So they can read
The Bible was important to explorers for several reasons: it provided moral guidance and a sense of purpose in their journeys, it was a source of comfort and inspiration during challenging times, and it often served as a means of justifying their explorations to both themselves and to others. Additionally, many explorers believed that spreading Christianity to new lands was a key mission of their expeditions, and the Bible was central to this mission.
To spread theri religion
Gold and silver were important to explorers because they were valuable commodities that could be traded, used to purchase goods and services, and fund further explorations. These precious metals were also a sign of wealth, power, and status, making them desirable objectives for explorers seeking fame and fortune. Additionally, discovering and claiming gold and silver deposits could lead to economic and political advantage for their sponsors and home countries.
