Cartography History

Cartography, the art and science of map-making, has evolved significantly over centuries. Early maps, like those from ancient Babylonia and Greece, reflected the limited knowledge of the world at the time. The Middle Ages saw the creation of fantastical maps, blending geography with mythology. The Age of Exploration in the 15th century prompted more accurate maps as explorers charted new territories. With advances in technology, such as satellites and GPS, modern cartography now allows for precise, detailed maps accessible on digital devices, transforming how we understand and navigate our world today.
