English to Arabic Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime

In the last millennium, it looks as if the frequency of voyaging has slowed down, and that's a real mystery. The places where people kept on communicating are the exceptions, not the rule, and we can only wonder why voyaging stopped.

Two thoughts come to my mind. One is that the focus of people's attention became internal as populations grew and as society became more complex and maybe competitive, and the other reason is because the process of exploration had had a feedback component. It was understood that the islands which were found were all that there were.

I do appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.
