Ancient Seafaring

Topic

Ancient seafaring refers to the early history of maritime travel, navigation, and trade, dating back thousands of years to prehistoric times. It began with simple watercraft like rafts and dugout canoes, eventually progressing to advanced wooden vessels used by ancient civilizations such as the Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Austronesians. This early maritime activity laid the foundation for global trade networks, cultural exchange, and the exploration of distant lands.
