Episode description

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. Learn more about the compass and how it helped humanity find its way on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
