Cartography, the art and science of map-making, has evolved significantly throughout history. Ancient civilizations like the Babylonians and Greeks produced some of the earliest maps, with notable figures such as Ptolemy contributing to a more systematic approach in the 2nd century AD. The Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries spurred advancements in cartography, as explorers like Columbus and Magellan provided new geographical information. The invention of the printing press further revolutionized map distribution, leading to a wider availability of maps and greater geographical awareness during the Renaissance.

What were the events that linked the Boston massacre at the Boston tea party?

They weren't linked. The only thing is they both happened in Boston and were years apart. The Boston Massacre was spun by Paul Revere in hand bills to create distrust between the colonies and the British. The events we think we know for the massacre and the tea party are NOT what really happened. Watch the history channel program on the Boston Massacre in the series unknown history.

Where can one find photography of history?

If you want to find some really great pictures of historical events, visit your local library and see if there are any back issues of Life Magazine or National Geographic. Those magazines have a lot of great pictures. Of course you can view images on Wikipedia, according to different events, but it can be a fun experience going to the library.
