Description

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.
