The History of the Compass

One of the most important inventions of early humans was the compass. The compass has aided human navigation around the Earth for centuries. 

Despite being a critical technology in the development of transportation, it actually took centuries between its discovery of its underlying principles and its eventual use as a practical tool for navigation. 

Despite their origins over 2,000 years ago, they are still a vital tool today.
