Discoverers Web: Exploration in the Medieval period
The first few centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire have been called the 'dark ages', and at least from the point of view of the history of discovery this is not without reason. Not only were few if any new routes opened in this period, even the existing ones came in disuse. Trade between various regions of Europe became less. The first voyages to be made again, were pilgrimages, to Rome and the Holy Land. Later, but still well before the end of the first millennium, trade routes were renewed - first within the Mediterranean, later also on the Atlantic and Baltic. [eng]

EARLY NAVIGATION METHODS
When a sailor departs port and loses sight of land, he must have some method of determining his direction. Early captains relied on nature to provide the answers. We all know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. A rising sun on the left-hand side of the ship, for example, meant it was sailing south. At night, the pilot could view the Pole or North Star. [eng]
