Since the beginning of time man has felt a need to investigate and describe his surroundings. In clay and sand and on pieces of wood, cortex, bone, skin, shell, palm leaf, etc. Different primitive people have independently produced primitive, however, still surprisingly good maps. Subsequently the mapping methods have become more and more advanced in step with the development and technological conquests of the communities. In this article the maps and mapping of selected ages are presented. At the same time it is attempted to link the maps partly to the technology of the age in question and partly to contemporary events.Since the beginning of time man has felt a need to investigate and describe his surroundings.
