Video Overview
Script: Imagine a world where sailors navigated by stars alone. Then came the compass, a game-changer. In ancient China, lodestones, naturally magnetized rocks, were used for divination. But someone noticed they pointed north. This simple observation transformed travel forever. By the 11th century, Chinese navigators used these lodestones to guide their ships. The compass spread to Europe, revolutionizing exploration and trade. It was the silent force behind the Age of Discovery. Today, we take GPS for granted, but it all began with a rock that pointed north.
