They even made a film about it in 2000; 'Longitude'

[benhur]

You can do it with sand clocks they are accurate enough to make a very accurate measurement

[Myrzghe]

People were mapping the world like crazy before the problem of longitude was solved.

[dudejoe]

Ok, that's WILD if true. Its life the past was more futuristic than we thought. And if that's true, than we are the post-apocalyptic civilization.

[androssteague]

Information and technology was hard to pass around in those times. Maybe someone invented the chronometer earlier than when dated but never shared that technology with societies until later on.

[anthonyhooker]

Can no one find thise really old maps, pop round Piri Reises attic!

[suilegew]

Well, the ancient Greeks developed longitude system about 200 years BC. That means, they had a way of measuring them. Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean people were living in a cave

[davidconlee]

Many people still know what longichude and latichude are

[Thorrnn]

Or more likely Before the last ice age

[richardearle]

The antikatherium mechanism of I'm spelling it correctly. The ancient Romans particularly, but I think it could have been Egyptian in origin. Found on a ship in the ocean it is one of the proofs of ancient technology and they were smarter than we thought.

[duaneweaver]

What is the timeframe does he considers the "last ice age"?

[abderezaq]

Nooo stop lying the whole world waited for the European's to make those advancements 😅😅😅

[Zu]

Thank goodness India was once able to see the world from above to share this information.

[DeezyWall]

Fck im German and dont know what hes saying, but it looks very intersxting haha

[christianalthoff]

Because the fantasy writer has all the answers. Sure.

[GalileosTelescope]

“… maps which are extremely hard to explain…”
Translation: “The perfectly reasonable explanations generally accepted by historians don’t suit my theory so I won’t accept them.”

[null]

This is bullshit. You don't need navigation to draw map. You can do it from land.

[jubhgioubgob]

You mean European sea farers couldn't.

The Arabs had accurately mapped the world, albeit upside down, very accurately way before the 18th century and perhaps others too.

We struggle to throw away our narratives stemming from Eurocentricism even when we're trying to.

[paramrekhi]

And how do you know they are truly based on older source maps?
