Place the technology advancements in the order in which they emerged. Tiles the first school of oceanic navigation Ptolemy’s map
rjkz [21]

Here's the order:

  1. Ptolemy's map of the world
  2. the first school of oceanic navigation
  3. 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.

nydimaria [60]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Carefully examine this photograph of a home bomb shelter. Fearing a nuclear attack, many people put these in their homes during the 1950s. What kinds of things did this homeowner think to include?

Answer:

Food, water, flashlights, batteries and some furniture that could promote minimal comfort.

Explanation:

In the 1950s, fearing possible nuclear attacks, many people invested in building bomb shelters in their homes. This would guarantee the family's survival if a bomb threat was real. However, it took more than the shelter to guarantee survival and for that reason, it was common for people to put survival items inside shelters like food, water, lanterns, batteries and some things that could guarantee a minimum of comfort such as beds, chairs , reading material, games, among others.

Why would historians prefer primary sources over secondary sources?
castortr0y [4]
Primary sources told an account of what actually happened because they were recorded from the actual event itself/saw the actual event

secondary sources (like our textbooks) arent 100% accurate because they are based off of the primary sources
