Geography (Ptolemy's)

Ptolemy's Geography, developed by the Greek scholar Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century, was an influential map-making system that used a coordinate grid of latitude and longitude to represent the Earth's surface. It compiled knowledge of land and sea locations, aiding in navigation and cartography. Ptolemy's work introduced methods for calculating positions and transforming geographic data, laying the foundation for modern map projection. Although based on limited data and sometimes inaccurate, his system marked a significant advancement in understanding and representing the world's geography systematically.
