compass
The first compass was invented in ancient China during the Han Dynasty, around the 2nd century BC. It was a simple device made from magnetite, a naturally magnetized mineral, and a floating piece of lodestone pointing north-south.
The first literary reference to magnetism was the 4th century BCE in China.
Lodestone was first discovered in Mgnesia, Greece
China's First Emperor was created in 2008.
In China in 1960

People first knew about magnetite and lodestone.
A sheperd named magnes stood on a certain black rock. When he tried to move he felt some thing tug at his feet it was a lodestone. they say magnes was the first person to find magnetsim and they named them after him.
The first magnetic material discovered was lodestone, a naturally occurring form of magnetite. Lodestone has been used since ancient times for its magnetic properties, such as its ability to attract iron.
The first digital device is created by Andrew Kay in 1954
they were made of magnetite and always will be
Lodestone, also known as loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets, that attract pieces of iron. Ancient people first discovered the property of magnetism in lodestone. Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could turn, were the first magnetic compasses. Lodestone is one of only two minerals that is found naturally magnetized; the other, pyrrhotite, is only weakly magnetic.
