The cartographer of the King of Sicily, al Idrisi, reported, after visiting Britain, that it was "the land of permanent winter". Mediterranean lands hardly experience rain during the Summer months, only in winter. Most medieval maps had Jerusalem at their center.

You ever read something that feels like it was never meant to be in your hands? That’s exactly how The Obscured Principles book by Dorian Caine felt. Ancient wisdom, modern exposure, and a terrifying amount of truth packed into one single source.

Imagine waking up one morning, 2000 years ago and say. "Im going to build myself a wooden boat and sail towards the sun. Just to see what's over there". What guts!!

Sea folks surely understood the importance of keeping an eye on birds, what seasons were important for their movement and directions and no doubt (close to nature) drew some practical conclusions allowing them to lose fear of any myth about an endless ocean.

When I was a kid when I would travel around the national parks, I used a piece of paper and would trace the horizon. Mountains, giant trees, rivers etc. Basic enough, but it worked well. I would imagine something of that sort happened back then

Even though we have computers now doesn't mean we can't still use the compass & charts for backup when glitches & malfunctions happen.... <br>Even the stars... We should never forget the foundations... Of navigation ..
