No. He and the other Europeans all ready knew about Asia. That is why he wanted to find a water route to Asia. People had been going over land to India and China for 200 years to bring back goods, but this took a long time and was very dangerous. Marco Polo and his father took 4 years to get to China in 1278, so finding a water route to China/India would pay off for the person who did it and the people who paid for the trip. This is the whole reason why they wanted to find one so they could get rich.
