How were early geographic land maps made before the advent of modern technology?
These days they are in digital data. A cartographer will manipulate the digital data to revise them. It's possible to create site centred maps in this way.
In the past they were fair drawn and transferred onto printing plates.
To survey a map there are a range of options. Many of the maps today were created by traditional methods as shown below.
1. Stellar observations: to fix them in the right place in the world
2. Triangulation (at different precisions, depending on the size of the map): to create a framework
3. Traversing: to create control stations in populated areas.
4. Detail Survey: to add all the detail required by the map users.
Aerial surveys and GPS make life much easier today.

In what year were cornflakes invented?
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan invented Cornflakes. The story goes that Kellogg was trying to improve the vegetarian diet of his hospital patients. Whilst he was boiling wheat to try to make an easily digestible substitute for bread, Kellogg accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat to stand and become tempered. When it was put through a rolling process, the grains of wheat emerged as large, thin flakes. When the flakes were baked, they became crisp and light, creating the corn flake. He patented his product on 31 May 1884. The cornflake still had a way to go before being perfected. John Kellogg, with his brother Will Keith Kellogg, started the Sanitas Food Company to produce their whole grain cereals around 1897. The brothers argued over the addition of sugar to the cereals, so in 1906, Will started his own company called the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which eventually became the Kellogg Company.
How much is 10000 talents worth?
10,000 talents is worth about 150,000 year's wages.
Here's the calculation:
1 talent = 60 minas
1 mina = 3 month's wages
1 talent = 60 x (3 months' wages) = 180 months' wages
1 talent = 180 months' wages / 12 months in a year = 15 years' wages
1 talent = 15 years' wages
10,000 talents = 150,000 years' wages.

150,000 year's wages = 2,250,000,000
