Why is north always up on maps?
Polaris, the "North Star", is above the North Pole and was used by navigating sailors as the reference point for keeping direction. The earliest mapmakers that made their maps global were Europeans who apparently intended to make Europe the center-top of the map, placing the "less developed" continents below them. Thus, mapmakers eventually came to the consensus of placing north at the top, beginning in the era of Ptolemy. This, however, was not always so. The South Pole could just as well have been the top. Some sources say that Egyptians saw south as "up" (before the existence of magnetic compasses, of course). This makes sense because every winter noon-time, the sun was high up in the southern sky. Not only that, but Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta are "down north"; Upper Egypt and Nubia's heights are "up south", from which Egypt's source of life (the Nile River) flows. Egyptians had every reason to believe south to be "nearest the heavens." East Asian and Ancient Near East maps originally placed east at the top, because the sun rises in the east. We're not told whether the Hebrews used east-up maps like did their neighbors, or west-up due to Jerusalem's Temple and the Promised Land. The human figure was the floor plan to the Temple, with its "feet" east and its "head" (the Holiest Place) west. Plus, the whereabouts of the Israelites upon entering the Promised Land was like that of the sun in the sky: progressively westward. So west may very well have been "up" according to Israel. The USA has map-tops seldom ever a direction other than north. But various other nations across the globe (e.g. Japan) generally align maps on signs according to which direction is forward (while looking at the sign). It is actually more convenient that way than making every map north-up.
