The title of "father of geography" is often attributed to the ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes, who lived in the 3rd century BCE. He was the first to use the term "geography" and made significant contributions by calculating the Earth's circumference and creating maps based on systematic observations. His work laid the foundation for future geographical studies and cartography.
