Dr. Tony Nettleman and NLC Prep take a historic deep dive into the rich history of land surveying. In this episode we take a look at the roots of Land Surveying with some of the main influencers of the field today like Euclid of Alexandria, Pythagorus, and Archimedes. These historic figures of Ancient Greece laid the foundation for modern day professional land surveying.
Thank you for your effort! I appreciate you! From a Russian land surveyor.

Reading the night sky was very important to their culture and their advanced understandings of geometry and trigonometry specifically, lead them to make such precise estimations that would only be improved in the modern world.
