Explanation:

  • Anaximander, a Greek intellectual, is credited with creating the first globe map in the 6th century BC. He was a Thales' pupil.
  • According to legend, Anaximander thought the Earth was formed like a cylinder, with mankind inhabiting the flat top half.
  • This notion is represented in replicas of Anaximander's map, and it is apparent that Anaximander's comprehensive grasp of world geography was lacking.
