"Saved by an Indian Maiden"

"The story begins when Smith and two English companions are ambushed by Indians. After killing his two companions, the Indians take Smith to their chief, Powhatan. After two months in captivity, Powhatan determines to have the Englishman clubbed to death in a ritual ceremony. According to Smith, the plan is thwarted only when the chief's daughter, Pocahontas (then aged 11 or 12), throws herself between him and his attackers causing her father to relent. Smith published his account of the incident in 1624. It is the only description of the event we have and some historians doubt its authenticity. However, the account permanently etched his name in American folklore."

Early mapmakers faced many problems with making maps that they do not face today. Write a response explaining the problems and h
Hoochie [10]

The early mapmakers really had it very hard to create a proper map, as they didn't had any of the modern technology that nowadays we do. They had to rely on their orientation in the space, be able to properly adjust the distances, using only their eyes and brains. Also, they were putting into the maps areas that were told and described by them by people that were there, but they personally haven't even seen the place. The knowledge they had about the size of the world was very limited, as they were not really able to travel that much during their lifetime.

Their interpretation is usually relatively good and relatively accurate considering the circumstances. Of course there were some misjudged distances and proportions, but not by far. Since they only new so much of the world, they usually were making the map, thus the size of the world, from the eastern most location they new, to the westernmost location they new, either putting straight lines like that is the end of the world, or putting waters to mark the same.
