Columbus "discovered" North America, But he was not the first one; vikings were the first. Columbus was the second, and he believed that he could find India by sailing westward. So in effect, what Columbus did was provide an awareness of the new continent to Europeans, who soon after began to colonize the land.
According to Wikipedia Christopher Columbus used the Lunar eclipse to get the Jamaican tribesmen to provide him with supplies.
this is so stupid i hate him grrr
To accurately answer whether Christopher lives in America, I would need more context about which Christopher you are referring to, as it is a common name. If you have a specific individual in mind, please provide additional details. Otherwise, I cannot determine his location.
Christopher Columbus is famous for exploring the Americas in 1492. Prior to his departure, Columbus went to the king and queen of Spain to ask for money to pay for his voyage. He also asked them to provide his ships.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella sponsored Columbus because Columbus told them that if they gave him the money to find another trade route to India he would spread Catholicism in India (king and queen of Spain were Catholic)
Christopher Columbus was trying to find if the world was circle how he tough and not plain like everyone else. He ask the king to provide him with transportation and people for him to prove his theory
He has a tomb in the Dominican Republic and another in the cathedral in Seville, Spain. No one is sure which body is really his.
It seems your question is incomplete. If you're asking about the first person to discover something specific, please provide more context. For example, if you mean the first person to discover America, that would be widely attributed to Christopher Columbus in 1492, although indigenous peoples had inhabited the continent long before. If you have a different discovery in mind, please clarify!
