There was a time when humans couldn't imagine distances we routinely travel today.

Excuse me, but I'm hard put to name what these unimaginable distances are that we routinely travel today, since we haven't left the earth since Apollo.

We routinely travel between continents, which is something most ancient people could scarcely imagine, let alone do. There was a time when the average human never traveled more than a few tens of miles from their birthplace in their entire lives.

The first to come to mind is “around “ the world.
