Question

Long ago why did people fear to travel long distances?​

Answer 1

HEY MATE

people were  afraid of travelling long distances in one direction because

they thought they might reach the end of the world where they might fall straight into hell

or fall of something like a cliff

or they may never return

or  they may be attacked or held captive by some sort of creature

or probably it was because of religious rules where crossing the seas is like a taboo

or probably they were too scared to explore due to fear of their lives

and they didn't have good technology(lifeboats,ships,compass,maps)

and rumors about the sea scared them 

HOPE IT HELPS!
