The oldest globe, 5 10 years old, was found in Florence, Italy, and was made of these two ostrich eggs. This world-famous globe was born in 1504, and its birth process is even more amazing. It was carefully carved by two German artists with two embedded ostrich eggs. These two ostrich eggs are intertwined, showing the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth.

Reliable records about making globes were first seen in the poems of Aratus, an ancient Greek poet in the 3rd century BC. The earliest existing globe is German geographer Martin? Made in Behaim, now in the British Library.

However, only China Map Publishing House and Planet Map Publishing House have independent intellectual property rights to publish globes in China. Therefore, if you buy a globe without a detailed description of the core information, there is definitely something wrong.
