he died in 285 BC in Marseilles
The American explorer Frederick Albert Cook stated that he reached the North Pole in 1908, but his claim is not widely accepted. The conquest of the North Pole is traditionally credited to American Navy engineer Robert Edwin Peary, who claimed to have reached the Pole on April 6, 1909 but Peary's claim remains controversial. The first undisputed sighting of the Pole was on May 12, 1926 by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his American sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth. It is known North Pole fact, that the first man which crossed the Arctic Circle was the Greek geographer and explorer Pytheas of Massilia at around 320 BC. To answer this question, who discovered the North Pole and when, I'd say Pytheas.
Or to phrase the question differently, "Who discovered the correct explanation for the phases of the moon." I too would like to know. Did ancient astronomers know that the moon was reflecting the sun? Did they further discern that the phases were a result of seeing half-illuminated sphere from a different angle. This drawing by Galileo suggests that he had it figured out, but was he the first: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Galileo_moon_phases.jpg
No, Junior does not die in "Wildfire."
Improve the vegatation would die then the herbavores/omnivores would die then the carnivores would die then we would probablly die
60,000,000 cells die each second. 3,600,000,000 cells die die each hour.
It is not known today if Pytheas had a wife or children.

Pytheas was a Greek explorer who added greatly to the geographic knowledge of the world at the time, specifically with regard to the the British Isles. Some believe that he named Britain. His latitude measurements and descriptions of his exploration of the north influenced others significantly, although the book he published of his writings seems to be lost. We know of it through the writings of others.

The first person to explore the Arctic is believed to be Norse explorer, Erik the Red, who sailed to Greenland around 982 AD. However, some sources credit the Greek explorer Pytheas as the first to explore the Arctic around 325 BC.
"Prettanike" is the name given to the British Isles by the Greek Explorer Pytheas. He named it so because he came across a tribe of "painted" people, or "Prettani," so Prettanike means, roughly, land of the painted people. This is the origin or the word "Brittania" and, therefore, Britain. In short, Prettanike refers to Great Britain.
Bull crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Everybody thinks that he is the best explore because he discovered America. Newsflash he didn't. He only found it for his country. THere were thouusands of people or "Indians" already there. The best explorer is pytheas because he discovered Great BRitain which most great exploeres came from and if it wasn't for him Columbus wouldn't even exist. Well, yeah true but Pytheas was only for Britain but who developed Canada, Samuel de Champlain he was the first ever person to discover the first french speaking country other than France. but I hate Christopher colombus don't worry I am in ur side
