∙ 15y agoChristopher Columbus discovered the continent of North America, doubling the size of the world as it was known, and overturning the notion that the world was flat. If it weren't for Columbus's discovery of the "New World" we would not have found America when he did.

∙ 14y agoThey really weren't. Other explorers did much more and found much more. Very few knew about him in his own time. It is only in modern history that he has been "made" important through the falsehoods in history books. This happens in history all the time. A story gets changed and is taken for fact, so it gets repeated as fact over and over. This has all ready started to happen with 9-11.
