Definition of Surveying
1 Surveying is the science or art of making suchmeasurements as are necessary to determine therelative position of points above, on, or beneath the
surface of the earth, or to establish such points.(Breed, Hosmer, and Bone)
2 Surveying is the art of measuring horizontal
and vertical distances between objects, of measuringangles between lines, of determining the direction oflines, and of establishing points by predeterminedangular and linear measurements. (Davis, Foote,
Anderson, and Mikhail)3

Brief History of Surveying
As far back as 4000 BC, the Babylonians were already
making records of land ownership on clay tabletswhich contained measurements of the land and thesignature of the surveyor.
They already have a standard unit of length Sexagesimal system was in use.

Early Surveying Units
The link (7.92 inches). The fathom (5.5 feet). The rod/ perch (3 fathoms or 16.5 feet).
The chain (66 feet). The furlong or furrowlong (660 feet) The mile (5280 feet or 1760 yards). The league (3.125 miles or 16500 feet...also 198000 inches, 25000
links, 3000 fathoms, 1000 rods/ perches, 250 chains, 25 furlongsor furrowlongs).
Early standards of length were based on body measurements.The cubit was the distance from elbow to finger tip, while thefoot, palm and finger units are self-explanatory.

Clay tablet from ~3,100 BCshowing how Babylonianlandowners kept accounts.
The face of the tablet isdivided into five fields, eachreferring to a single parcel of
agricultural land.
Inside each field aresymbols giving surfacemeasurements of the parcels.

Brief History of Surveying

Around 2780 BC, pyramidsin Egypt were constructedusing standard units ofmeasurement and simpledevices for setting out theconstructions.
Ancient Egyptian surveyors were calledharpedonapata(rope-stretcher).
They used ropes and knots, tied at pre-determinedintervals, to measure distances.

The 3-4-5 triangle (later formalized by Pythagoras) wasdiscovered to give a right angle easily by using a ropeknotted at distances of 3,4 and 5 units (as above) andshaped (stretched) to form a triangle with a knot at each
corner (vertex).

The Earliest Surveying Instrument:
The Plumb Bob The observation that a heavy object hanging from a string causes
the string to hang perpendicular to the earth is easily made.
By 2600 BC, we know the Egyptians had taken this concept and
created the earliest surveying instruments: the plumb board, theA-Level, T-Level and plumb square.
This was the first use of the plumb bob, against a wood framethat paralleled the surface being measured.
The worker could then make a more precise visual judgment asto the trueness of plumb or horizontal level.
These earliest bobs were stone and their shape, although oftenegg-like, really didn't matter. These simplest of tools remained
virtually unchanged for the next 4400+ years.

An Early Instrument for Leveling

It was made from three pieces of wood in the form of anisosceles triangle.
A plumb bob suspended from the apex of the framealigned itself with a notch at the midpoint of the
base onlywhen the base was level.

There was much application of surveying to measureland in Egypt as land is taxed and payments made to
the Royal Granary.
Actually, around 1250 BC Rameses II erected atombstone to a surveyor/engineer. This can now be
seen in Cairo Railway Station.

Around 1800 BC Babylonian boundary stonesproliferated and people were threatened with dire
consequences if the marks were interfered with.
Maps begin to appear commonly in clay tablets.
Astronomy was practiced in Messopotamia, China,the Pacific and South America.

Archimedes (by 250 B.C.) recorded that the circumferenceof the earth is 30 myriads ofstadia (300 000 stadia).
Stadia is an ancient Greek measure of a distance of 202yards, or approximately 185 metres.
Eratosthenes supported this notion and by somecomplicated reasoning and calculations using the summersolstice, the sun, angles of shadows and the knownposition of two towns Syene and Alexandria (Syene was
known to be 5 000 stadia due south of Alexandria), foundthe circumference of the earth to be 25 000 miles.
It is in fact 24 881 miles - not bad!

The great Pyramids were presumably laid out usingknotted ropes, simple levels and water trough levels for the
foundations.
The Egyptians used these techniques in the field while theGreeks (Pythagoras, Archimedes, Eratosthenes) proved the
geometric reasoning behind the principles anddemonstrated a clear relationship between mathematics
and surveying.

The Roman Level
Around 150 BC a school of surveying was established by theRomans to teach town planning, map making and building ofroads and aqueducts.

Around 120 Ptolemy produced maps, andestablished the doctrine that if the earth was
spherical then a proper representation could beobtained by a geometrical projection of thatsurface. He was also an astronomer andinstrument maker, developed a cartographic
philosophy that lasted centuries.

Developments occurred in telescope design andconstruction, measurement of magnetic declination,measurement of time, standardization of units of
measurement, determination of longitude, surveyinginstruments and reference books written on surveyingmethods.
What could be mapped could be ruled Columbusadopted a radically new (but incorrect) radius of the earth,
sailed westwards from the known world to prove a shorterroute to India, ran into the Americas and called theindigenous people indians. Brilliant PR staff ensured he iscredited with discovering America, while infact it was
Vespucci Amerigo, as Columbus was too far south.

1900s
Rapid development of the mapping sciences as a result ofthe 2 major wars (theres nothing like a good war to
increase research and development).
The military requirements of World Wars I & II providedthe motivation for vast improvements in the design of
surveying equipment and execution of surveyingoperations.
