People started drawing maps long ago, like when they were kids! At first, maps looked like doodles, simple pictures of the land and sea. One of the oldest maps was made by people in Mesopotamia using clay tablets. They drew rivers, mountains, and cities to help remember where things were. It was like a treasure map for their world.
Examples
