Ancient people used cool ways to send messages over long distances. Imagine you're on a mountain and you want to tell someone far away what's happening, you might light a fire and make smoke! That’s like sending a message in the sky. Some even used birds or horses to carry letters from one place to another, just like a mail service.
Examples
- A messenger bird flew from one city to another with an important message.
- A runner ran all day to deliver a letter between two faraway towns.
