Maps have been used for navigation since ancient times, first created by the Babylonians and further developed by the Greeks and Muslims. They allowed for exploration, trade between lands, and the spread of knowledge about geography. While early maps were crude representations, cartography advanced over the centuries to include new discoveries and understanding of the spherical Earth. Today, maps continue to be vital tools for navigation, from paper maps to digital maps on phones that provide routing and location services. Maps have evolved greatly but remain as important as ever for helping people find their way.

PAGE 1 : The creation of the first actual map originated
from Babylonia but was adopted by Muslims in the 15 century. Maps have been used so much threw out time. The map is an invention that was used to travel around the world. People are only able to trade their goods because maps were made.
Page 2: Maps are still used in modern-day like Ubers, google
maps, and on posters. Maps usually tell a person where to travel on a compass which Muslims also adapted. Maps were used for boats, jets, cars, and many other transportation systems. The map is a piece of paper that shows where your destination is and the way to get there. PAGE 3: Maps were created by a Greek academic called Anaximander in the 6th century. It wasn't very well mapped because it was based on if the Earth was shaped like a cylinder still the very first map made. However, there are many different maps that are showing different areas, for instance, Anaximander wasn’t the first inventor of trade routes on the maps. Neither was his map up to date. As Muslims adapted his creation and made many other up-to-date maps. The first map was made a century before the Islamic Golden Age. PAGE 4: The map was an invention that has been used the day it's been created and is still being used today. This is because the importance of the map is significant. One example is that 23.4 million people already have the app “google maps” which is a map that's on your phone you can also see the route to your destination. Google maps keep track of almost every street so you can find your destination. Maps throughout time have evolved by so much. For instance, the first few maps only used compasses to direct the route. However, this has changed over the years in 150 BC they started using latitude and longitude and with more knowledge of the world like now knowing that the world is shaped like a sphere. As modern-day maps, you can pull out your phone search up your destination and you can just drive there. Maps are very important because they help you navigate someplace you couldn’t locate before, for example, try finding the nearest Walmart without technology. PAGE 5: Maps used back then were used more back then because the merchants and traders have to travel around with a map. Pirates also used maps. Maps were used during the Islamic Golden age by helping Muslims trade their materials and more. Maps have involved a lot as you can see from an old sacred crumpled up paper to now thing anyone can pull up on a device. Page 6: Maps are so important being able to show routes and give people navigation to stuff they can’t locate. Like maps then were used for trading and finding islands and other countries, but now used to find a restaurant for ubers. People today are still using maps and this is because maps were one of the most important inventions in the world.
