Answer 2

2000 years

Greeks took to prepare correct world maps using imaginary lines 2000 years.

• It was difficult to precisely prepare these lines, and it took nearly 2000 years to obtain the right longitudes and latitudes. However, travellers and sailors found that using these two lines to locate locations on maps helped them to orient their voyage in the direction of their destinations.
• The first world map is credited to Greek scholar Anaximander, who lived in the sixth century BC. According to legend, Anaximander thought that Earth was shaped like a cylinder, with mankind inhabiting the flat top.
• Yes, the way that maps are used today has evolved from the past. While modern maps serve a variety of functions, the Greeks' world map was really created to establish maritime trade routes. A map created by the Greeks was based on an illustration found in some of the oldest records still in existence.
• Since it is simpler for them to create maps from their point of view, maintaining themselves in the centre, the mapmakers or cartographers centre their own nation.
