ritus Of Abdera, about 100 years aft

drew new map, giving the world an

The first application of astronomy to
geography was made by Pytheas Of
Marsellles about 1926 B. c., he having
made the first observation OF latitude.
Hipparchus Of Nicaea, 1862 B. c., first
determined latitude and longitude.
Marinus of Tyre, about 150 b. G., was
the first to make use Of Hipparchus'
teachings In representing the countries
of the world.
Claudius Ptolemy Of Potassium, Egypt,
about 1G2 A. d., was In reality the first
scientific mapmaker. Notwithstanding
errors In boundaries and locations, the
method was correct. The Romans
