 BACKGROUND
INFORMATION ON GEOMATIC AND LAND SURVEYING
Surveying is generally recognised as one of the oldest crafts
in the world existing from a time when the idea of a profession
was never even thought of.
In modern terminology, it may be considered as one of the oldest
professions.
E. Dowson and V.L.O. Sheppard in their book on Land Registration
state: "The history of Ancient Egypt gives us the earliest
references to land measurement and of registration of title
to land."
Lancelot Hogben in his very popular self-educator entitled "Mathematics
for the Million" further said: "Herodotus tells us
that the Nile was constantly overflowing and washing away landmarks,
and so giving rise to disputes over taxes due and property rights.
This brought into being a craft of surveyors." .l more
