*Why is North always at the top of the map?*
In this eye-opening YouTube Short, we dive into the surprising history behind a tiny detail we see every day but rarely question — the orientation of our world maps. Most people assume North is on top because of science or logic, but the real reason lies in old navigation habits, European mapmaking traditions, and historical standards that shaped the way we see the world today.

This video explains how ancient civilizations had completely different directions on top, how early explorers influenced modern mapping, and why the global standard eventually settled on “North Up.” If you love geography facts, history, curious explanations, or content that makes you think differently about everyday things, this short is made for you.

Watch till the end to discover how maps could have looked totally different — and why North being “up” is more tradition than truth.
