Early Maps

Today in class we talked about the earliest map of the world. Personally, I believe that map was relatively amazing for the time period that it was created in. Even though Ptolemy wasn't spot on, he did really well for piecing together what others had showed him, and what he had learned from his own explorations. We also saw a picture of a map that represented islands. I thought this was really cool because not only was it different from any other map we usually see, it was three dimensional! Most maps that we see in this time and age are two dimensional with a few exceptions. I thought that looking at these maps was really cool, and I hope that the rest of the course is fun too.
