Interestingly, he believed he could reach Asia by sailing west from Europe, underestimating the Earth's size. Columbus made four voyages to the New World, but he never actually set foot on the mainland of North America. Additionally, he was not the first European to reach the Americas; that distinction is often attributed to the Norse explorer Leif Erikson, who arrived around 1000 AD.

Who find American?
Christopher Columbus is often credited with "finding" America in 1492 when he landed in the Bahamas, although he never set foot on the mainland of what is now the United States. It's important to note that Indigenous peoples had been living in the Americas for thousands of years prior to Columbus's arrival. Additionally, Norse explorer Leif Erikson reached parts of North America around 1000 AD, long before Columbus.

Ptolemy created his world map around the 2nd century AD, specifically in his work "Geographia." However, the map that Columbus used was based on Ptolemy's ideas and was further developed during the Renaissance, particularly through the work of cartographers like Martin Waldseemüller in the early 16th century. Columbus set sail in 1492, relying on the geographical knowledge and maps available at that time, which were influenced by Ptolemaic concepts.
