Polytheism (from Greek πολυθεϊσμός, polytheismos) is the worship of or belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religions and rituals. In most religions which accept polytheism, the different gods and goddesses are representations of forces of nature or ancestral principles, and can be viewed either as autonomous or as aspects or emanations of a creator deity or transcendental absolute principle (monistic theologies), which manifests immanently in nature (panentheistic and pantheistic theologies).[1] Most of the polytheistic deities of ancient religions, with the notable exceptions of the Ancient Egyptian[2] and Hindu deities, were conceived as having physical bodies.
Polytheism is a type of theism. Within theism, it contrasts with monotheism, the belief in a singular God, in most cases transcendent. Polytheists do not always worship all the gods equally, but they can be henotheists, specializing in the worship of one particular deity. Other polytheists can be kathenotheists, worshiping different deities at different times.
Polytheism was the typical form of religion during the Bronze Age and Iron Age up to the Axial Age and the development of Abrahamic religions, the latter of which enforced strict monotheism. It is well documented in historical religions of Classical antiquity, especially ancient Greek religion and ancient Roman religion, and after the decline of Greco-Roman polytheism in tribal religions such as Germanic paganism or Slavic paganism.
Important polytheistic religions practiced today include Chinese traditional religion, Hinduism, Japanese Shinto, Santeria, and various neopagan faiths.

Explanation:
Here's the order:
- Ptolemy's map of the world
- the first school of oceanic navigation
- Portuguese caravels with triangular sails
Details:
Ptolemy (ca. 100-150 AD) was an astronomer, mathematician and geographer in the Roman Empire era. Ptolemy's map of the world was a map based on descriptions in Ptolemy's book, <em>Geography, </em>which dates back to around the year 150 AD.
Prince Henry the Navigator started the first school for oceanic navigation at Sagres, Portugal, for training in navigation, map-making, and science. The date of founding of the school (and even full details about it) are a bit uncertain, but it seems to have been established in about 1418. Prince Henry was called "The Navigator" because of his strong support for sending out ocean exploration voyages.
Caravels were developed by the Portuguese around the middle of the 15th century (around 1450). These more agile ships were better suited to ocean sailing than previous ship models used in the calmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
