Exploration is the act of searching for the purpose of discovery of information or resources. Exploration occurs in all non-sessile animal species, including humans. In human history, its most dramatic rise was during the Age of Discovery when European explorers sailed and charted much of the rest of the world for a variety of reasons. Since then, major explorations after the Age of Discovery have occurred for reasons mostly aimed at information discovery.
In scientific research, exploration is one of three purposes of empirical research (the other two being description and explanation). The term is commonly used metaphorically. For example, an individual may speak of exploring the Internet, sexuality, etc.
The Phoenicians (1550 BCE–300 BCE) traded throughout the Mediterranean Sea and Asia Minor though many of their routes are still unknown today. The presence of tin in some Phoenician artifacts suggests that they may have traveled to Britain. Some scientists speculate that they voyaged all the way to Central America, although this is disputed. According to Virgil's Aeneid and other ancient sources, the legendary Queen Dido was a Phoenician from Asia Minor who sailed to North Africa and founded the city of Carthage.

And it seems as though that I've reached every one of them
And I have no words to describe how bad want to be myself
But in this mirror I see somebody else
[Chorus]
Explorer, can you hear me?
Oh God I can hear you
I am lost again, you've seen everything in me
When I look up at this night sky
The moon and stars You set in place
Yet God you make us
Just a little lower and crown us king and queens
Is this what we're meant to be?
[Chorus]
Explorer, can you hear me?
Oh God I can hear you
I am lost again, you've seen everything in me
Explorer, can you hear me?
Oh God I can hear you
I am lost again, Your eyes show me what You see
We all fall down to pieces
It's everything we know, we know
We all fall to pieces
It's everything we know
We all fall to pieces
It's everything, it's everything we know
[Chorus]
Explorer, can you hear me?
Oh God I can hear you
I am lost again, you've seen everything in me
Explorer, can you hear me?
Oh God I can hear you
