Europe is close to the Atlantic. Ancient people are known to have come out of the Mediterranean Sea and sail down the coast of Africa. This is pre-written history, so no one knows who it was, but it was not an explorer. It would have been a merchant seeking to trade goods with places that were dangerous to travel to by land.
