all wrong, vikings reached Queenlands only with no firmly evidence.

Columbus - Compass By the time Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic with two caravels and a carrack, navigators were old hands at using the Chinese compass to orient themselves. Early compasses were a lodestone (natural earth magnet) attached to a disc floating in liquid or balanced on a central pin.

The compass later came into common use in the west during the 14th century AD. This led to what is now known as the Age of Exploration where major European powers started further exploration of the World including North and South America. While the compass was just one of the devices that brought about this golden age of exploration it played an important part in bring it to pass. Even now modern navigation still relies on compasses and the more accurate maps they helped to develop.

no dude.. YOU ARE WRONG

the fact is, archeological evidence PROVED vikings were in americas during the 10th century, they used to travel between americas and norse land but had trouble with the indigenous population so went back home... read up on history.

they found norse artifacts in the americas!! they also found settlements of norse origin in some places...

a scientist also was interested in icelanding gene history etc..found in iceland, one woman who's been dead 1,000 years , they tested the dna and it the dna sequence was that which can only be found in asians/american indians etc... and since asians had no contact with vikings/norse in those days it can only be linked to it being a native american taken back to iceland 500 years before colombus even arrived in americas lol

In my opinion, you can't really claim an invention like a compass and the benefits it has done...................Chinese, mesopotamians, vikings, Indians and polynesians, all invented the compass on their own without foreign knowledge, which benefited lots of people in their own community........................Thus compass is a type of "collective invention" and can't really claimed by anyone nation.........

use of matsya-yantra a machine for finding direction. It had an iron fish floating in oil and always pointed north is mentioned as fitted on one of the ships from india to java. The constrution is mention in very early books like kashyapa samhita.

Even arabs did not know about this. They used to use a string technique to find direction.

very true... and before chinese invented the compass, the greeks, phoenecians, and others, used to navigate with the sun and stays, and they made some very long voyages

 

[Ulysses]

the COMPASS was probably fake




in all fairness.... we Americans love history and admire Ancient Chinese Civilization and honor/respect all inventions that came from China...

It's to bad the current Chinese government is not worthy to praise..

The magnetic Compass was first invented by the Greeks who tied a type of stone found in Greece with a rope or thread which alinged itself to the Magnetic North Pole.This stone lateron went to be known by the name of Magnet.

(This is a fact which you are taught while studying Air Nav)

Chinese Inventions

At present, according to Kreutz, "barring the discovery of new evidence, it seems clear the first Chinese reference to" the compass "antedates any European mention. This is countered by evidence of the temporal proximity of the Chinese navigational compass (1117) to its first appearance in Europe (1190) and the common shape of the early compass as a magnetized needle floating in a bowl of water.[8]

and one more how about paper, no chinese paper, where is europe modern civilization, no europe, where is usa??

one more how about Gun Powder Gun Powder, Gun, Cannon, Rocket, Tank, Steel, Landmine, Paper, Compass, Printing all are invented by Chinese.

Some people often claim West are superior based on "their" inventions. But as this Discovery Channel documentary shows, Europeans merely copied many inventions that originated in China.

Compassed was invented by Chinese 2000 years ago, no compass, Europeans couldn't arrive and discover North America, no China, no USA

The first person recorded to have used the compass as a navigational aid was Zheng He, a Chinese from China, who made seven ocean voyages between 1405 and 1433. About the 12 - 15th century, through trading, the technology spread to Arabia and then reached Europe.

Columbus - Compass By the time Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic with two caravels and a carrack, navigators were old hands at using the Chinese compass to orient themselves. Early compasses were a lodestone (natural earth magnet) attached to a disc floating in liquid or balanced on a central pin.

The compass later came into common use in the west during the 14th century AD. This led to what is now known as the Age of Exploration where major European powers started further exploration of the World including North and South America. While the compass was just one of the devices that brought about this golden age of exploration it played an important part in bring it to pass. Even now modern navigation still relies on compasses and the more accurate maps they helped to develop.

geez u really do have a low IQ

it says CAME INTO COMMON USE, which means it was very widely used... however, europeans had the compass for between 400 to 500 years before it was commonly used for ship navigation.
