Скачать или смотреть World's FIRST Complete Map - Did You Know?

Did you know that the earliest known complete map of the world was created by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greco-Roman mathematician, astronomer, and geographer, around 150 CE? His work, titled "Geographia," compiled the geographical knowledge of the Roman Empire and beyond, incorporating the use of longitudinal and latitudinal lines to depict the world as it was known at the time.

Ptolemy's map introduced the concepts of latitude and longitude, providing a coordinate system that allowed for the accurate plotting of locations. Although not entirely accurate by today's standards, "Geographia" was revolutionary for its time and laid the foundation for modern cartography. It remained a pivotal reference for geographers and explorers for many centuries.
