How were property lines known / created back in the old days when huge lots of land were owned / claimed?
In: 89
Well it depends on which old days you’re referring to. Probably the most ancient way of establishing borders is via bodies of water, followed some centuries later by building walls. Eventually Pythagoras came along and discovered triangulation which allowed for accurate cartography. You can use the tops of two mountain peaks and a sextant to figure out where you are pretty accurately.
