@Π we don't exactly now, maybe in 100 years it will be possible, there's a theory that says that for we to reach interstellar travel, we have to exploit the 100% of our power potential in our home system, the most probable way to do so, is to make a dyson-sphere through our sun, which could be hard but really payful to do, imagine the power potential we could have, even we could make lots of investigation into techs that would be impossible without such power

Africa had diseases that were lethal for explorers so until vaccines abd medicine they didn't dare to go there.

Columbus was Italian but he was working for Spain. Italy did nothing
@@RodrigoroRex
Because Spain (Castile and Aragon) were fresh off finishing the Reconquista, were cut off from the spice trade by the Ottomans and Portugal was making steady progress to reach India by rounding Africa. Columbus was proposing his insane journey to all the great coastal Western kingdoms of Europe - those being Portugal, Castile/Aragon, England and France, as far as I'm aware - but he met the same response everywhere, which was something along these lines:
"Columbus, I'll be honest with you, Asia is fucking twice as far as you think it is and you're going to die at sea."
However, as mentioned before, Spain didn't really have a main objective anymore after conquering Granada, and, at the same time, Portugal was rising in wealth and power. So, they kept Columbus "just in case", to prevent him from going around offering it to everyone. Eventually they gathered the funds and decided to go ahead and sponsor him.
Columbus was sure to die on that journey, but he stumbled upon the Americas along the way.
Portugal discovered much more than spain, at 3:25 its still portugal’s time as it would continue to be for a long time. Spain just followed portugal, portugal didn’t stop. I guess for you Da Gama’s voyage doesn’t count. The portuguese contributed the most out of anyone in history to map making. The spanish even had to use portuguese sailors, the same thing happened with the dutch (David Melgueiro) and the english.

3:20 how one single event can change everything for ever. The capture of Constantinople and the trading routes from the Ottomans has made European powers to seek other ways to reach India and China....and that exploration affected and shaped the lives of everyone in the whole planet, for better or worse
Myth. Little long-distance trade went through Constantinople in Byzantine times. The Turks themselves were avid traders, and the best route for trade between Europe and South or East Asia was through the Mameluks. Once past the Suez isthmus the route to anywhere on the Asian coastline is all seaway. Sea transportation has long been the most economical way to get cargoes shipped over long distances . It still costs less to get a bulk cargo between Yokohama and Long Beach by sea than between Long Beach and new York City by road. The Mameluks were themselves avid traders.

Very interesting, but unfortunately we do not have enough information about their geographical knowledge. These projects could only be done hypothetically
I am sure both chinese, persians and even indians had quite a lot of records on the matter and we could create maps from their respective viewpoints .The native americans are sadly a different story. Id love to know if there were any interactions between Inca and Aztecs.

Spanish and portuguese in 1400’s: is time to explore
It should also say “from Europe’s prospective” since almost the whole wide world was inhabited by humans
We have believed that for many years, but I think this video proves that non-European peoples didn't really know about their own countries… right?
magnuslh84 well that’s where you’re wrong as ancient people like ancient Chinese were experts at map-making and geography. At the ancient times, Chinese underwent some wars and they had to creat good maps and have good understanding in geography to actually win their opponents using reliefs. And since then the Chinese kept on discovering new places like the Central Asia way earlier than Europe and had trades with them and even established colonies. So yea, Europeans aren’t the only one who knows their country or region well.
@@alfredo5721 lol. Just trying to be funny. Massive fail I guess
I mostly agree, although many of these areas didn't have mapmaking tech by the time europeans ran into them. Still, the omission of China is strange, since they definitely had early mapmaking tech.
I think that it would be wrong considering those peoples for an evolution of the world map, which couldn't end it, or which had only small impact to the final product. I think, this is considered here.

The video shows the evolution of the world map, starting with the first important known world maps we have (map of Hecataeus and follows Eratosthenes->Ptolemy->Al Idrisi etc) , so the starting point of the video is made by the image provided by the first known map.The map is subsequently expanded either based on the image provided by subsequent known maps or current known discoveries.
Ok 👍
Oh that definitely makes the video less Eurocentric 🌚
Eurocentric perspective. I will state for the record that China (Middle Kingdom) was and still is called the Middle Kingdom (native tongue). Chinese cartography has been known since the Warring States period 5-6th century BCE and improved since then. So the world map should include that. Let alone dunno if the Mayans had cartography, eventually lost to time. The world map has evolved greatly. But we should keep in mind, shared cultures & civilizations are not lost.
@@Lon1349 The ancient Chinese were so determined to be the "Middle Kingdom" that despite knowing the Roman Empire was their far-Western equivalent, they did not include it on maps. Even when explorers brought world maps from the West in the 13th century, Chinese cartographers preferred to compress the information into a thin strip along the left side of maps dominated by the Chinese Empire
Mark Snow and how does this reply help share, evolve map information and improve relationships between different cultures and civilizations?
China was it’s own geocentric civilization, same with Mayans, Aztecs, African tribes & kingdoms that should be given credit. With all culture and first encounters should manifest. Yes, first & known encounters will be minimum by comparison. But looking at a Chinese map in the 1400-1600s will update & evolve.

- Central Asia completely subjugated by Achaemenids.
- Arabian peninsula completely discovered by Achaemenids due to the Darius Canal in the Suez for having ships pass through.
- China discovered and visited by Parthians because of initial establishment of silk road.
Another possible circumnavigation of Africa became from the navigator Eudoxos of Cyzicos, but it was uncertain and it didn't incorporate in the maps.

@A's notes dont forget about the native americans
@@KalilIllinois That's pseudohistory, there are no clue's or real evidence to support this and if it were true the world would've been entirely different. The map of the America's your talking about is a "copy" made in the 19th century, of a map that "would have existed" in the 15th century, but again, no evidence to support that to be true.
And made contact with the Holy Roman Empire? What are you even talking about? The Mongols conquered Eastern Europe and ended their conquest on the borders of the Holy Roman Empire, true. They retreated due to the death of their Khan and there would be elections for a new Khan, so the leading general had to go back to the Mongolian capital, however further conquest of Europe would've been extremely unlikely as the terrain was different (more forests and mountains, unlike the Eurasian steppes where the Mongols ruled supreme, e.g. they also never invaded India and South-East Asia, as well as for the large amounts of fortifications and castles). Also note that Chinese travellers/explorers have gone to the Roman Empire and vice versa. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Bactrian_Kingdom#Contacts_with_the_Han_Empire; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Roman_relations )
But if you really think that's the "first" contact Europeans had with Chinese...
Europeans and Chinese had had indirect contact through trade (silk road), probably before 1000BC. The real first contact Europeans had with Chinese (not talking about travellers) was probably in central-Asia. After the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great (330BC) the Greeks established states in central-Asia as well as in/near India. This before the Chinese even explored central Asia. Later China explored it and a little later they also sent armies, which later conquered parts of central Asia. They further extended the great wall to protect this part of the Silk road that now came under their rule.
These Greeks had already been isolated from the rest of Europe for quite some time when the Chinese invaded.
Chinese cartography is indeed very interesting and made a lot of advancements, same for Islamic cartography. But Chinese cartography can't compare to contemporary ancient Greek mapping and especially the carthography of Europeans regions that were very dominant in naval trade e.g. Genoa, Venice, Flanders (Mercator), The Netherlands, Portugal...

I love that at this kind of videos there are some people that will ask from which perspective.
Of course it's the god damn European perspective, it's not like the Incas had famous trips to India or the Bantus did some colonisation in Panama.
"European perspective"
Roman and Greek*
@@themorebike880 Ah yes, the famous Roman perspective of the world from 1848
@@razvanalbu2104 because the incas definitely existed in the 1800s you know after the whole Spain killing them all thing
I said roman because Rome existed from 800 bce to the 1400s ad that and for a good lot of that time they were the only real people in Europe that had maps
If anything it was more of a arab-greek-roman
And later near the end half of the video a strictly russian, English, Portuguese, French, turkish, spanish point of view
@@themorebike880 and also the norse and later the Norwegian exploration of the Artic and Antartica which kinda makes it European as it has explores from every corner of the continent. You just wanted to be a little bit special, didn't you?
@@razvanalbu2104 actually it was the dutch who were discovering the north..you know the same people ruled by spain and gained independence after the 80 years war?
As for the whole vinland thing
I actually believe it shouldn't have been included same goes to Greenland for a long while
Hell Scandinavia should have taken alot longer to be discovered
As for antarctica..that was the actual people to first go in it..of course they'd include the people who first discovered it
(Sure the Maori might have discovered it but there's no evidence as of now)
But maybe you thought you were special?

Europe 1500-1900: Reverse uno card*
@A's notes Imagine actually believing that.
@A's notes That africans traveled to the Americas several times, yet when europeans arrived in Africa they didn't find any african civilization capable of doing that. The only one who might have been able to do it were the people of Madagascar.
@A's notes I heard of all those kingdoms. I never claimed there were no civilizations in Africa. Just no civilization that went to America.
I never claimed Europeans discovered Africa. Africa is literally right there. There was no real discovering to be done because those continents are literally next to each other.
I heard of the wealth of the malian king. Apparently Mali was also the first kingdom to have a university.
Anyway, the trip to america is mostly a myth.
"The ruler who preceded me did not believe that it was impossible to reach the extremity of the ocean that encircles the earth (meaning Atlantic), and wanted to reach that (end) and obstinately persisted in the design. So he equipped two hundred boats full of men, like many others full of gold, water and victuals sufficient enough for several years. He ordered the chief (admiral) not to return until they had reached the extremity of the ocean, or if they had exhausted the provisions and the water. They set out. Their absence extended over a long period, and, at last, only one boat returned. On our questioning, the captain said: 'Prince, we have navigated for a long time, until we saw in the midst of the ocean as if a big river was flowing violently. My boat was the last one; others were ahead of me. As soon as any of them reached this place, it drowned in the whirlpool and never came out. I sailed backwards to escape this current.' But the Sultan would not believe him. He ordered two thousand boats to be equipped for him and for his men, and one thousand more for water and victuals. Then he conferred on me the regency during his absence, and departed with his men on the ocean trip, never to return nor to give a sign of life."
-Quote from " Al-Umari".
However, I know you are one of those afrocentrists. You try to claim literally any kind of history for yourself. Even european history. You lost so badly in the game on this earth that all you have left is to steal other peoples achievments. Everything was black. European nobles were black, vikings were black. You people make me sick. The time hasn't ended yet. Black people should look to the future and make a name for themselves intead of looking to the past where there was little hope. The age of us europeans is coming to an end if we don't change soon. The asians are soon to be the dominant power on this earth and what comes after is for you to decide.
@A's notes Wouldn't call ship crews slaves dude. Why would you ever bring gold and slaves to a place you wouldn't know existed?
Besides, theres even a theory that romans reached the americas, too.
But thats just because artifacts similar to roman culture were found but couldn't be specified completely.
Es extraño imaginar lo que pensaba y sentía la gente de hace mucho tiempo al mirar el océano, algo asi como "vaya, seguramente hay mucho por descubrír" y sentir frustración por saber que su vida no seria suficiente para saber que había mas allá de ese océano.
Creo que sería algo similar con lo que sentimos hoy nosotros al no poder conocer si existe vida en otro planeta, y posiblemente nunca lo sabremos :(.
translate for lazy ppl:
It is strange to imagine what people from long ago thought and felt when looking at the ocean, something like "well, surely there is much to discover" and feel frustrated to know that his life would not be enough to know that there was beyond that ocean.
I think it would be something similar with what we feel today when we cannot know if life exists on another planet, and possibly we will never know

Incredible how, even with so much of the world being unknown, by the 2nd Century the Greeks showed scientifically the world was a sphere.
Correction: 3rd Century BC
yeah, the man that proved this was called Eratosthenis, even if that from the 6th century bc another greek scientist called Aristarchos was saying that the earth is round.
@@tony_greece8065 Yeah ur right
The phoenicians knew it at 1000BC because they watched ships sail over the horizon. Eratosthenes accurately calculated the radius of the earth using shadows, but at the time not many people believed him because they though the world was much smaller than it really is
@@masterspark9880 There were many many people before the western Europeans that knew the earth was a globe (and proved that scientifically as well). Still they depict Galileo as "the one" that discovered the earth was round.

"Evolution of the World Map"
Comments section: "why aren't civilizations that didnt make geographic maps included"
Lol, besides for maybe China. Native American societies didnt make geographic maps. Theres no reason to believe the Mayans or Aztecs had any idea the shape of the American continent's because they didnt make any maps of them
Yeah, this wouldn't be possible without detailed mapmaking and documentation, preserving said documentation, and sharing the learnings.
The world map would not exist without the collaboration of dozens of civilizations, hundreds of nations, and millions of people across thousands of years.
@Lorenzo Maria Martini They are already included in the video.
@@TamaraWiens Arabs are in the video, geographical maps of South Asia were first made by European/Middle Eastern cartographers, Chinese perspective would be very similar in the beginning, but they never continued to progress, much like their civilisation (that would be better served as its own video), and Japanese did not have an independent cartography anyhow. For its purposes, to show the linear evolution of the oldest world maps to the present one, the video is fine as is.
they thought of it as a turtle island, like a literal giant turtle. All native american languages call them turtle island.

See the world exploration from the eyes of a tribe in the Amazon forest? Here the matter is who had the greatest amount of knowledge simultaneously regarding the widest range of areas and continents, and european have done it in a way that said knowledge managed to be cumulative, building piece by piece something that can be called a proper world map (check what's a portolano).

EDIT: yes I know India did give quite a contribution in some regards and was commercially important for things like spices and such, I was just forcing a meme in...

Kinda ironic cuz India contributed to metallurgy, Medicine from herbs(Ayurveda),Surgery techniques,way of living,Yoga,Astronomy,spirituality for good mental health,spices etc:
( I don't know what else they gave to the world, so these are the only ones I could name)
medicine, science and spices were always booming in india tbh
This video is very interesting, from my perspective I think that Europe, Asia and Africa are the 3 most known continents since humanity appeared on Earth and America, Oceania and Antarctica was more "unknown" or "unexplored" lands until some centuries ago
except for the natives
Even for them, human life began in Africa, America and Antarctica were the last continents to be discovered

The random discovery lines under South America in the left and to the Philippines in the right is Magellan's route to finding the Spice Islands in *1521* which after his death, took another route back to Spain going from the Philippines to the west of Africa.
Bruh imagine how much fun this was for those people. I wanna explore aswell!
Not fun at all, imagine that the sea route to Índia, discovered by the Portuguese, took more than 1 year with GPS, lack of supplies, several enemies, desease and natural disasters...not fun, not fun...
Not fun for the natives though who had to deal with colonization because of being "discovered."
@@natt07048 That is not discovery, that is conquest…
"Born too late to discover continents, born just right in time to explore planets"- Some dude in the comments of this video
Since the moon landing technology sky rocketed, last year I think it was actually proved that you could build a warp engine that can travel at the speed of light meaning we could reach proxima centauri in just 4 years since light takes that time to reach proxima centauri and since this warp bubble travels at the speed of light that means we can reach mars in less than a year. Technology is evolving a lot and every child born could be the next scientist to make another fabolous discovery, the population is increasing meaning technological discoveries are increasing too. I'm pretty sure in 100 we will have made A LOT of technological advancements and a human will have reached mars, we would also have discovered aliens probably and life span will also increase by some years. Dont worry bud, if you live just enough time to see human inventing a way to live forever im pretty sure you'll be able to explore planets, in 1000 years there are probably going to be space explorers who just explore planets and then we can explore the planets them selves, don't worry bud, I'm pretty sure we'll get to see how humanity advances.

@Abc def nope
@Abc def nah
It’s not exactly like the Chinese and Africans were great explorers and made bold discoveries. They didn’t really have maps either, so of course it’s going to be the western viewpoint.
its really amazing how many coastlines are still undiscovered.
Respect and thanks for all sailors who risk their life to discover world. Without them we wouldnt know about other continents.
Yup, most of the sea routes were discovered by portugueses sailors, Newfoundland, Canada, Brasil, the all African coast, the sea route to Índia, the sea route to China and Japan, Indonésia, Madagáscar and even Austrália. There is a Portuguese poem that says"oh sea, how much of your salt are tears from Portugal". That resums all...

People in the comments complaining about the "Europe POV".
Because Europeans were explorers ... The rest they did not explore the world and did not have the curiosity of Europeans. Chinese civilization was very advanced indeed but they did not care much about the world outside Asia. Same for the Japanese civilization. The African civilization(s) just occupied not more than South Europe at some point.
Europeans were the most active civilization(s) in history from a world wide point of view.

Do mention from European perspective. Just because you people didn’t see the other regions do not mean people didn’t know about these places.
I agree, the fact that this is not included in the title of the video is very Eurocentric and thus an unwilling instrument of systemic historical racism. Please edit the video title to absolve this issue.

Proud of Portugal, a poor country which discovered India, many places in Asia, Africa, America and many islands in the world, and turned the best one.
poor??
Excellent work!
How about a video about expansion of Homo sapiens? From Africa to Asia and Europe and eventually Australia and the Americas? Then again, few lands have really been first settled in the last 10 thousand years or so: the deep Pacific (Polynesia and NZ), Madagascar, the Atlantic and sub Antarctic islands, and both polar regions... so maybe at real time scale the end would be a little boring?
It seems important to me to point out that this map only fits the vision of the Europeans, because of course, from the perspective of an Arab, a Chinese or a Polynesian, the perspective would be completely different. To make it better understood, this only shows a version that is not absolute at all.
Right, and people are saying it’s because Europeans were the only ones to sail around the world when Polynesians were crossing the Pacific Ocean hundreds of years before Columbus was born
@@bruh-lg6ch Polynesians were great navigaters but they never accurately mapped the oceans like the Europeans. Not saying there feats weren't impressive, but they just lacked technological advances to explore at the rate Europeans did.
No kidding?
Europeans were the first culture that discovered and travelled the entire world
Diferent, yes but were Europeans the 1st to teach them, not the contrary...
Sailing the open ocean with mystery all around is so exiting but also dangerous which I love 😍
