Because back then most Western Europeans still thought the world was flat, even though the Greeks proved it was round fifteen hundred years previously. Thank the Church, which suppressed much of the learning from pre-Christian times on the grounds that it was "pagan."

Why did people think Christopher Columbus was crazy?

Contradicting popular belief, Christopher Columbus didnt think that the world was round, he thought he could sail around the world without falling off the edge. People didnt think this could be done, but Christopher Columbus's reasoning for this was that he could reach the east indies because the world was a cylinder. If you roll up a map you can under stand this because then, nobody had discovered up past the edges of Antarctica and the Arctic. So, Christopher Columbus didnt have much support in going to the east indies. Also, the Spanish didnt give him a very good ship either. They thought he was going to die. When he got there he killed many of the natives and enslaved others. That is why we think he is crazy now, but this isnt what we teach in elementary school
