Imagine a world where people had no GPS or smartphones, just paper and ink. These ancient maps showed the way for explorers to travel across oceans and discover new lands. Sometimes, they were wrong, like when a map said Africa was shaped like a donut, but that didn’t stop brave sailors from following them and making amazing discoveries.
Examples
- An ancient map showed a lion on the edge of Africa, it turned out to be an island.
- Explorers used a simple drawing to sail across oceans and find new lands.
- A child could draw a map with a stick in the sand, just like sailors did long ago.
