Pre-YouTube Era

From 5000 B.C. to the first YouTube video was deemed as the Pre-YouTube Era.

Early mapping of the universe began early in this era and continued to expand outward during the era.

Mapping on a continent, however, proved unsuccessful during this era.

One person: ArceusFan2013 did try to make the mapping of continents possible.

He kept trying starting in 1998 and he managed to find the solution in 2005 JUST BEFORE YouTubes first video. A success that lead to the later development of mappers in 2010, particulary MervueMeringue who was one of the first mappers on YouTube.

Not much was known about the future during this era and therefore remained a valuable question until 2011 when many mappers started their FOE (Future Of Europe) series. ArceusFan2013 would be the first known mapper at the very end of this era (By that I mean March 1998)
