They navigated by the sun, moon, stars, and landmarks.

This has happened more recently than you suppose.
In the early Antarctic expeditions, which were in the 20th century, there were no maps ("Terra Incognita") and obviously compasses were useless as well.

As well, the South Pacific islanders, especially the Polynesians, always navigated by stars, ocean currents, and other natural signs. They were, and are, remarkable navigators.

This is the name for a category of trade barriers that a country may impose on another country or countries.

Flauer [41]

These are all matching questions
1. Sanction. Countries may place restrictions between each other if they can not come to an agreement that benefits both.
2. Embargo. Example- The U.S. and Cuba have had an embargo. Neither country will trade with the other.
3. Quota. This allows only a certain amount of a product to come into a place. This may be a good thing if a substance is illegal or if the substance or product could somehow be used for the wrong reasons.
4. Subsidy. Sometimes the government will help farmer's by giving them money to plant certain crops. This helps both the economy and the farmer.
5. (Protective)Tariff
6. Boycott. People could boycott a store, if they do not agree with company's beliefs. An example would be Target allowing Transgenders into women's restrooms.
