When was the coordinate system made?

The modern Cartesian coordinate system was developed in the 17th century by the French mathematician René Descartes. His work, particularly in the publication of "La Géométrie" in 1637, laid the foundation for using pairs of numbers to represent points in a plane. However, the concept of coordinate systems can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Babylonians, who used various forms of spatial representation.
