He concluded that the lands mentioned by Columbus as parts of the East Indies could not be the East Indies. At the time the circumference of the globe was pretty accurately known, as was the location and distance of those lands from Europe through the exploration travels made over the eastern sea route. Simple calculation then showed Vespucci that - unless the earth suddenly proved to be twice as small as everyone knew it was - that the lands discovered by Columbus must be an altogether different land mass, far removed from the East Indies.
