Attributed to Marinus of Tyre around AD 100, which makes it the oldest projection here.
Longitude and latitude become x and y directly, with no adjustment whatever. Neither equal-area nor conformal, and precisely because it is so plain it is the default frame for satellite imagery and global raster data.
Preserves: a balance struck between area, shape and distance.
