The Fall of Ferdinand Magellan
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe, which began in 1519 and ended in 1522, stands as one of the most significant achievements in the history of exploration. This epic journey, under the Spanish flag, marked the first time that humanity had proven that the Earth was round through practical experience, though this was already known scientifically. Too bad - Magellan never saw it to its conclusion.
