The first known flat map is attributed to the ancient Greeks, specifically the work of Anaximander around 610-546 BCE. However, the earliest surviving map that is flat is the Babylonian World Map, known as Imago Mundi, which dates back to the 6th century BCE. This map illustrates the known world at that time and provides insight into ancient geographical understanding.

Why are there distortions on a map?
Distortions on a map occur because it is impossible to accurately represent the three-dimensional surface of the Earth on a flat plane. Different map projections prioritize different aspects, so distortions in shape, distance, area, or direction can occur when maps are created. The choice of projection depends on the purpose of the map and the area being depicted.
