabic at Vienna University. In addition to modern and classical languages, he mastered 35 dialects of Arabic. He was so well acquainted with the Rwala-Beduins that he was accepted into the tribe as "Sheich Musa." He wrote more than 50 books (including six illustrated works published by the American Geographical Society and 20 children's books); some 1200 scholarly articles; transcriptions and translations of Bedouin tribal poems and songs; produced thousands of photographs of archeological sites and Bedouin people and prepared topographic maps and surveys of territories. His image appeared on a Czech Republic postage stamp in 2008.Color;1:500,00
