How did we get to a point of passports, visas, and borders?

Who started the passport idea?, Borders? how long ago?


    




Cambion Chadeauwaulker
Borders were thought of when man decided that to conquer a people meant control and power. Thus the concept of borders is pre-Biblical history.

As for Passports and Visa, Andy said it best:

Napoleonic War. Before that there were no passports but they were introduced to identify spies. They were found to be a good way of keeping track of people and have never been abolished.

When people started to go for politics,and found out that not everyone agrees with their ideas-only small area where people could understand their language...So they proclaimed borders which could be passed-over only if someone was loyal to their policy and admit their superiority.
That is why ancient Greeks had many borders:they consumed much politics.

with the idea you could own land.
Imagine that it remains after you die.
That idea never crosses their minds, we are all tenants only.
When Gengis Khan ran things, you could go from his capital to europe with a scrap of printed paper..,. power passport.
europeans make their people carry identity cards.. paper dog tags. and it is one huge place...
religions, property owners, exclude others.

MENTAL APPROACH.

Borders go back to Egypt for countries and before that for tribal boundaries. Travel papers go back as far Europe was probably source. you needed kings permission to leave and it was in writing other countries did not just want anyone to come in and take jobs aways.
