I was always wondering how the ancient people (Greeks, Romans, Phenicians, Persians) drew maps with such accuracy. For example the curves of the Italian Peninsula, etc. Apparently, they did not have areal views.

you dont need an areal view. Just a compass, a measuring tape, a protractor, a plumb bob, and a basic understanding of geometry. With this, you can create an accurate map from the ground.
That being said, the ancient maps were really really bad https://allthatsinteresting.com/ancient-world-maps
