The First Geographer
What is geography? We learn about different places, continents and countries as well as oceans, rivers, deserts or mountains on our planet. However, we do not only look at facts about nature and animals but we also learn how people live in different parts of the world, learn about different languages, cultures and different traditions. We also learn how to help our planet. The Greek scientist Eratosthenes was the first person who used the word “geography” 2,000 years ago. He is called the “Father of Geography”. Eratosthenes was the first to draw a world map. He was a mathematician, astronomer and poet. That map was different from modern maps because people did not travel much and they did not know anything about the Americas. The word “geography” consists of two Greek words which mean “earth” and “writing”. This means to draw, describe or write about the earth. The word “geographer” means a person who studies geography, the environment and people. Maps are made by geographers.
