Imagine trying to find your way without a map. That’s what people used to do! The first maps were like pictures of the world that helped travelers know where they were going. They showed roads, rivers, and even mountains, just like today's maps. With these early maps, sailors could follow coastlines and explore new lands with more confidence. It was like getting a road trip guide from ancient times!
Examples
