A Brief History of Cartography and Maps

That clay map was created by the Summerians! Not the babylonians.

A lot of gaps in this history — no mention of aboriginal, Native American, mesoamerican, Polynesian, or African cartography or representations? Celestial and nautical mapping are some of the earliest and most significant cartographic representations

Splendid video! I will play it to my students. :)

bro was in my online school

could i get a summary pls thx

Your statement that cartography in Europe was stifled by Christian literal interpretation of Scripture is a complete lie. Back your statement up without employing sophistry, because argumentum facile vincere cum dormieres - it's easy to win an argument when you're a lying. Scripture refers to the planet as a sphere. The Sumerians from which Abraham came, knew the Earth is round. Babylon with whom Biblically noted people were of the intellectual class, not only knew the Earth is round but calculated the rotation of the Earth around the sun. Some of the Medieval maps specifically depict a round Earth. There is much, much more. Stop lying about Christianity and the Bible.

Hogwash!!!

This video is far from being accurate

came here from luoa, cool vid

Who else is watching this in school right now???

Hey man you are just copy pasting the content from websites from internet search , I read it all last night, you are copying sentence to sentence , please !

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, or al-Khwarizmi and formerly Latinized as Algorithmi, was a "Persian" polymath, not Arab. This is how false history is propagated.

This video is total bullshit, did you make this as a joke. It needs to be blatant that this is totally incorrect because some child may see it and think these are facts.

“For i (Alexander,) Myself I’m by ancient descent a Macedonia , and i would not willingly see Macedonia gave her freedom for slavery.”
