The History of the Compass (Encore)

One of the most important inventions of early humanity was the compass. The compass has aided human navigation around the Earth for centuries.  Despite being a critical technology in the development of transportation, it actually took centuries between the discovery of its underlying principles and its eventual use as a practical tool for navigation.  Even though it was discovered over 2,000 years ago, compasses are still a vital tool today.  Learn more about the compass and how it helped humanity find its way on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
