    When I was a kid when I would travel around the national parks, I used a piece of paper and would trace the horizon. Mountains, giant trees, rivers etc. Basic enough, but it worked well. I would imagine something of that sort happened back then

      Even today, rather than using GPS, one is better served by a map, protractor, and compass. And even with those fantastic tools, one is still better served by their use of terrain association - using landmarks to orientate oneself. So you actually naturally served yourself very well by making use of the features of the landscape. You were a smart kid.

    This has always fascinated me. We are so used to accurate maps and know exactly how to get to places and what "shape" things are. But what was it like for the Greeks? The Romans? Did they know what "shape" their empire was? What the shape of the Persian empire is?

    • @KJBWorld
      @KJBWorld Рік тому +10

      I am unable to speak for the Greeks. However the Romans of antiquity had fairly accurate maps and mapping systems. They knew how to lay out road ways and accurately measure them. Their army logistical officers were apparently very adept at making, studying and perfecting maps. At least on land, they did not do so well on water until the Imperium.
      The Romans probably knew the shape of the Persian Empire (Sassonids at this point?) as they invaded Tsephone several times, and apparently knew about canals and waterways, that even the Sassonids were unaware of.

      @@20chocsaday Cartography is a lost art as machines do almost everything now. Just need a guy set up the machines and operate them and use a computer. Don't even need a cartographer or anyone to do math or draw. 3d scans and the like is all you need and satiates can do that. Cartographers used to always part of the crew/team for expeditions since antiquity. They would actually draw not just maps, but views from shores and landmarks. Sea expeditions cartographers would draw coastlines and what landmasses and islands looked like from a distance. After a expedition the cartographer would compile the data into a suitable map. They would then get artists and later image copy techniques (before photography) to make copies. Explores, ship captians, traders, merchants, and rulers were pretty much the only people who used maps so not tons of copies needed made back then..

    The Polynesians developed superb navigators of the Pacific who took their cues from very near ones like wave patterns, cloud formations, and birds indicating land was nearby, to using complex celestial navigation on very long direct voyages. Their system was somewhat fail safe in their environment because finding favorable winds for sailing eastwardly were not that difficult to locate. If something went seriously wrong on a voyage, the ocean surface currents which mostly moved from east to west would eventually return them to somewhere in the general area of their starting point.

      Partially true. There are definitely different styles of maps even within cultures for different purposes. On a 2D surface to map a coastline's shape accurately you cannot map the relative sizes of continents accurately (assuming the globe surface is 3D/rounded; even today Greenland and such on maps looks more massive than it is). Alternatively they may approximate the coastal details in favour of the accurate sizing of the islands/continents and countries.
      Another type map might be elevation maps where a mountain or hill or valley is demonstrated by a series of lines of the same elevation closer or father appart. (Most people don't use these unless they work in civil eng., geology, mining, flood mitigation, etc. )

    I would imagine that navigation by oral tradition was functional because the routes were demonstrated, first hand by the orators themselves. They would show you how to get there while providing a story that helps you commit the route to memory. However, I'm sure there were exceptions in cases where the story included alternative destinations.
    I must assume that map making was an improvement to the system.

      Divide the world's Circumference by six and get 6,666. Divide the number of seconds in a day by 400 and get 216, 2160 is the length of an astrological age. The Moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, which is 864,000 miles wide, just like there are 86,400 seconds in a day. The planet orbits the Sun at 108,000 km/hr or 66,600 miles an hour.
      If we divide the angled side of the Pyramid (186.6 x 100 = 18,660) by 21.6 we get 863.8, plus .2 is 864. The base of the Pyramid minus the height is also Pi times 100, and Al Nitak follows Sirius past the King's Chamber in 100 minutes.
      If we divide the height by Euler's number we get the square root of Pi, times 2 is 354, the number of days in 12 lunar months.
      If we divide the diameter of the Sun by 6 we get 144,000
      The hands of our 24 hr clock go around 60 times 60 times 10, which is 36,000, the number of Arc degrees in one second times 10, which means each second is one 360th of a circle, times 100.
      This shows that the Star of David was used as a kind of calculator to devise time and do complex equations using a hexadecimal system. The Egyptian number of perfection is 100, we divide 400 by 100 to get 4, we divide 600 by 100 we get 6. 4/6 is equal to 2/3 and 3/9, all of which have a ratio of 66.666666666, by which they can divide the Horizon down to seconds, and thus navigate the globe knowing both its dimensions and be able to make accurate maps.
      86,400 ÷ 400 is 216
      216 x 2 is 432
      432 + 216 is 684
      432 x 2 is 864
      So rather than divide 864,000 by 2160, they divide 86,400 by 216, which is 400, rather than 40,000. This means a Megalithic Clock would go around 40 times, with each second broken down into tenths. 6 times 6 times 10; 3600. 400 ÷ 6 is 66.66666
      These numbers all divide into each other. Half of 216 is 108, just as the Earth orbits the Sun at 108,000 km/hr. The interior angles of a regular Pentagon are also 108, and the interior angles of a Star of David add up to 1,440, times 100 is 144,000. Half of 108 is 54.
      It takes 360 Full Moons to span the night sky Horizon to Horizon, 720 total, 72 times 3 is 216. 6 x 6 x 6 x 4 = 864
      Which means a full moon is equivalent to 300 seconds, or 5 minutes, meaning 2 Full moons per 10 minutes. This means seconds represent tenths of the Moon, a Minute (6 times 10 times 10) being 2 Full Moons or 1 degree of arc. Multiply the Moon's diameter by 18.6, the number of years in a Metonic Cyle, and get 40,175, the diameter of the Earth plus 100. 40,000 times 100 is 4,000,000, the Earth's circumference in meters.
      Multiply 18.6 by 2150 (actual diameter of the Moon) and you get 39,990, just 10 km short. This means they measured the Earth with the Orbit of the Moon, and based their metrics off of the Full Moon, cubing and squaring it to find the relationships between the heavenly bodies. Half of the Pyramid's base equals one 86,400th of the Earth's Circumference. Divide the Base by the height and get Pi. The height of the Great Pyramid times 43200 equals the Polar Circumference of the Earth.
      Also the Circumference of the Base of the Great Pyramid times 43200
      equals the Equatorial Circumference of the Earth.
      An equilateral Triangle formed within the face of the Great Pyramid is 6,666 inches along each side, it represents one half of the Star of David, 720 degrees, as above so below, so we double it, 1440 ÷ 6 is 240, the number of hours on a clock times ten. 24 being 6 x 4, combining both ratios of of Sun and Moon, hence Solomon. The Pyramid itself is Squaring the Circle, by reducing the proportions of the cosmos to squares and roots based on Phi and Pi and Euler's number as a ratio to feet, and the Star of David is what allows them to do it, like a proto Antikythera mechanism.
      I can't say if they went to hundredths of a second, because I'm not even that much of a mathematician (majician) but they definitely did tenths, and it equates to the same nautical metrics we use today.
      Enoch also buries 36,525 scrolls, the number of days in a year, times 100. Oh by the way, this shows that our current measure of time is based on the principle of 1/6, the basis of an Egyptian Royal Cubit, but first they built the first ring at Stonehenge, which is 100 metres (330 ft) wide, with an area of 2160 square feet, a Cube's interior angles also add up to.. 2160.
      This produces a Calendar of 60 6 day weeks plus five. Every 4th year a 366th day makes exactly 61 weeks. This means every 216 years this calendar produces 1 extra day, so after 648 years 3 days must be removed. This is when the Phoenix arrived, and stepped onto the Alter of Ra or Holy Grail, completing the Metonic cycle and bringing the Calendar back into sync with the first New Moon of the Spring equinox. The Capstone of the Pyramid is even called the Benben Stone, the Egyptian Phoenix is called the Bennu. It likely relates to Deneb, in Ophiuchus, the 13th Starsign of the Zodiac. The base of the Pyramid is exactly 13 Acres, as is Teotihuacan, because they share the exact same base dimensions.
      Such a location would be ideal for calculating the speed of light using the transit of Venus. Incidentally the Great Pyramid's Latitudinal coordinates are the speed of light.
      1440 ÷ 108 = 13.333333
      11 and 3 are the most sacred Celtic numbers of royalty, and also happen to be the proportions of the Earth to the Moon, and the Great Pyramid.
      The starsigns also precess 1 degree every 72 years
      72 x 3 is 216
      2160 ÷ 648 is 3.3333333
      The Aztec Calendar also begins with a double transit of Venus, in 3116BC.
      This whole code can be encoded into a single Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 666 by 630, by 216, this is the Key of Solomon, 33 is the inverse of 66.
      100 is the "perfect number" because it represents 10 6 unit metrics times 10 6 unit metrics, a unit being 6.66
      ie 60 x 60 (3600) the number of Arcdegree seconds in a second, or a one second unit on a clock the size of Earth
      This means seconds represent 10ths of the Moon; 216, or 6 x 6 x 6 (100 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 2.7): Euler's number, and the number of feet to a Megalithic Yard, 3/11 is .27 and the number of days in a sidereal month is also 27.
      11/3 is 3.66, the number of days in a Canicular leap year, the character of Thoth, Cuchulainn, and kukulkan, the Dog Star, and star by which the Sothic Calendar is determined. 3 x 11 is 33, the years in a Great Solar Return. As the Sun and Moon inhabit respective house of the Zodiac they animate the character within, playing out the dramas and battles we know as myths, for example the Moon traveling through each of the Zodiac houses each month, for a grand total of... 144 (12 x 12)

      They did to a small degree, but think more about it in terms of trading around the Mediterranean for a group of cultures. When trading happenned on the silk road, or travelling across the coast from arabia to india, it would be months and even years before the merchants recieved their goods.
      It was rare in ancient times to leave sight of the coast lines. So whilst a lot of trade happened, it would feel like slow motion in todays concept.
      Wars took years to prepare and execute. Empires last centuries. Many amalgamated, and/or were decimated after decades of fighting.
      Sea's werent really highways at all, otherwise we would have seen most of the worlds civilizations progress and develop at similar rates. But as you can see, even in the last 300 years when the pacific ocean was finally properly navigated and documented, notne of that happened. Australia was "settled" in 1788, but up until that point, aboriginals had next to no contact with other people of the world, and their culture had not progressed much further than bush living, caves, basic hunting and gathering, and small tribal communities (they never had a need to due to almost zero outside interference). This was also common with most Polynesian cultures before colonialism got to their neighbourhood.
      The above cultures thrived for thousands upon thousands of years without full scale european style warring. Which, to me, makes history and learning the timelines so interesting.

Actually, he was the brother of the kings Dom Duarte (1433-37)and Dom Pedro (during 1441-48), while regent until Dom Afonso V became king in 1448. Henry was also the Grand Master of the Order of Christ, responsible for the enterprise of the Portuguese discoveries. He established the Navigation School of Sagres and led the Portuguese effort of Discoveries until his death in 1460. As the Grand Master of the Order of Christ in Portugal, Henry the Navigator controlled extensive land holdings and wealth and had access to critical sources of revenue, including a significant share in the newly established slave trade with North West Africa to undertake the expensive enterprise of Discoveries.

    To say that Vinlandia never existed on maps is truly bogus. Portuguese, British, French, Templars, Scottish, Norse, Norse-Irish, all had their parts with sailing and ending up on the Canadian Maritimes and that of the North American Aztec empire of Atzlan. Whether there were Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, .. or the Solomon Fleet turned Templar Fleet, it is the Norse(-Irish) Saint Brendan and his 16 missionaries that sailed to North America (Canadian Maritimes and southward) in 510s. The Norse of Leif Ericsson in 1000 settled the now proven Canadian Maritimes (not of Labrador and Newfoundland) of Nova Scotia with 4 colonial settlements of Leifsbudir (Halifax fjord), Stormsfuror (Tolland, St Margarets Bay fjord), Wonderstrands (Oak Island/Chester/Western Shores (Mahone Bay fjord) and the interior Hop (Bay of Fundy area of French Port Royal and British Annapolis). Norse Vinlandia (1000-1500) shows up on mid-1450s Dutch and Venetian maps - with the Norse Empire stretching across the Canadian Maritimes, northern New England, and in as far as the later French colonial settlements of the St Lawrence Seaway of Montreal, Toronto, and the Great Lakes. The Templars (1100-1500) were also part of Old and New World sailing and shipping. Earlier Welsh Prince Madog sailed in 1187. Scottish Prince Henry Sinclair sailed in 1398. Portuguese sailors under Prince Henry Navigator sailed and discovered the Canadian Maritimes in those earliest of 1500s, settling in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. New discoveries are showing earliest British and Scottish settlement in the Mahone Bay area in the earliest of 1500s period - later followed by the Baronets of Nova Scotia (1625-1755) and final British autocracy over the Canadian Maritimes and Nova Scotia (1755-present), while the French claimed the interior lands. Vinlandia was a real extended empire of Norway, and the Vikings of Ireland, Hebrides, Orkneys, Shetlands, northern/western/eastern/southern Scotland, and the border Reeves between Scotland and England, and northern Wales.
    The Norse empire needs to be rewritten back into the history books - as it was purposefully left out in the domains of modern history - which is truly an enigmatic piece of dung write ups.

I know this is told from a European perspective, but you'd think the Muslim, Indian and Chinese had never contributed anything the way this is told.
    What this doesn't mention is that while the Europeans were grasping around in the dark since the Middle Ages trying to explore and map places, entire empires all over the world were confidently travelling seafaring and overland routes across and around the continents of the world. The Europeans had to "re-discover" everything because they ignored or wiped out that knowledge.

      Your remark about dominance and exploitation shows how profoundly you have been brainwashed by history (popular or otherwise) written from the point of view of the French Enlightenment, which blamed man's problems on religion, especially Catholicism.
      The early navigators were seeking paths to the east in order to gain wealth to be used to prevent and oppose Muslim invasions of Europe, invasions which Portugal and Spain knew all too well. With such wealth, it would be possible to finance and grow armies, navies, and cavalry fit for repelling Muslim military expansionism. Islam was not forced to stop invading Europe until its defeat at the Battle of the Gates of Vienna on September 11, 1683 (a date all serious Muslims know), and all European rulers knew Islam was a serious threat. Hence, the special interest that Portugal and Spain had in circumnavigation for the purpose of engaging in spice trade that could finance Reconquista and counterattack against an aggressive Islam that was officially opposed in the West until 1096.

    The statement (9:20) that the Polynesians had no navigational aids is unfounded. They had charts, made of fibre and beads, navigated by the constellations and could read the presence of nearby islands, over the horizon, by wave forms and birds. No need to denigrate their accomplishments in this way. They were superb, confident and experienced explorers and colonizers.

    Mapping goes back a lot further than the Sumerians. We just don't have records of it before then. Check out the Pyrie Reis maps 500 years old yet they would require satellites to produce with that accuracy. This video claims that nobody had maps in the dark ages and middle ages and yet they did. I am not sure why they would say there were no maps. Possibly the maps had to be hidden from the Church to not get in trouble(Being burned at the stake or being torchered to death in some way).

      It's certainly not a god.
      Gods are an imaginary creation in mans mind, caused by ignorance of our common ancestors. They did not have the explanations for their surroundings, didn't have the knowledge about nature as we have nowadays, not even the possibilities to find out, so they imagined a lot of (funny) things like gods. You know, bad weather when gods unhappy, earthquake when gods furious and so forth..
      The heart is a muscle that starts beating when developed enough to do so.
