the first to made to map is

The first map, which was successfully recorded, was a clay-shaped map and burned more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt. In ancient times landowners gave boundaries with their maps. Likewise kings, if they want them to want the boundaries of their kingdom. But when people want to show places far away, on the map then they face difficulties.

This is because the shape of the earth is round and the aid is difficult to measure remotely carefully. Astronomers have helped many of these mapmakers, because of the task of this investigation and the size of the earth.

A Greek named eratosthenes, who was born in the year 276 BC, describes the distance between the earth and has been close to the truth. His method has enabled people for the first time to be right from north to south.

At about the same time Hipparchus proposed suggestions for the earth map to be divided by the imaginary lines of latitudes, longitude, and meridian lines. The position of these lines is said, so that it is based on the knowledge that has resulted from the investigation of the heavenly bodies.
