The compass arrived in Europe from China, where it was first developed during the Han Dynasty (around the 2nd century BC) for divination purposes. By the 11th century, the magnetic compass became an essential navigational tool for Chinese mariners. It reached Europe through trade routes, particularly via the Silk Road, and was adopted by European navigators by the late 12th century, significantly enhancing maritime exploration.
