Who knew they could reach the indies by sailing westward?
Columbus read certain books that had either been written in Arabic and translated or were still in Arabic. The Arabs knew that the world was round, and they even knew its circumference. When Columbus learned this he believed one could sail west across the Atlantic to reach the East Indies. However, he had misunderstood the units used in the Arabic text, so he thought Asia was much closer than it was. He also neglected the possibility that another landmass existed before Asia.
